Justice League series.
Illustrated by
Tim Levins.
These slim books find Justice League members working together to battle villains Gorilla Grodd, Darkseid, and Amazo, and to help Bizarro (who was tricked into cloning himself by Lex Luthor). The adventures are action-packed if convoluted; the same "Justice League Roll Call" begins each volume, and "JL Database: Villains" sections are appended, helping differentiate the many characters. "Think" and "Write" prompts are included. Glos. Review covers these Justice League titles: Darkseid and the Fires of Apokolips, Amazo and the Planetary Reboot, Bizarro and the Doppelgangers of Doom, and Gorilla Grodd and the Primate Protocol.
