Here begins Arthur Curry's recollection of the epic journey that led him to become the mythical superhero we know as Aquaman. Since his dramatic debut in the 1940s, Aquaman has gone from admired hero to legendary icon.

Gifted with the power of the atom, the superhero known as Firestorm has the building blocks of the universe at his fiery fingertips…but pulling himself together is his biggest challenge of all.
Because Firestorm is not just one hero-he's a matrix of minds, including the minds of students Ronnie Raymond and Jason Rusch and the brilliant Professor Stein. Fused together, the fury of Firestorm is a force to be reckoned with. But broken apart, they're a ticking time bomb…and everyone from their worst adversaries to the U.S. government wants to have their fingers on the button.
Now Jason, Ronnie and Professor Stein are locked in a race against time-and fearsome foes like Danton Black and Major Force-to preserve the Firestorm Protocol before it falls apart. Can they outrace their enemies and harness the power, or will the fire consume them one by one?

As war erupts all over the world, Superman leads the charge against these would-be alien conquerors. Can our planet's greatest champions repel an army of invaders, each with the strength to rival the Man of Steel? One thing is certain: surrender is not an option!

JSA: the Golden Age
Comic - Action
From STARMAN scribe James Robinson, and in the beautiful Deluxe Edition format, comes an alternate history tale that pits the heroes of the Justice Society of America against a devastating, homegrown threat!
Set during the start of one of the darkest periods of U.S. history, the infamous "McCarthy Era," THE GOLDEN AGE takes a thought-provoking look at what might have happened to DC's first generation of superheroes beyond their exploits during the Second World War, when paranoia has taken a chokehold on America.
DC's first generation of superheroes have been driven into retirement or hiding, or madness--except for a few who are willing to change with the times. But behind the scenes, something even more sinister is unfolding--a subtle plot that may engulf the planet and remake it in one man's image. Collects JSA: THE GOLDEN AGE #1-4.
Starman (1988-1992)
Comic - Action
There have been a number of Starmen on the scene since the 1940s, from the cosmic rod-wielding hero of the Golden Age to the science fiction warrior of the 1970s. But you haven't seen anything like this all-new interpretation of Starman. The name may be the same, but that's where all similarities end. Starman's a superhero who doesn't know how he got to be that way...or even the full extent of his spectacular powers. He's a man who doesn't know who he is or where he came from. But that doesn't mean he can't put his powers to good use while he's waiting to find out.

Together, they may be the only thing on Earth that can stop the alien warlord Darkseid from claiming our planet as his own. Together…they will become the Justice League!
Jim Lee's stunning artwork is featured in this collection as never before-in his original pencils.
