JLA: YEAR ONE
(W) Waid/Augustyn (A) Kitson (E) Tomasi (F) 12 issues, Miraweb
DCU. A 12-issue maxiseries focuses on the five founding JLA members — the Silver Age Flash Barry Allen and Silver Age Green Lantern Hal Jordan, Black Canary, Martian Manhunter and Aquaman — inexperienced heroes striving to prove themselves worthy of the world's faith. But the task proves harder than they might expect when faced with such foes as the immortal Vandal Savage, mad scientist T.O. Morrow, and the Brotherhood of Evil — whose reign of terror brings together the JLA and the outcast heroes known as the Doom Patrol.

The new, 14-member League comes together over the course of the "Camelot" storyline, beginning with January's JLA #16.

The aftermath of "Then & Now" finds the regrouped team — now including Captain Marvel, Jr. and the man-monster Fringe, along with occasional help from Arsenal — having financial troubles and interacting more with the rest of the DC Universe, with an appearance by Superman planned for issue #19.
