In a world with few super-heroes, President Obama needs to call for civilian action to help prevent the war looming between the Atlanteans and the Amazons. Who answers the call?

Head on over to USA TODAY to view an exclusive preview of the issue, which goes on sale Wednesday, as well as hear Berganza’s thoughts on President Obama, the new Element Woman, the Batsons, and juice boxes.
