Justice League International Annual #1 Announcement


"...JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL #1, written by Geoff Johns and Dan DiDio on their debut collaboration.

“This is the final fate of this incarnation of the Justice League International,” DiDio teased to THE SOURCE. “There will be also be a big showdown of events that played out in the final issues of O.M.A.C. The ramifications of this will be felt across the board and will lead directly into a major event spanning across all the Justice League group titles later this year.”

Illustrated by Jason Fabok, JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL #1 will tie into the shocking events of JUSTICE LEAGUE #12. Guest-starring Blue Beetle, this special 48-page issue will be available in stores on August 29th."

So...explain to me why it is that Geoff Johns and Dan Didio are doing Justice League International's annual? Not, I don't know...Dan Jurgens!? I mean at least we'll see Blue Beetle, but come on!! I mean I get that Dan Didio's book (OMAC) just got cancelled to make way for better books like Earth-2 and Worlds' Finest, but that doesn't mean he gets to take over the Annual for an already-great book. He just needs to quit. Byebye, Didio. And how the fuck is Justice League International's Annual tied into Justice League #12. What? Ugh. I might get it. Depends on how Justice League #12 is, which apparently is important to the entire DC Universe. Wow. I'm tired of crossovers, honestly. Night of the Owls and the Culling are both good thusfar, but I'm not a huge fan of this whole crossover business.
