Justice League Vol. 3: Leagues of Chaos

Justice League Vol. 3: Leagues of Chaos collects issues #70 through #74 of the Justice League series, originally published by DC Comics in 2022. This volume marks the conclusion of Brian Michael Bendis’s run on the title, which served as a significant soft reboot for the franchise following the events of Death Metal. The narrative arc brings together the classic Justice League roster to face the cosmic threat of Synmar Utopica, while simultaneously weaving in the character dynamics established in the lead-up to the Dark Crisis event.

The volume features interior art by a rotating team of illustrators, most notably Emanuela Lupacchino and Phil Hester, who were tasked with maintaining a cohesive visual identity for a large ensemble cast. Bendis’s approach focused on balancing high-stakes intergalactic conflict with the human-centric dialogue and character introspection that defined his previous tenure at Marvel. Upon release, the work was noted for its attempt to reconcile the League’s traditional heroism with the rapidly shifting status quo of the DC Multiverse.
