“WE LIVE IN A JUSTICE SOCIETY” part one “COME TOGETHER RIGHT NOW”
Earth 2. 2021.
For decades, they have gathered and colluded in secret. To the last, these grim conspirators could be described as, at best, self-interested and, at worst, “evil.”
Xìng Sinestro. Pinocchio. The Black Racer. Ngi the Gorilla God. The Haunted Panzer. Desperado Despero. Nanaue the Shark King. The Memer. Just to name a few…
They are the Legion of Doom. And they have finally decided to unite, as one, to take down their respective enemies. Can any who oppose them survive?
The attack begins on the Throne-world within the Constellation Aquarius. Arthur Curry first came to this amazing planet in 1941 (see EARTH-2: ARTHUR CURRY OF ATLANTIS #1). The human body being 90% water, the aqua-tech of Atlantis largely preserved Curry’s vigor. Yet, eighty years is still eighty years… and time took it’s toll. He had just transitioned leadership to his daughter when disaster struck…
Atlantis’ old enemies, the shark-like Carcharodons, returned with new allies. The deceptive robotic vehicle-shapeshifting race, the Stel, join their assault. Worse still, sorcerers of the Cult of Qward bolster Atlantis’ enemies with strange magic while mythological god-like entities lead the charge.
Atlantis’ only hope is for Arthur to return home… return to Earth. And seek Justice!
But can he make the dangerous trek with all the evil in the universe pursuing him?

Once In A Lifetime
Connor is full of fear right now. He's very afraid but not for himself. He surrendered to Komodo and Kilroy and he knows that they are taking him back to face The Guild and Richard Dragon. But before they left, Komodo stabbed his friend Avila in the chest and left her for dead. He's afraid that Avila is dead because of him. And now that fear has given away to guilt and ultimately he feels resigned to his fate. Perhaps he deserves to die for what happened to Avila. If he never met her, she would still be alive. No matter what happens, he will accept his fate when he stands before Dragon.
Back at Avila's apartment, Naomi and Jax are just awakening from being drugged by Kilroy. They look over at Avila lying in a pool of blood but they are in no condition to help her. Suddenly the door opens and someone enters the room. They help Avila, covering her wounds to stop the bleeding. Once they are sure that she'll be okay, they call 911 to get her help. Then they walk to Naomi and Jax and help them to their feet. He tells them that if they want to save Connor then they need to come with him and do exactly what he tells them!

“WE LIVE IN A JUSTICE SOCIETY” part two “COFFIN DANCE”
Earth-2. 2021.
The Memer’s mission to Earth-0, to make Batman’s Boner go viral, was foiled by a very extended Bat Family. With the Golden Age Joker of Earth-2 returned to his proper time and dimension, Terry McGinnis brings the Joker’s apprehended heirs back to modern Earth-2 - and, suspecting a greater plan is afoot, he’s followed by Earth-0’s Bruce Wayne!
They return… to a Gotham under siege. Batman’s truly large boner was to fall for the distraction. With Batman on another Earth, the Legion of Doom was free to turn Gotham into its forward operating base. Now the Black Racer and Pinocchio rule the streets… as alien vessels arrive overhead and sorcerous magic fills the sky!
This is too much for even the Batmen of Two Worlds to handle alone. The call must be sent out. Justice Society… Socialize!
Can the Batmen reach the Batcave to make it happen? And how will Bruce react to seeing the elderly, centenarian fate of Bruce Wayne of Earth-2?
