DC Comics shared a first look inside Justice League of America #1
The biggest heroes star in a new tale by legendary creator Bryan Hitch who writes and draws JLA: JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #1, with inks by Daniel Henriques, Wade Von Grawbadger, and Andrew Currie.
Issue #1 starts with “The League receiving mysterious invitations to meet at a local power plant. After some speculation they soon realize it’s a trap pinning them up against a classic foe. Then The League comes up against an armada of aliens heading for Earth that claims to be a peaceful religious tribe. But something sinister is lurking in their ranks…something with ties to ancient Krypton.”
This is a huge month for DC with major relaunches including new looks for Superman and Wonder Woman and someone else in a new Batsuit.

Earlier this month at Fan Expo Vancouver I interviewed David Finch. With such an eclectic roster, I asked Finch which members of Justice League of America were his favorites to draw so far. His answer included a surprise and what could be an ominous tease for the team’s youngest member:
Trinity of Sin is a huge crossover that’s been in the works since The New 52 reboot. It’s almost the second anniversary of DC Comics The New 52 relaunch which was controversial but successful. I asked Finch what it was Continue reading JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA’s David Finch
Fan favorite artist David Finch appeared at Fan Expo Vancouver this past weekend. There were huge lines for Finch as fans eagerly waited for a chance to have the acclaimed creator sign their books, get sketches and talk with him about his stellar career. Finch is now a DC Comics exclusive artist (Batman: The Dark Knight, Justice League of America) after amazing runs at Top Cow (Cyberforce) and Marvel Comics (New Avengers, Ultimate X-Men, Ultimatum, Moon Knight.)
Finch joined legendary Iron Man artist and X-O Manowar co-creator Bob Layton and Ultimate Comics X-Men, Incredible Hulk cover artist Kaare Andrews for an engaging sketch duel panel. The three creators gave fans a choice: they spend the entire session working on one sketch each or a rapid fire 5 minutes per sketch. The sketch duel ends with lucky fans leaving with the sketches so the crowd unanimously voted for the chance at 15 fans receiving 15 sketches over three fans getting three sketches.
The battle began with requests for Catwoman, Hulk, Spider-Man, Wolverine and finally Captain America while the creators shared career insights and answered fan questions in a revealing and hilarious session.

After enjoying the panel I got the opportunity to talk one on one with Finch back at his table. I did have to wait my turn. As you can see above this young fan was extremely chatty and excited as she watched Finch create a sketch just for her.

After a great run on Batman: The Dark Knight which he co-wrote with Paul Jenkins, Finch is now drawing a new Justice League of America written by Geoff Johns. The eclectic cast includes Catwoman, Katana, Stargirl, Green Arrow, Hawkman, Martian Manhunter, Vibe and the new Green Lantern Simon Baz. I asked Finch which members of the team were his favorites so far. His answer included a surprise and a tease for a dramatic event planned for the youngest hero on the roster:
The new Justice League of America are hailed as America’s Most Dangerous! Amanda Waller and Steve Trevor have created a super team with a hidden agenda. The roster includes the new Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Hawkman, Katana, Stargirl, Vibe and Catwoman? I won’t spoil the secret behind why this form has been formed.
