DC's Justice League's to receive a shake up in April 2014

After Marvel stole the show earlier this week with the announcement of the return of Peter Parker to Amazing Spider-Man in April DC have finally started announcing more titles to be coming in April and the post Forever Evil agenda.

Reminiscent of when Norman Osborn saved the day and became the leader of the Avengers team in Dark Reign. Post Forever Evil in the DC Universe will see Lex Luthor lead the team, enrolling another former villain to the team in Captain Cold. I haven't been reading Forever Evil myself, lack of time and money, but I have heard mixed responses. This does seem like an exciting  move for the team, and the new line up lead by Lex Luthor is missing two vital for Justice members in Superman and Wonder Woman. I will be keeping a close eye on how this new status quo plays out, I just hope it can be as exciting as the Osborn lead Dark Avengers was post Secret Invasion for Marvel.


Previously the next Justice League title post Forever Evil was to be Justice League Canada. It turns out this will now be called Justice League United, still written by Jeff Lemire as originally revealed and drawn by Mike McKone. The team in this one is another interesting mix, still containing several members of the Justice League of America line-up but with the additions of Animal Man, Supergirl and Adam Strange plus the tease of further new characters. The team will still be based in and around Canada but also be making the leap to some universal heroics.
