Meet the lineup of DC’s biggest super team and the two star artists joining writer Scott Snyder for a new JUSTICE LEAGUE era.
DC Entertainment announced artists Jim Cheung and Jorge Jiménez will join writer Scott Snyder (DARK NIGHTS: METAL) in launching DC’s flagship JUSTICE LEAGUE title in June.
Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash will be joined by Hawkgirl, Green Lantern John Stewart and Martian Manhunter.
JUSTICE LEAGUE #1 follows the events of DC NATION #0 and JUSTICE LEAGUE: NO JUSTICE. The Justice League is launched into “a mystery that will draw out their most terrible foes…in ways our heroes couldn’t possibly imagine! In this debut issue, Martian Manhunter struggles to protect the team from an incoming threat that will shatter the world as they know it, while a familiar face strikes out on a dark path…”
The new book will ship biweekly. In JUSTICE LEAGUE #2 on June 20 by Snyder and Jiménez, “the League is faced with an impossible decision…and now they must face the consequences! While Martian Manhunter and Batman attempt to recruit an old ally back into the fold, The Flash and Hawkgirl are blindsided by new challenges that could rewrite their mythologies!”
The new book marks a big move for Cheung, a Marvel mainstay. Jiménez won acclaim for his art SUPER SONS and SUPERMAN. For Snyder, this continues his epic DC run from BATMAN to DARK NIGHTS METAL then NO JUSTICE and now DC’s biggest team book starring the icons.
“Justice League has been the golden ring for me since I came to DC,” says Snyder. “The story I have planned is something I’ve been building towards through DARK NIGHTS: METAL and I can’t wait to tell it in the biggest way possible. And to have mega star Jim Cheung as one partner, and rising superstar Jorge Jimenez as my other partner, I’m just thrilled to get to work!”
DC NATION #0 (on sale May 2) and JUSTICE LEAGUE: NO JUSTICE (on sale weekly from May 9 through 30)
JUSTICE LEAGUE #1 arrives in stores June 6, followed by JUSTICE LEAGUE #2 on June 20. There will also be variant covers by Jim Lee and Scott Williams.
