Jump to: Post-Crisis – New 52 – Rebirth – Universe

Post-Crisis

Technically, Justice Incarnate does not appear in this era. However, the Final Crisis event introduces many ideas and concepts that help form the core behind Justice Incarnate’s early appearances. Readers can choose to skip these issues but reading them will help make Multiversity easier to understand.

New 52

Justice Incarnate is introduced toward the end of the Post-Crisis era in DC history.

Justice Incarnate appears in the main issues of the Multiversity event. These issues showcase the group's formation and explain its role in the greater DC Multiverse.

Rebirth

The transition from the New 52 to the Rebirth era does not appear to have created any continuity changes for Justice Incarnate. Instead, the team's story essentially picks up right where it left off.

Justice Incarnate reappears in the Superman series. There the team plays a key role in a story arc about a Multiversal threat. 

Superman issues are from the Vol. 4 series

Universe

The Universe era is essentially an extension of the Rebirth era, as it maintains the same continuity. As such, Justice Incarnate's overall narrative continues with no noticeable changes.

In this era, Justice Incarnate makes an appearance in the Dark Nights: Death Metal event. They do not play a major role in this event, as it primarily focuses on Wonder Woman (Reading Order), Batman (Reading Order), and Superman (Reading Order). However, they have a moderately-sized role in one of the tie-in issues. The main event also serves to set up some of Justice Incarnate's role in the next era.

Notes

1. This issue only briefly shows Justice Incarnate. However, it helps show their continued involvement in Multiversal activities and preludes their involvement in the Dark Nights: Death Metal event.
2. Justice Incarnate only appears in this issue through a single-panel flash-forward. This simply helps tease their larger role in the next era.
