Justice League (2016) Storylines

 * The Extinction Machines (issues #1-5): A force named the Kindred creates four titans out of humans, including Wonder Woman, to complete the 'Great Awakening'. To stop the ritual, insectoid bioweapons are sent from deep space to kill humans before they are absorbed into the Kindred. Also, 'extinction machines' below the surface threaten to blow the planet apart to prevent the Awakening; Superman goes into the Earth's crust to destroy them, aided by Aquaman's magic Atlantean crystals. Cyborg manages to stop the bioweapons by hacking into them. The Kindred siphon the powers of the Flash and both Lanterns, and manage to complete their ritual, but are separated by the last extinction machine. Afterwards, Batman speculates on what has awoken.
 * State of Fear (#6-7): After repelling a fear-inducing creature, Jessica and Barry go on a date. However, the creature has infected the team through Jessica's ring, causing them to panic and make a scene. Similarly, Superman is fed up with Batman's suspicion, and resolves to kill him, while Batman's guilt is magnified to suicidal proportions. Meanwhile, Simon and Cyborg are plagued by self-doubt during a football match, and Aquaman declares war on the world with Wonder Woman at his side. Jessica successfully destroys the creature before further carnage, but leaves the League.
