Finished reading Justice League: Injustice League, dealing with the fallout of Forever Evil as the League deal with new recruits and a manmade super virus. The book opens up after the fall of the Crime Syndicate as Lex Luthor is praised as a hero while the Justice League try to find his where abouts. When the League find him on a newly commissioned Watchtower they interrogate Luthor with the use of Wonder Woman's lasso before he leaves where later that night he turns up outside Bruce Wayne's Manor with the knowledge of him being Batman. After Luthor leaves the Manor Batman gets called to Portland, Oregon were Power Ring's ring has found it's welder in Jessica Cruz and has already got into a conflict with the Doom Patrol. The second story features Captain Cold getting used to his new job as Lex Luthor's head of security while Flash try's to help Jessica deal with the power ring she has as the rest of the league deal with gorilla Grodd and help with humanitarian aid. The final story opens up with Lex Luthor announcing in a partnership between Lexcorp and Wayne Enterprises as Lex gives Bruce Wayne a tour of his company along with his secret laboratories where Bruce meets Lex's sister Lena when the supervillain Neutron crashes into the lab to assassinate Luthor accidentally releasing the Amazo Virus which begins to effect the people by giving them temporary superpowers before the virus kills them while all of the human League members are infected leaving it up to Wonder Woman and Superman to save everyone with Lex Luthor in his own hazmat suit.Overall this was an amazing book as writer Geoff Johns scales back from the worldwide thereat that was the Crime Syndicate but not with the suspense or the action as the Justice League contain threats that are just as epic. The character interactions Lex Luthor has with Doom Patrols leader Niles Caulder and the members of the Justice League are great as it constantly show how he try's to escape the shadow of his past to become a hero worthy of a place on the Justice League even though Superman and Batman don't completely trust Luthor with the surprise appearance of another Justice League villain helps to enforce the heroes concern. While Captain Cold has some amazing moments for some great interactions with Luthor and Wonder Woman while he has some jaw dropping scenes during the Amazo Virus story thanks to how artist Jason Fabok displays the many uses of Captain Cold's Coldgun form stopping billets in midair to freezing a zombie Flash in mid attack. Also the story of the new Power Ring is great as its extremely captivating to how her journey throughout the book goes especially with the relationship she forms with the Flash makes her more of an intresting character for the future. 9/10.
