The Justice League operates in secret, but tensions are building between the altruistic half of the team (Superman, Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl, Metamorpho) and those looking for some personal profit (GL, Flash, Plastic Man, Atom). Lois Lane is on their case, and so is FBI profiler Bruce Wayne.

Great Elseworlds story, though dated

An interesting though dated story from Chaykin with excellent art by Mckone. Worth a read for this two issue series.
