Harm: Mediocrity such as this is never far from Harm!

Synopsis “Secrets”

31st October -- There been a break in at New York City’s Met, but Detective Jim Daniels is incredulous that only one object, the “Sword of Beowulf”, an ancient Anglo-saxon sword held in a claw-like scabbard, has been stolen. The curator of the exhibit tells the detective about the mythical powers of the sword which he says can only be unlocked by a person “pure of heart” who says a special phrase in Old English. The thief, who repeatedly refers to himself as “Harm” in the third person, is still in the building (“Still, Harm should be grateful. Harm did need the words”). The sword’s scabbard opens upon Harm’s recitation of the phrase and he draws out the sword. An orange light passes from the Sword to Harm and lodges where his heart should be. A stunned curator asks how Harm could possible be “Pure of Heart”, but is reminded that the myth didn’t specify “pure good”, just “pure”.

Synopsis “In The Dark Part Three: Dark Matter” (20-pages)

Previously: June Moon has somehow become separated from the Enchantress, the witch entity which usually possesses her. However, this has driven the Enchantress insane. Through her bitterness and anger, she blames other magic users for her separation from June, but those emotions are being manipulated by Madame Xanadu for her own purposes. The Enchantress first attacked Zatanna, who retreated into a protective trace, before tracking June Moon to the Deadman’s apartment and attacking Dawn Granger, Deadman’s girlfriend.

Quotes

Xanadu: Listen, I have a theory. You don’t have the powers these people have without paying a heavy price. You know what it’s like, to destroy anything innocent that enters your life? To destroy love? You know what that does to you? A kind of darkness envelops you.

Synopsis “In The Dark Part Two: Dark Matter” (20-pages)

Previously: Magical champions are being manipulated by the witches Enchantress and Madame Xanadu. The Enchantress has been split from her mortal alter ego, June Moon, and has devolved into a bitter and hateful maelstrom of magic. She vanquishes the Justice League, but cannot find June Moon who has escaped across the country. Madame Xanadu’s cards have revealed to her the dark future that the Enchantress represents and she has begun drawing together a group of damaged individuals to seemingly oppose her.

Wonder Woman: CREATURES OF EVIL! BACK TO HADES!Flash: Uh… wow.Green Lantern: Dibs.

Synopsis “Justice League Part Three” (22-pages)

Previously: It is five years ago and Earth’s newly emerged superheroes are feared by a populice who cannot yet tell them apart from the supervillains. Matters begin when Gotham City’s Batman and Coast City’s Green Lantern find themselves fighting the same winged mechanical-demon. Together they follow-up the possibility that it is an alien creature by questioning the alien Superman in Metropolis. A misunderstanding leads to a brawl and Green Lantern calls in the Flash to back them-up. The four heroes have only just got their personal misunderstandings sorted when a box they seized from the first monster starts “pinging”. A massive teleportation portal suddenly opens and a hoard of identical creatures poor through. A second portal simultaneously opens in Detroit’s STAR Labs severely injuring Victor Stone, the son of Silas Stone, the scientist who had been studying another of the alien boxes.

Serafin: Come on pard’ners, lets ride in there, guns a blazing, and round-up them outlaws!Dreamer: He’s watched a lot of Earth Westerns.

Synopsis “Disordered”

Previously in "Failsafe": The Martian Manhunter had linked the Team’s minds together telepathically to create an artificial reality (AR), a shared dream, where the Earth was under attack. The Team were asked to fill the void left after the AR Justice League were killed. However, they were unaware that it was a no-win scenario constructed to test their performance against an impossible enemy. The AR turned into a nightmare after Artemis was “killed”. Miss Martian’s subconscious could not differentiate between the AR and reality and her untrained telepathic mind convinced everybody else that the events they were experiencing were real. Each of the Team “died” in turn as the no-win scenario degenerated towards destruction. It was only at the end, when only Miss Martian was left, that the Manhunter was able to wrestle control of the AR back from her subconscious and shut it down. The Team were left them shaken and disturbed at the choices and sacrifices they had made whilst under extreme duress.

