Plot Summary: "The Vagabond King"

Following a mission they believed had successfully returned Starro to his home planet, the Justice League Europe (JLE) returns to their London embassy only to find a horrifying reality. 

• London Under Siege: Starro has used the team to gain access to Earth and has now possessed the citizens of London, including the JLE's own staff and loved ones.
• Survivors on the Run: Most of the JLE members are captured or enslaved by the alien's spores. Only Captain Atom, Metamorpho, and Rocket Red manage to escape the initial takeover.
• Reinforcements: The three remaining members fly to New York to seek help from the Justice League America (JLA). They recruit Martian Manhunter, whose telepathic and shapeshifting abilities are crucial for a plan to return to London and locate the "central" Starro controlling the hive mind.
