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.

Everything has led to this.

For years, the Justice League has protected Earth from threats beyond imagination. Now Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Cyborg, and the Flash face their greatest challenge yet as two unstoppable forces—Darkseid and the Anti-Monitor—bring a war to Earth that threatens the future of everything they know.

As the conflict grows, the heroes are pushed beyond their limits and granted extraordinary new powers that test their values, their relationships, and their understanding of what it means to be a hero. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, the League must stand together against impossible odds—or risk losing everything they have fought to protect.

Written by Geoff Johns and brought to life by artist Jason Fabok, this fourth and final volume delivers the thrilling conclusion to the New 52 Justice League era, combining blockbuster action, emotional stakes, and universe-changing consequences.
