“THE LONG, HARD ROAD TO DESTINY”
An event 50,000 years in the making!
In the early days of humanity, one caveman found a strange meteorite that made him immortal. Since that time, the metahuman we now know as Vandal Savage and his illuminati, the Light, have manipulated the course of Earth’s history with one goal: to spur mankind’s evolution and ensure that humanity not only survives… but dominates!
And upon consolidating his power, and cracking down on non-human/alien activity on Earth, he has finally reached his endgame!
Now is the time for humanity to go forth and claim it’s glorious destiny! No longer will mankind be seen as primitive and inferior! No longer will aliens exert dominion over mankind! Today, humanity takes its rightful place as the true “Guardians of the Universe”! Today, mankind reaches the planet at the center of the Universe and claims the vast power located there for its own! Today… mankind takes over Oa!
The planetary headquarters of the Green Lantern Corps will be well defended… but Vandal has the support of the United Nations, the vast resources of the World Organization for the Advancement of Humanity (W.O.A.H.) and its legion of metahuman recruits, Atlantis, scores of robotic Manhunters, and the planet-sized super-weapon: Warworld! Moreover, he has a very specific plan…
As Ganthet orders the Green Lantern Corps to send out an S.O.S., is there anyone willing to answer the call before the balance of power on the universe is forever shifted?

“HUMANITY ASCENDANT”
Despite the most valiant of efforts, the Green Lantern Corps has failed. Oa, the planet-sized headquarters at the center of the Universe, now belongs to humanity. More specifically, it belongs to Vandal Savage!
So begins the fortification. Savage intends to entrench himself upon Oa and secure it permanently. Moving in a large occupying force from various Earth nations, including Atlantis, Savage imprisons the surviving Green Lanterns in their own sciencells and uses the Parasite to absorb and distribute power. His ultimate goal: harness the technology of Oa, including its power rings and Central Battery, and combine it with the might of Warworld, allowing humanity to claim its birthright as cosmic apex predators!
Under Savage’s control, Oa has become the ultimate fortress in the Universe. Woe be unto any “heroes” who try to lay siege to it… for no Justice League yet assembled could prevail in such a task!
Is all hope lost?

“JUSTICE DELAYED”
Under Vandal Savage’s guidance, humanity is poised to become the dominant species in the Universe. Using Warworld and technology stolen from occupied Oa, as well as the unique skills of the metahumans of W.O.A.H., Savage has already exterminated the Circadians for daring to defy him (see THE FLASH #40). What alien world is next?
The human Green Lanterns, cut off from their power source, nonetheless refuse to relinquish their planetary headquarters! Hal Jordan and John Stewart, now wielding yellow power rings, assemble a team unlike any other dedicated to liberating Oa! Some members you’d expect. Others are surprising additions…
Superman, the last son of Krypton. Wonder Woman, ascendant Amazonian. Batman, the dark knight. Aquaman, champion-in-exile of Atlantis. The Flash, fastest man alive. Martian Manhunter, hero of the Red Planet. Hawkman and Hawkwoman, Thanagarian law enforcement. Black Adam, magical ruler of Khandaq. Lobo, the main man and last Czarnian. Star Sapphire, vengeful mistress of love. And Doomsday, unstoppable monster now in control thanks to the Willpower Virus.
This League, and those who follow it, set out to do the impossible: liberate Oa and show the universe that real humanity doesn’t seek to dominate the stars… it just seeks Justice!
But can even this force stand up to Savage, who has unlocked the secret to equipping his minions with Green Lantern rings?

“IN SPITE OF JUSTICE”
As the Justice League struggles valiantly against impossible odds, Vandal Savage executes every last contingency plan that he has in order to stop them and maintain control of Oa! Even the likes of Superman, Wonder Woman, and Black Adam begin to crack under the relentless pressure that the immortal Savage brings to bear! Hal Jordan and John Stewart struggle to pry the Parasite off of Oa’s Central Battery but are being overwhelmed! The sheer number of Manhunters is insurmountable! The Light is unstoppable!
Yet the Justice League’s true power was never its strength alone, but rather its ability to inspire. Other powers throughout the Universe arrive - including fleets from the member worlds of the still-new United Planets, in addition to the Yellow, Blue, and even the Red Lantern Corps! They’re behind our heroes and represent galactic unity!
This is the end of 50,000 years of planning. Against this overwhelming force, Savage begins to see that he can no longer win. But does that end his threat… or make him more dangerous?
