DCU gets remade - all books are #1s, Geoff Johns and Jim Lee on Justice League, more

Started by Golgo13367 pages

BTW, both the JLA and Forever Evil comes out next week.

yeah, and they better be good.

They will be. FE and JL consistently deliver.

So FE and JL were good, but they focused primarily on storytelling. On that note, Batman has some impressive anti-JL tech in the Cave:

Oh and

Spoiler:
Power Ring and Sinestrallax did NOT fight in JL #26, despite the cover art suggesting otherwise.

Any new theories on who the mysterious man is? Someone said, "soon" to him in JL.

Also, I like Dr. Light's new look. Hopefully he joins the JL again.

Seems Geoff Johns or someone will write a Luthor/Injustice League series in 2014. Hopefully this is true. Would LOVE to see it.

Supposedly we'll find out his identity in FE #6:

Just a couple of thoughts:

1. I don't think this "alien" is Darkseid. It's too obvious and Geoff likes surprises.

2. Plus Johns doesn't like to use New Gods in general.

3. One more thing, I don't think it would make sense to throw that hooded man at Darkseid. What does the hooded man have in relation to Darkseid, anyway? In the stuff we have read about Darkseid in the DCnU, he doesn't seem to have any of those types of weaknesses.

1.) Maybe not, but as of now all signs point to Darkseid.
-We know whoever laid waste to Earth/Krypton 3 is male, as Ultraman referred to the being as "him".
-We know Darkseid has already conquered many-a-earth across the omniverse, and kills every Superman-esque being he encounters
-We know whoever conquered Earth 3 uses a Boom Tube.

2.) Meh, he's already used Darkseid in the DCnU.

3.) We have to first find out who the hooded man is, before we can figure out how he can be of use.

Interesting article on what is/might be coming in April.

http://www.newsarama.com/19904-what-s-comics-at-dc-in-april-2014.html

When Johns spoke to Newsarama about the end of Forever Evil and the ramifications of the event, he added, "Keep your eyes on Lex. He’s the one to watch." It's no secret that Johns enjoys writing Lex Luthor, as evidenced by his feature role in several of the writer's comics, whether he's wearing an orange power ring, his green-and-purple armor, or a LexCorp business suit.

There's also the possibility that another Luthor might show up in Forever Evil, since there's a strong possibility that an Earth 3 version of him is the mysterious hooded prisoner. As we reported a few months ago, some former Crime Syndicate of America stories included "Alexander" Luthor — the Earth 3 version of Lex Luthor. The inclusion of him (or his son) in Forever Evil would pay homage to past DC stories, and it's always possible the visitor-from-another-earth could stick around in April.

Lol, I like how DC resurrects Sea King just to have him be little more than another speed bump in the JLD's path. Don't get me wrong, SK proved that he is immensely powerful(all the ancient magics of Nan Madol are now infused within him), but they really shouldn't have pitted him against a team as haxxed as the JLD in his very first appearance.

Anyway, JLD, Talon, ARGUS, and Superman Unchained were all really good.

[edit]
Heck, even the Larfleeze issue wasn't half bad this month. mhmm

Is Sea King going to join JLD?

Yes.

However, Constantine locked Deadman's essence within Sea King's body(yet another hugely impressive feat for Johnny.) So it is basically Deadman's consciousness/spirit, with the added perks that come with Sea King's body:

Note that John made sure to erase all remaining traces of SK's original consciousness prior to imprisoning Deadman within his body-- so the chances of us ever seeing the evil version of SK surface again are slim to none.

Whelp, Forever Evil ARGUS stole the show again. I wouldn't mind an ARGUS ongoing after this.

I didn't even think of that for some reason, but now that it's out in the open, it almost 100 percent has to be Alex

I will be severely shocked if it's not now.

Same. I'll also be shocked if he isn't the real father of Superwoman's unborn child.
