Synopsis:

The most powerful members of the Justice League work together to take care of some 'mirror matter' which is threatening the Earth. Then, after officially accepting Manitou Raven as a member of the League, they intercept a broadcast showing the invasion of an alien planet. They are split over what they should do - whether this is any of their business. Half of the League - Superman, Wonder Woman, Major Disaster, Green Lantern, Faith and Manitou opt to intervene in the situation, while the others stay behind on Earth. They arive on the planet of Kylaq and thwart the attack of the Peacemakers, but the people of the planet are unwilling to negotiate with their would-be oppressors. The grudgingly relent to Wonder Woman's persuasion, and advise the League to work with their minister of defence - Kanjar Ro.
