Johns, Geoff. Justice League Origin. New York, NY: DC Comics, 2012. Print. 

               In Justice League Origins, a group of aliens, from the planet Apokolips, invade the earth in order to conquer it in the name of their leader DARKSEID.  In order to save Earth from destruction, or whatever plans Darkseid has in mind, the world's mightiest
heroes join forces.  Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, Cyborg, and Aquaman  are the only ones with the brains and power to stop this invasion at its roots, but first they must overcome their differences in order to work together.  Throughout this adventure, author Geoff Johns portrays the different superheroes in an individualistic manor each with their own means, and purpose for fighting. 



                Geoff Johns is a respected author and story
teller in the comic book industry.  His legendary run of Green Lantern is
widely revered as the best portrayal of the characters and stories.  In the
last couple of years Geoff Johns has written for many titles such as Justice
League and Batman Earth 1.  Geoff has also been credited with the increase
in popularity for the character Aquaman.  Geoff Johns is a experienced and
respected author in the comic book industry and thus considered an expert on
the subject of super heroes. 



                This comic book, is relevant to my paper
because it introduces the concept of a super hero  team and what it is they fight for.  In
the book we see many different examples of a superheroes and all the ways they
differ, and all the traits they share.  In the book some super heroes are
born with their powers and see it as their duty to protect the people  (Superman), where as other heroes obtain their powers later in life (flash, green lantern), and some super heroes feel compelled to fight based off of past experiences but in the end they all fight
for the people and the world not themselves, which illustrates my point that super powers don't make you a super hero, your purpose does.
