Injustice Gods Among Us. Year three. Volume 1

A war between heroes has already been fought. Superman led the Justice League, allied with the Sinestro Corps, to impose peace through absolute order. Batman's army and the Green Lantern Corps opposed him. The fighting ended with Superman, armed with a fear-powered yellow ring, killing Black Canary while the world watched.

Batman survived, and he keeps a back-up plan. Only magic can hurt a Kryptonian who carries a Sinestro Corps ring. John Constantine, a sorcerer and con man, wants revenge on Superman himself, so he helps Batman recruit the greatest magicians in the universe.

On paper the odds now favour Batman. The most powerful magic users in the universe stand on his side, and Superman should have little chance against them.

But something unseen is shielding the Justice League. It wants Superman's vision of a world under his control to survive, and it has the lethal strength to kill some of the universe's mightiest beings. This is the first volume of year three of the series, set in a superhero world already at war, and the question is what that hidden protector is and how far it will go.
