The Justice League of America is back in 2017.
DC Comics revealed the first four members of the new team: The Atom, Vixen, The Ray and Killer Frost. Rising star writer Steve Orlando (Midnighter, Supergirl, Night of the Monster Men show runner) and Ivan Reis will be the creative team on the ongoing book.
