Superman – New 52 | Comics

Before the formation of Justice League (Justice League – Origin), Superman used to fight crime and battle super-villains alone on his own terms. He as Clark Kent and Lois Lane works for two different leading newspaper and is not ever married, not even dating each other.

After the battle with David Graves, (Justice League – The Villain's Journey) he starts dating Wonder Woman, which would continue for a while. The Legion of Super-Heroes traveled in time with him to save him from Anti-Superman Army.

He had given up his Clark Kent persona into a firefighter of Metropolis, "Johnny Clark" due to his accidental revelation of identity. Johnny Clark would continue on his own but Batman helped him out to resurrect the “Clark Kent” persona again for him.

He and reporter Lois Lane may have cross paths and will not come in same terms with each other but they both have a respect for each other. He also has Superboy; a clone of himself and his cousin from Krypton; Supergirl at his side in many adventures in time to time as well. With them at his side as well as the Justice League, Superman was successful in halting H’El’s plan to destroy Earth (H'El on Earth) and nearly killing Superboy.

He battles villains like Darkseid, Biomass, Vyndktvx, Lex Luthor, Helspont and a deadly infection of the ultimate Kryptonian killing machine Doomsday (Superman – Doomed) while playing his role as reporter Clark as well. Then he met another super-power being Ulysses (The Men of Tomorrow) from Dimension Four.

Judge Dredd – City Limits | Comics

From riot control to robots breaking down, Judge Dredd goes digging deep into the past only to find out disturbing truth.

Mega-City One is a metropolis of the North American territory in 22nd century Earth, which has become a home of 800 million people living there. Among them, there are ordinary citizens of several different classes, highly advanced group of robot workers, a load of the worst lunatics in forms of both ordinary and super-criminals to upset law.

A city with high rate of crime, a band of Judges is the only thing that keeps the balance of peace and anarchy among its dwellers. There is also huge discrimination of status among entire populace that greatly separates elite class of people from poor and sometimes it even creates a major revolt that shakes the entire system to its core.

Advanced robots are deployed to do the chores of these civilians and they are designed not to fail under any circumstances. However, a small malfunction in one of them can create a chain-reaction among many of them that eventually spreads.

A genetically enhanced regenerative tree atop Pleasure Mall called the Paradise Machine is designed to grow fruits and recycle them endlessly. When it suddenly malfunctions by starting to blast off windows and acting hostile by throwing fruits and pulling people off, a small bandit group uses this as a diversion for looting.

The shortly arrival of Judges stalled the looters for a while but they quickly escaped using another periodic malfunction of Paradise Machine as a diversion. Judge Dredd was about to get the drop on them but couldn't do it as his firearms got jammed. Outraged by his own failure, Dredd instantly blew up the tree with a High-Ex round.

A group of robots then confronts Judges for this destruction and even charged Judge Tarjay with taser for talking back, leading rest of his colleagues to blow them up all by open firing armor-piercing rounds. Dredd chased those creeps down to sewer and to his surprise, he only found several beheaded corpse of the criminals.

One of the perps was found alive but before he could be arrested and taken in for further interrogation, an ambush blasts his head off on spot. He and fellow Judge Myers believe this robot malfunction is pre-planned. Myers was almost getting his head chewed off by a sanitation robot later on during an escalated Block War.

When following him back at his home, Dredd finds some of his actions suspicious and discovered evidence that led him to believe someone is trying to frame his colleague. He seeks aid from one of his old accomplice Judge Anderson of PSI Division to dig deeper inside this complex puzzle after looking at Myers' case files.

Though Anderson initially finds him clean but then an emergency sends Dredd away on patrol, where he is ambushed and despite Joe shooting back almost immediately, the shooter managed to evade heat-seeking bullets. His attacker who appears to be highly efficient and even Judge-trained, eventually managed to flee scene.

