Justice League of America's Vibe #1 - Not-So-Secret Origin 


No, that’s not a typo. Vibe stars in his own ongoing monthly title, starting with this debut issue cowritten by GEOFF JOHNS!


One of the most unlikely members of the Justice League of America ever (okay, THE most unlikely) will soon discover he’s one of the most powerful individuals on Earth. But how did Vibe get his abilities? What is the cost to them? And why does the JLA want him on the team so desperately?


Plus: We’ve seen the Red Room and the Black Room, but what is...the Circus?
