Justice League Gods and Monsters TP

Description

The prequel to the critically acclaimed animated film, from an all-star lineup of creators including Bruce Timm (BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES), J.M. DeMatteis (JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL), Thony Silas (BATMAN BEYOND) and many more! In this alternate universe, the Justice League isn't a team of the world's greatest superheroes who protect Earth from evil and save it from disaster. No-this Justice League is a trio of ruthless "heroes" who answer to no one and will stop at nothing to destroy their enemies. The names are the same, but not the people they're attached to: Superman is the son of Zod, Batman is an inhuman vampire, and Wonder Woman is a tragic former resident of New Genesis. These are the world's best and only hope. Collects JUSTICE LEAGUE: GODS AND MONSTERS #1-3, JUSTICE LEAGUE: GODS AND MONSTERS SUPERMAN #1, JUSTICE LEAGUE: GODS AND MONSTERS BATMAN #1, and JUSTICE LEAGUE: GODS AND MONSTERS WONDER WOMAN #1.

J.M. DeMatteis was a music critic but gave it up for becoming an award-winning writer best known for his personal works such as MOONSHADOW and BROOKLYN DREAMS. He began writing for DC in the late 1970s and rose to prominence with characters such as the JUSTICE LEAGUE revamp of the 1980s, a franchise that earned him an Eisner Award in 2004 for Best Humor Publication. He has written every major character at DC and Marvel, using that experience for a successful foray into animation writing including episodes of JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED and BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND BOLD.

"A stylish, noir-flavored take on Batman."--IGN
