Justice League: The New Frontier Page #4

I...

-You keep your mouth shut...

...and your ears open.

I'm about to share some of this nation's

greatest secrets with you.

Couple of years ago, we found the body

of a radical scientist named Erdel...

...in a small observatory near Gotham.

Somehow,

he'd been able to contact Mars.

Mars? You're joking, right?

Yes, Jordan, I'm a real kidder.

We found this footprint

at the observatory.

Did you find what made that print?

No.

Whatever it is,

it's eluded us for two years.

There's life on Mars, Jordan.

And it's come to Earth.

Look, I'm just a pilot.

What does this have to do with me?

You haven't figured it out yet?

We've got to know what these Martians

want from us...

...and since we can't find them

here on Earth...

...we're going to Mars.

Outstanding.

Welcome home, Mr. Jones.

Why didn't I-?

Why didn't you sense me as you do others?

That's my secret.

Why are you here?

Because of The Centre?

The cult's spreading all over the world.

At first I thought it might be

the communists.

But they're having trouble

with the cults too.

It's not ideologicaI.

There's some kind

of psychic force involved.

It's affecting people

with high susceptibility.

Getting into their minds.

I felt it.

Yes, your feelings. How-?

Let's just say that's my secret.

You came here because

you want to work together, true?

True.

-Then we'll share our information.

I've already collected some.

Newspaper clippings.

You'll have to do better than that.

And one other thing, I'm not sure

what you are or where you come from...

...but my instincts tell me

you're to be trusted.

Make no mistake, though.

I have a $70,000 sliver

of radioactive meteor...

...to stop the one from Metropolis.

With you, all I need is a penny

for a book of matches.

What's the matter, Grodd,

feeling starved for attention?

You're government property now, swifty.

We're gonna find out

what makes you tick.

Hey.

Did you see that?

Where did he go?

What you got there, John?

A kids' book?

-Not exactly.

The author committed suicide

a while back.

He thought the world was about to end.

You like this weird stuff, don't you?

WelI, you should see what they got

in the interrogation room.

He shot a cop on the parkway.

Then we found his mother...

...in his trunk.

Mental case?

-Not your typical one.

This guy's a scientist.

You're here to kill me, aren't you?

You're part of it.

I'm not going to kill you.

And what do you think I'm part of?

The Centre. It's everywhere.

What do you know about The Centre?

It's gonna kill everyone.

I was trying to get away from it.

How do you know alI this?

I just do. I can feel it.

I tried to get in on the Mars mission
