they're a bunch of super people who don't take any sh!t... if someone threatens to blow something up, they stop him, then cut the guys head off (or smash it in, implode it, melt it... whatever)
oh yeah... they got sick of politicians getting away with everything, starting wars over oil, polluting third world countries... the general stuff politicians do... so they overthrew the US government and warned every other government that they'll be keeping a close eye on all of them

they're basically like a seriously pissed off Justice League
^ what Scoob said.
Their series starts with a block called "Relentless" that collects issues 1-6. I actually picked it up in the middle (the first arc I read was in volume 2) but that's the best place to start. They don't have a ton of stuff out (maybe 40-60 comics total right now) so it's not terribly hard to catch up.
But they kick major ass....it's what the JLA should be, and what good comic writing should be (for the most part...it ebbs and flows in quality like any series).
