The League rollcall here is Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, and Green Arrow. The team is attacked by bee men.
Insert "Bees, my God" meme here.
This isn't some random attack though. No, the Queen Bee of Planet Korll needs their help. If they refuse she'll blow up the Earth! Seems some time ago a scientist made a formula for immortality. He didn't take it, as he didn't wish to spend eternity as an old man.
No, he split the formula in three parts and the Queen has an idea where they are. The Martian Manhunter tackles a lava monster, Wonder Woman and the Flash fight a plant monster, and Green Lantern and Arrow take down a living glacier.
The team manages to find the vials, but they fuse the containers in such a way they can never be opened. After all, they promised they'd help the Queen find the things. They never said she'd get to use them.
Not a bad yarn but the queen's motivation is a bit thin and her powers are unstoppable unless they aren't.
