“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.”
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!
“Being able to draw the Justice League is always exciting, they are just the greatest superhero team of all time,” said 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.”
Variant cover by Dan Jurgens and Norm Rapmund
In addition to the main special acetate cover featuring artwork by Daniel Sampere and Alejandro Sanchez, Justice League #75 will feature an extensive variant cover program to celebrate the final issue of the series. Some of the top names in comics, including Alex Maleev, Dan Jurgens & Norm Rapmund, Mikel Janin, Tony Harris and more, have contributed variant covers.
“After working with Rafa on The Flash and seeing the amazing work he did on Hal Jordan and The Green Lantern Corp, I knew that he excels at big cosmic battles while also finding those emotional moments between the characters,” said Williamson.
“I was lucky to work with Josh on The Flash and it was one of the most fun times of my career,” added Sandoval. “He has always given me freedom to work and does not set boundaries to my creativity. When I draw Josh’s scripts, I always get reminded of why I wanted to become a comic book artist years ago.”
The supersized 48-page issue will be available at local comic book shops and participating digital retailers on April 19.
