The Justice League run of books have been consistently good reads. Not only have they been fun and action packed, each panel is beautiful to look at. In short, the creative team of Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok have been hitting out of the park. The Amazo Virus story just wrapped in Justice League #39 and a lot is happening. New villains and a lot of new meta-humans are all over the country. With Convergence just a month away Johns and Arbok are getting ready for their next big event, Darkseid War.

Both Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok spoke to Newsarama about what will be happening with the league and the coming “Darkseid War.”
Johns: Well, we kick off the “Darkseid War” with Free Comic Book Day and the 8-pager in that. And that is our fuse that lights the bomb that is Justice League #41. That’s a 40-page issue that’s the first part of the “Darkseid War” event. We’re continuing the same lineup that we’ve been using. There are a couple other characters that are going to be showing up as well. “Darkseid War” is a major shift in the status quo. But it’s also a battle between the two biggest, most powerful villains in the DC Universe: The Anti-Monitor and Darkseid. You’ve never seen that before, and the Justice League is caught in the middle.
Fabok: It is the most mind-bendingly awesome, sweet geek-out thing you could possibly think of. Yeah, we’re going to be adding Mr. Miracle to the team, which ties in with the whole “Darkseid War” theme. Mr. Miracle is one of those characters I’ve always wanted to draw, to work on. I couldn’t have risen to this opportunity maybe a year ago. But I’ve learned a lot about discipline and the craft. This is the hardest I’ve ever worked, the longest hours I’ve ever worked. It’s a seven days a week kind of thing. But it’s also been the most rewarding thing and fun thing I’ve ever done in my career.
If you aren’t caught up on Justice League I suggest you get on that. It is by far one of the best books on the shelves right now. When Darkseid and the Justice League are facing off it is always spectacular. With the add of the Anti-Monitor to the mix this is going to be something that, as Geoff Johns put it, “hasn’t been explored before.”
