Justice League of America #1 by Geoff Johns and David Finch arrives this week.
Steve Trevor, Green Arrow, Catwoman, Katana, Hawkman, Stargirl, Martian Manhunter, Vibe and Green Lantern (Simon Baz) form a powerful alliance of unlikely heroes in the fight against a new Secret Society of Super Villains!
The first arc will be called World’s Most Dangerous and hailed Martian Manhunter as the most dangerous of all. Vibe will become one of the most powerful heroes in The New 52! Yes, you read right. Vibe is back!
Geoff Johns will co-write (with Andrew Kreisberg and Pete Woods on art) a new Justice League of America: Vibe #1. How will Johns and company reboot the Justice League Detroit era character into one of the most powerful and important heroes of the New 52?
“We’ve made him a really grounded person and a very realistic person,” Kreisberg explained to IGN about the series’ protagonist. “In some ways, there’s sort of a wish fulfillment for comic book fans because he’s a teenage kid that’s suddenly given superpowers and suddenly he’s in the Justice League of America working alongside the heroes that he, as a kid, had worshipped. In some ways, he’s teenage me or teenage you, and suddenly he gets to be with the Justice League. And he reacts in what we hope is a very realistic way. He has a lot of questions and he’s got a lot of fears. The DC Universe is populated with a lot of god-like characters like Superman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, and a lot of inscrutable characters like Batman. What was most exciting for us was the opportunity to create almost a real person who gets thrust into this world that the audience can really relate to and that we can really dig into as a person.”
“One of the smartest things Geoff said early on was, ‘It’s really important we come up with a franchise for him, and it can’t just be that he has powers,”’ Kreisberg continued with NEWSARAMA.
“So we hit upon the idea that, since the Darkseid invasion began in Detroit, this is where the membrane is weakest between the dimensions, because this is where they punched through. And this left a crack in the fabric of reality between all the dimensions of all the Earths. Things kind of fall through, and people sneak through, and if there’s going to be another invasion, this is where it will begin. Since Cisco draws his powers from the energy of these vibrational cracks, he’s also able to sense these incursions. He knows when things are here that shouldn’t be, or when things come through. And he says, with some irony, that he’s essentially become an inter-dimensional border cop. I think that gives a strong franchise to the book. He’s here to clean up Detroit from these incursions, but the people he’s working for — Amanda Waller and A.R.G.U.S. — don’t always, necessarily, have his best interest at heart, or the best interest of some of the innocent people who come through. So it’s going to lead to a lot of interesting conflicts.”