With a little help from Anderson, dark secrets of a bent Judge named Lou Thompson from past came forward while looking through record division. Apparently, Myers was the responding officer when this corrupt PSI Judge was taken down and they suspect Lou has been hiding within his psyche after quietly sneaking inside.

Judge Dredd – City Limits

Popular 2000AD fictional super-cop character Judge Dredd has returned in a brand-new monthly ongoing series from IDW in 2012 and it kick-started with a four-part storyline titled "City Limits" to begin with that collects issues #01-04, plotted out by comic-book writer Duane Swierczynski (Godzilla, Harbinger Wars).

He was aided by Nelson Daniel (Joe Hill's The Cape, Wild Blue Yonder), who took care of all interior arts and penciler Zach Howard (Aliens – More Than Human, The Cape – 1969) has joined to provide cover arts for issues involved. Renowned artist Whilce Portacio (Image United, Spawn) has notably worked on a variant cover.

Swierczynski started a complete new series of inter-connected stories that will lead Dredd to revisit familiar places and encounter many deadly former enemies he already butted heads with before. As always, Judge Anderson provides one of his best supports and fortunately unfolds a sinister plot in works before it was too late.

A team of talented illustrators including Langdon Foss, Paul Gulacy, Brendan McCarthy and Inaki Miranda has worked on back-up stories featuring additional tales. Up next, comes "The Long Fail" from same creators that follow recent events.

Lex Luthor – New 52 | Comics

There is one thing that is bigger than Lex Luthor's brilliance and wealth; his ego. A self-made man with a superiority complex, he made fortune by selling Battlesuits as the owner of LexCorp and that's how he became the most dominant business of Metropolis.

He was recruited into a secret government project Project: Steel Soldier against Superman with General Lane. Luthor stole Kryptonite from them and then leaked the news to Clark Kent. He was imprisoned for helping Brainiac but was released for lack of evidence.

Lex Luthor – New 52 | Comics

After Justice League was formed, he was sent to prison again for selling super-weapons, thanks to Superman. During his time in prison, Superman would've visited him many times for his opinion on scientific catastrophes as well as Pandora (Trinity War).

Luthor was released and returned as CEO of LexCorp. When the Crime Syndicate took over the world, he decided to stop them. So, he assembled Bizarro, Black Adam, Black Manta, Captain Cold, Deathstroke and Sinestro to aid the duo of Batman and Catwoman.

He managed to save Nightwing's life, killed his Earth 3 counterpart and then defeated Ultraman (Forever Evil). Afterwards, he was considered as a hero and eventually joined the Justice League to fight the Amazo Virus (Injustice League).

As Darkseid dies after his battle with Anti-Monitor, Luthor absorbed a large amount of Anti-Life Equation energy, becoming the "God of Apokolips" and ruled Apokolips (Darkseid War). He returned to Earth after "The Final Days of Superman" and took his mantle wearing Superman's cape.

In the aftermath of the major universe changing and reality altering "Flashpoint" crossover event, a new chronological run began which is the timeline of Prime Earth and is known as The New 52. A rebooted tale of how one of the greatest super-hero team in history was formed in the new universe is focused on "Justice League – Origin". The story is plotted by writer Geoff Johns (Flash – Rebirth, Green Lantern – Rebirth) and artist extraordinaire Jim Lee (Batman – Hush, Superman – For Tomorrow), published by DC Comics in 2011, which collected the first six issues of Justice League second monthly ongoing series.

Kneel Before Darkseid

Siding from the age-old established tale of forming the League on the first place, this plot takes a different dig at things and introduces the threat of Darkseid on a very early stage. This is most probably because, DC wanted to keep par with their current cinematic lineup from DC Extended Universe with their comic-book stories for the benefit of a new-age audience. A direct-to-video animated film titled "Justice League: War" was released on 2014, that has loosely adapted the storyline of this book. The arc is followed by "The Villain's Journey" by the same creator duo and their run ends with the second story.
