Justice League #11

If you were wondering who the strongest member of the New 52 version of the Justice League is this issue will answer your question. And, no, it turns out it's not Superman. Wonder Woman basically takes down all her teammates on live television... when they offer to help her save Steve Trevor? Yeah, it didn't make a lot of sense to me either, but then logic hasn't been the New 52's strong suit.

After surviving the attack from David Graves the team learns that Steve has been taken and the one-time scribe of their adventures turned crazed super-villain is now targeting Trevor's sister (who, it turns out, is far from Diana's biggest fan). The team finally gets their act together to follow Terminus' trail to Mount Sumeru and the Valley of Souls, but it may already be too late for Steve.

Although we're presented with a reason for Graves' behavior the logic is more than a little hard to follow. But hey, if you've ever wanted to see Wonder Woman beat the shit out of Hal Jordan this is your comic.

The Shazam back-up story continues as the teenage brat version of Billy Batson finally finds himself on the most important subway ride of his life and Dr. Sivana tries to make a deal with the recently released Black Adam. Hit-and-Miss.
