DC Comics has announced that its greatest heroes are set to meet their end as writer Joshua Williamson (Batman) and artist Rafa Sandoval (The Flash) kick off the publisher’s next big event, Death of the Justice League, in the pages of Justice League #75 this April.
“We’ve been building to the Death of the Justice League for the last year across the main line,” said Williamson. “I remember buying Death of Superman 30 years ago and now we have an opportunity to take that idea and go bigger with it. Justice League #75 allows us to showcase why the Justice League are comics’ greatest heroes as we show the aftermath of the loss against their biggest threat ever and its impact on the DCU.”
“Being able to draw the Justice League is always exciting, they are just the greatest superhero team of all time,” added Sandoval. “We will see a great evil coming out of the darkness and more dark characters that will be revealed very soon. This book is just the starting point and fans do not want to be left behind and miss what is going to happen.”
A new Dark Army made up of the DCU’s greatest villains has formed on the edges of the Multiverse and the best and most powerful heroes are pulled together in an epic war to push the darkness back. In the end, the Justice League are killed by the Dark Army with only one survivor to warn the remaining heroes of Earth about what is coming for them!
Justice League #75 is set for release on April 19th.
