DC Comics has struggled for years now to stay afloat. After a lackluster series of films and laying off all the talent that made them successful, DC sought to bring in Brian Michael Bendis who failed to move sales like they thought. Then they were flooded with a tsunami of woke writers who became more concerned with activism than telling memorable stories.
No the company is sinking to a new low to sell comics. They have in the past had major sales for killing off Batman or Superman, but now DC is set to kill off the entire Justice League.
Per Entertainment Weekly:
The current Justice League comic will come to an end with issue #75 (recognize that number?), a story that will see DC’s greatest superheroes killed in battle against an unstoppable enemy. Yes, really — the Justice League is going to die.
“It’s very serious,” writer Joshua Williamson tells EW. “It’s an interesting opportunity to do this on the 30th anniversary of ‘The Death of Superman,’ which happened in Superman #75. We get to take Justice League #75 and do ‘Death of the Justice League.’ We want people to understand, this is serious and this is gonna have a major impact in the DCU moving forward.”
Williamson continues, “I remember the experience of reading the build-up to ‘The Death of Superman’ and then waiting in the rain for my copy of issue #75. I think one reason that story was so powerful was that after the ‘Funeral for a Friend’ story, there were no Superman comics for three months. That’s part of what led us to make the decision that this is the last issue of Justice League. But then three months later, there’s still not gonna be a Justice League comic. It’s gonna be a while, and that’s gonna be a major part of what the DCU looks like after this story: There is no Justice League.”
“Ever since Infinite Frontier #0, we’ve been building to this story,” Williamson says. “Last year was a lot of fun and games, but when this story starts, it’s the beginning of the third act. We’re going to see things get darkest before the dawn. The Justice League gets called in to fight this Dark Army that’s been building on the edge of the multiverse. They go up against this Dark Army and they lose.”
“We’ll get to see what the ramifications are of losing the Justice League,” Williamson says. “You’ll get to see how the new heroes react, how some of the heroes that have been around for a while react, you’ll see how people on the ground react to this idea of the Justice League dying, and then you’ll get to see how all the villains react. What happens when they know the Justice League is gone?”
In and of itself, Justice League #75 will focus on the apocalyptic battle between the Justice League and the Dark Army in a dead multiverse. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern (John Stewart), Martian Manhunter, Hawkgirl, Aquaman, Green Arrow, Black Canary, and Zatanna will embark on this mission — and only one will return to tell the rest of the universe what has happened.
Justice League #75 hits comic stores on April 19. Below, check out a host of variant covers.
The future of the DC Universe will now fall to younger woke heroes who have been slowly introduced over the past few years.
Is this how DC Comics dies? I guess we will have to wait and see.
