JLA: Year One

    (DC, 1998-1999, 2017)
™ and ©1998 DC Comics

After a title has achieved a certain measure of longevity, inserting a retroactive continuity to flesh out situations and foreshadow personality conflicts becomes an attractive option. Readers, who were not born when the title started, are anxious to read stories that purport to retell the early days, even though older fans may remember things differently.

JLA: Year One is a twelve-issue mini-series featuring characters from the Silver Age with Barry Allen as the Flash, Hal Jordan as Green Lantern, and with Black Canary, The Martian Manhunter and Aquaman rounding out the team. Writer Mark Waid reveals the how five disparate strangers mesh to become the Justice League, while behind the scenes, a mysterious group named Locus exhibits an ominous interest in the fledgling alliance.
