Synopsis Superman's JLA colleagues guest in an action-packed issue! Now on-call full-time, the Man of Steel liberates an entire country (and that's just on page one!), faces Captains Cold and Boomerang, evades Lexcom and the D.E.O., has a chat with the Metropolis Special Crimes Unit, and that's just the beginning!
