For you see, the guys cover the Justice League Sourcebook from Mayfair Games’ DC Heroes RPG. Every member of the Justice League, whether of America, Detroit, International, America again, Europe, or Antarctica, plus many of their friends, enemies, HQs, gadgets and constitutional documents (you read that right). Get your credentials from Maxwell Lord’s office and don’t forget to bring your sense of humor… Plus, your feedback from, like, a year ago! It’s just like time travel!
