Justice League: The New 52 Book Four

The Justice League faces its greatest challenge in the epic conclusion to Geoff Johns’s New 52 saga—the Darkseid War is here!

Years ago, the Justice League first came together to stop Darkseid and his parademon army from invading our Earth. Now Darkseid's wars find our planet once again as his fight with the Anti-Monitor, one of the most powerfully destructive creatures ever created, finds its frontlines on Earth.

With death and destruction looming, Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman, and the rest of the Justice League race to find a way to stop the coming bloodshed. Seeking new allies, New Gods, and even a miracle or two, they might stand a chance. But when two unstoppable forces of evil go to war, even the Earth's greatest heroes might not be enough to save the world.
