Of course, this month will feature a Justice League Futures End #1 coming our way with a 3D cover no less, so there will be a little bit of a break before we get back to the “regular” storytelling. BOTTOM LINE: A Great Wrap-Up to the Pre-Futures End League I have to say that I did like the early part of the book with the DP against the League, so it did get off to a great start. Mahnke also does a great job with the Dark Knight, and the aforementioned sequence with Batman and Ms. I’m looking forward to his take on the other heroes since I’ve been really impressed by his work on Batman. We’ve learned recently that there’s a new artist coming to Justice League, and that’s Jason Fabok, formerly from Detective Comics.

(I always did like the Anti-Monitor, who is getting up there in evilness to a level only occupied by Darkseid in DC previously.Īs great as it is to see the Doom Patrol in this issue, they don’t really get a lot of time in the spotlight, so I’m hoping we’ll see more of them again in the near future. I’m going to be intrigued to see where the character and the ring go from here because once again there’s an indication that the Anti-Monitor is on the way to destroy this universe as he did to the Syndicate’s galaxy. Batman talks with Jessica about just what’s going on and gets her to face her fears in a very moving and powerful way. This ring from the Crime Syndicate’s universe resembles the Yellow Rings here in that it uses the person’s fear to draw energy from. The best part of the entire book focuses on Batman discussing fear with Jessica Cruz, someone from “our” Earth chosen by Power Ring’s, well, power ring to use as a human conduit. Makes me wonder how long the Man of Steel will stick around while Lex steals the limelight. I have to wonder if Batman’s thinking straight since Luthor discovered his secret identity, quite an accomplishment considering that the bald guy has yet to solve who else Superman lives as. There’s an important part of the book in which the “big three,” Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, all discuss making this reality. In this issue, the League takes the plunge and makes Luthor a member, although there are good reasons NOT to do that.

Of course, he sees himself as the hero of the piece, and that’s also attractive to storytellers.

He’s full of shades of gray, and that draws some folks to him because one can never be completely sure what he’s going to do next. But are his sights really set on the Dark Knight? And are the Dark Knight’s set on him? Plus, someone else is targeting Luthor and his new allies – a man who believes he is Luthor’s superior in every way … and he may be right! Here comes The Chief and his treacherous Doom Patrol to The New 52!” LUTHOR JOINS THE LEAGUEĪ big part of this storyline has been moving Lex Luthor closer to joining the Justice League.Īs I’ve discussed previously, there’s something about Superman’s nemesis that intrigues people like Mr. Previously in JUSTICE LEAGUE: “Lex Luthor continues his acclimation to his life as a one of the world’s greatest heroes as they search for the mysterious power threatening to unravel our world.

You can see it in the banner above as well as in the lower portion of the text below. I have to mention right away that one of the biggest attractions for this issue was the Batman ’75 cover from Darwyn Cooke, a favorite writer/artist of mine.

Justice League continues to be one of the best-selling of DC’s New 52 books, and they’re taking advantage of that by re-introducing teams who have been known in the past, such as the Metal Men. “The shocking conclusion to ‘The Injustice League’ leads to a startling confrontation with the all-new, all-dangerous Doom Patrol! And in the wake of it all, a secret will be revealed that will bond two members forever – and break two members apart.” That’s how this book is described by DC Comics.