Synopsis “Hot Case”

Classified: General W. Eiling Eyes Only

(cont. ) As previous reported the Justice League’s proteges are conducting an investigation into the 1968 murder conviction of Nathaniel Adams. They have so far heard from Henry Yarrow, Adams’ defence counsel, that he was investigating a Vietnam smuggling ring organised by General Clement Lemar. Yarrow alleged that Lemar tried to silence the investigation by arranging an ambush designed to kill Adams and himself. They survived, but Adams blacked out whilst confronting Lemar and awoke to find him dead. With no evidence to prove his innocence you sentenced Adams to imprisonment, but he died a year later.

Synopsis “Cold Case”

Classified: General W. Eiling Eyes Only

General,

We have recently become aware of an investigation by the Justice League’s proteges into the 1968 murder conviction of USAF intelligence officer Captain Nathaniel Adams. As you will be aware the details are that a JAG board overseen by yourself (then a Colonel) heard from prosecutor Lt Kevin Blankly that Adams killed General Clement Lemar in revenge for supposedly arranging an ambush in Vietnam which wiped-out Adams’ platoon. Defending council Henry Yarrow, the only other survivor of the ambush, argued that Adams had been drugged and had no recall of his confrontation with Lemar. However, medical examiner Major Shirley Mason testified that no drugs had been found in Adams’ bloodstream. The public record recalls that you found Adams guilty of Lemar’s murder and that he died in prison a year later.

Superboy: I’m not Superman.General Eiling: I don’t know who you are son and right now I don’t care. You wear the S and you got the job done.

Synopsis “Failsafe”

The approach towards the Earth of a massive alien mothership is answered by Green Lanterns John Stewart and Hal Jordan and a spaceworthy version of Batman’s Batplane. The Lanterns challenge the alien ship to identify itself, but it responds by disintegrating them. The bomb-bay doors of the Batplane open, disgorging the Justice League’s heaviest-hitters – Superman, Captain Atom, the Martian Manhunter, and Captain Marvel. However, they too are disintegrated by the alien craft and its squadrons of smaller fighters. The Batman manages to eject from the Batplane when it is targeted by the fighters, but his survival pod is destroyed before he can escape. The entire attack has been watched by the League’s side kicks from the Cave headquarters. The teenagers, who seem strangely passive after witnessing the deaths of their mentors, are told by the Red Tornado that should the rest of the League fall it will be up to them to defend the Earth.

Synopsis “The Signal Masters Part 3″ (20-pages)

Previously: The UN Head of Intelligence, Andre Biggs, had sought to form a new incarnation of the Justice League from sanctioned international superheroes with transparent public identities. He put Booster Gold in charge of his manufactured group, but they were forced to retreat from their first mission in disarray. They had been sent to investigate the disappearance of a UN science team in Peru, but discovered a powerful robotic giant – the first of four “Signalmen” to appear. Booster only survived as leader because he had the backing of China’s August-General-In-Iron and the USA’s Batman. However, the Hall of Justice has been destroyed by arsonists and Booster has yet to resolve the situation with the giants.

Quotes

Batman: We weren’t gathered by a third party, to be sent on a mission we were unprepared for. You don’t know your team’s capabilities. Learn from this, Booster — follow your gut and make the team yours.

Synopsis “The Signal Masters Part 2″ (20-pages)

Previously: The United Nations seeks to found their own version of the the Justice League, an international superhero group, which they hope will redress the concerns that many people have over the international presence of unsanctioned and unaccountable superheroes. The new group will only contain heroes whose identities are known and go unmasked. It is overseen by UN Head of Intelligence Andre Biggs and led in the field by Booster Gold (a hero Biggs overestimates his ability to control). However, Batman is dubious about the plan and votes himself on to the team. Their first mission is to investigate the disappearance of a missing research team in Peru, but the team are scattered by the sudden appearance of a massive humanoid robot.
