Villains Month is here!

 

It’s the second anniversary of The New 52 and  DC Comics is celebrating the bad guys by letting them take over the hero books.  They even get the 3-D cover treatment.

 

Here’s a look at the Justice League title taken over by DC’s baddest of the bad and the villain behind the first big Justice League story of The New 52:

 

JUSTICE LEAGUE #23.1: DARKSEID
by Greg Pak and Paulo Siqueria with a 3-D motion cover by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado.

 

“For Darkseid, Lord of Apokolips, you conform or die. Now born into his realm is an anomaly who looks to challenge that. A trickster, who will go to any length to survive even if it means sacrificing worlds to do it—leading to an Earth shattering confrontation between The Man of Steel and a Dark Lord.”

 

A big question – will this Darkseid issue tie into Pak’s current storyline in Batman/Superman?

 

If you remember the shocking first issue of The New 52: Earth 2, you remember Darkseid’s connection to the birth of that world’s Justice Society.

 

One thing is for sure – Jack Kirby’s great creation is not going to stand by and let the Crime Syndicate take what’s his. I expect the Lord of Apokolips to have a decisive role in Forever Evil. Stay tuned!
