Justice League: Futures End #1, released by DC Comics on September 17, 2014, is a self-contained one-shot story that takes place five years into a potential, bleak future for the DC Universe. It was part of the month-long "The New 52: Futures End" event, famous for its 3D lenticular cover. 

Storyline Overview: "Homeworld"

The narrative is a grim look at a future where the Justice League has constructed a massive prison complex on Mars to hold super-powered individuals. 

• The Catalyst: The story focuses on Captain Atom, who, in the mainstream continuity, was believed to have caused a massive disaster that killed millions. In this future timeline, he breaks free from the Martian prison.
• The Conflict: The remaining Justice League members, including Cyborg and The Flash, attempt to stop the rampage. Captain Atom's goal is not escape but self-destruction; he intends to disperse his energy to destroy the protective force field around Mars.
• The Resolution: The young hero Equinox distracts Captain Atom, allowing Martian Manhunter to mentally subdue him by restoring his memories of his human life. Captain Atom is rendered unconscious and peaceful.
• The Twist Ending: The surprising conclusion reveals Martian Manhunter's secret, decades-long plan for global domination, which is finally coming to fruition through his manipulation of the situation.
