One of the biggest hits for DC's New 52 is Justice League. It's easily one of the best team titles on the shelves, and not just because of the fantastic action sequences. These characters are just getting to know one another -- and like any family there are things they like about each other and things they don't. Figuring out how to work together to save the planet can be messy, and that struggle is endearing.
In issue #22, the leaguers and their secondary teammates have a mystery on their hands with the crash-landed Watchtower, but something much worse is on the horizon. Billy Batson is determined to take Black Adam's ashes back to Adam's native soil of Kandaq, but he creates an international incident. The Justice League and the Justice League of America respond, and as Madame Xanadu has correctly predicted, a war breaks out.
Trinity War is the crossover event of the summer, and while it's going to be a slugfest, don't ignore the greater mystery surrounding Superman that is boiling under the surface. Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis are a wonderful team, the story is complex and engaging while the art is fantastic. '
