The biggest vs the baddest!

After the massive DC Rebirth launch, how does DC Comics follow it up?

Justice League vs. Suicide Squad.

DC Entertainment announced its first major event of Rebirth: the Justice League versus the Suicide Squad. The two-month event will pit DC’s two big super-teams against each other in a six-issue weekly miniseries.

It begins with a special prelude in SUICIDE SQUAD #8, and with issues of SUICIDE SQUAD (#9 and #10) and JUSTICE LEAGUE (#12 and #13) serving as tie-ins during January.

The prelude issue sets the stage for issues #1 and #2 of JUSTICE LEAGUE VS. SUICIDE SQUAD, written by Joshua Williamson (THE FLASH, Vertigo’s FROSTBITE) with art by Jason Fabok (JUSTICE LEAGUE: DARKSEID WAR) and Tony S. Daniel (JUSTICE LEAGUE, DEATHSTROKE). Issues #3 through #6 debut weekly throughout January, along with the special tie-in issues of SUICIDE SQUAD written by Rob Williams and JUSTICE LEAGUE by guest writer Tim Seeley (NIGHTWING, GRAYSON).
