Story:
The story begins with Dr, Light revealing that she was secretly approached by Maxwell Lord to join the League and that is where she got the transmittor used in the previous issue. This comes as a surprise to the League who knows nothing about Lord or his behind-the-scenes involvement with them thus far.Things to Watch:
Meanwhile, Lord is still secretly workin for the League and Dr. Fate encounters the Gray Man to ominously and mysteriously "warn" him.
At the same time, three super-powered beings, the Silver Sorceress, Wandjina, and Bluejay, arrive in the totalitarianistic nation of Bialya, attacking it's military installations and attempting to destroy nuclear weapons. They are soon confronted by the nation's dictator, Rumaan Harjavti, who convinces the three attackers that his country is peaceful and wins their sympathies just enough to also convince them that the other nations are the aggressors, winning a somewhat unessy alliance with the threesome. It is soon related that the threesome are survivors of a planet which was apparently destroyed by nuclear weapons and that their goal is to prevent this from ever happening to another world.
Eventually, the League learns of the goings-on in Bialya and is on the way. Upon approching Bialyan airpace, the League meets quick resistance from the off-worlders, naively fighting the League just as Harjavti had planned. When denied entry to Bialyan airspace, they remain hovering and waiting...
