And who is pulling the strings? • Plus: Find out why Martian Manhunter is the most dangerous of them all. Period.

JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #1 VARIANT COVERS JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #1 is available with cover art by DAVID FINCH. The standard edition cover features the flag of the United States. This issue is available in 52 U.S. flag variant editions, one for each state plus Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico In addition, you may order a shrinkwrapped pack of the standard edition of JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #1 plus all 52 variant covers, with a suggested retail price of $149.99 US. There is no minimum purchase needed to order this item.

There’s lazy gimmicks, and there’s releasing 52 variant covers that are no different except for swapping out a flag. And the 53 versions shrinkwrapped together costs just as much as the gigantic omnibus of one of the 90s’ great series. If we reported that story 2 months ago, it would be widely mocked as the joke it is. But now it’s a serious joke, and as Alan Moore taught us, serious jokes are just sad.

• No, that’s not a typo. Vibe stars in his own ongoing monthly title, starting with this debut issue cowritten by GEOFF JOHNS! • One of the most unlikely members of the Justice League of America ever (okay, THE most unlikely) will soon discover he’s one of the most powerful individuals on Earth. But how did Vibe get his abilities? What is the cost to them? And why does the JLA want him on the team so desperately? • Plus: We’ve seen the Red Room and the Black Room, but what is…the Circus?

So, Katana’s series is just called Katana, but Vibe’s series is Justice League of America’s Vibe. So I guess they put more trust in the person who was one of the first members of Batman’s Cool Kids Club than the dude who was a part of the actual Justice League of America, with Martian Manhunter and Aquaman and all?
