Jason Fabok Becomes new Artist for JUSTICE LEAGUE

He comes on board in November.

Today DC announced that JUSTICE LEAGUE is getting a new artist. Beginning in November's issue #36, Jason Fabok (BATMAN ETERNAL) is taking over and becoming the regular ongoing artist.

Fabok replaces Ivan Reis and Joe Prado.

“I’ve always dreamed of drawing Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Flash, Lex Luthor, Aquaman and the myriad of super-villains that comprise the Justice League books," says Fabok. “I’m so thankful for this opportunity and hope that fans will look forward to what we have in store!”

is Jay Fabok the same as Jason Fabok? Or is that someone else. If it is someone else, man their names are similar.

The artwork looks great.

But... does that mean Jason Fabok is leaving Batman Eternal? That would be a bummer : /

Hey, Power Ring. Red X called and he wants his costume design back!

That's... a pretty huge stretch, to be honest.

Power Ring:You can have it when you actually exist in the comics.

Ooh, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuurn!

Why is everyone talking about the lineup as if it's novel? Hasn't this been the status quo for months now?

Dude, since when do comicbooks still even have a status quo? (last I checked, not since Infinite Crisis at the latest)

Pretty sure mainstream comics as a medium is renowned for having a status quo. You really haven't heard someone say something like "this change won't last very long, soon enough they'll restore the status quo" Examples: Superman and Spider Man get de-married, Bruce Wayne becomes Batman again, Steve Rogers becomes Captain America again, Peter Parker gets control of his body again, Clint Barton stops being Ronin and becomes Hawkeye again. And I can go for hours.

Anyway, I was talking about the "current" or "temporary" status of the JL lineup. Which is bound to be reversed within a couple of years, mind you. But my point that this roster has existed for months is no less true regardless of semantics.

Fair enough, I guess

@entropy_aegis: Yeah got to admit that Darkseid first appearance in JL New 52 is not the best but not the worst either. but hey better than Thanos that using cheesy Thanoscopter in the 1960's. The best Darkseid imo is in Bruce Timm Dc Animated Universe,

It seems to me that Johns is going to be on this title for a long time, whatwith rumors that there's going to be an arc about Orm, Nereus, and the seven kingdoms of Atlantis, and also that Hal is going to rejoin the team. It seems like the current storyline is far from over so I'm assuming that will wrap up before any of the others.

Let's not debate whether or not Johns' JL is "good." But I think we can all agree that it pales in comparison to many of his past works..

@mightus: agreed! They've made changes from the PC era, but they've created fantastic stories that have made the characters interesting.

You've got to give them credit; the way that they've turned the N52 around is amazing. You used to only be able to read one Superman book, now you want to read all of them.

I am really digging this art for JL. New 52 is definetlyy proving that they have changed things up in a really interesting way. Just look at this new JL team! Who would've imagine Luther and captain cold? Also a female replacement for GL is a great idea cause the team is really lacking more female heroes.

NICE!!! I like the idea of taking Luthor in a different direction. I actually want him to be a cross between Stark and Fury. He'd be on the League, but have his hands in Suicide Squad missions with Waller, and would run Checkmate. He'd be the Batman, back up.

@squalleon: No cross overs for the Superman book, remember? He's Azz'ing Superman for a long time to tell his story. All cross overs come from Pak's Action and Tomasi's SM/WW.

@matchesmalone21:

Blue beetle teleported back to earth iirc.

Birds of prey broke up.

Hawkgirl also exists in main earth.

You're right about one thing. Jaime Reyes was supposedly sent back to Earth in the final issue of Threshold. Though as far as I know, he hasn't appeared since.

But the other guy is right about Hawkgirl. The only character called Hawkgirl in the New 52 is the Earth 2 one. On that Earth, there is no Hawkman, and on Earth 0 there is no Hawkgirl. There was a character called Ladyhawk briefly in the Savage Hawkman series who was Shayera Thal, a name that once belonged to Hawkgirl pre-Crisis. She later sacrificed her life. But there is no Earth 0 Hawkgirl in the New 52.

Having Superman, Wonder Woman and Shazam on the same team seems like overkill.

That's like the Avengers having Thor, Cap Marvel and Wonder Man. LOL!

Looking frwd to it though!

I have to say since Throne of Atlantis and onwards this book really got better.

The Forever Evil tie ins were great, giving us insight and doing world-building for the general DCU. The Metal Men origin was plain gorgeous from all perspectives and now Luthor brings a new dynamic on the team.

I am actually surprised Superman is still a member since Johns said he will quit. But this cover tells as otherwise...mmm maybe now that he is writing Superman he wants him in the League for future crossovers, who knows? Still I think JL is in another league since when Jim Lee was doing the art.

I have to agree. When he's not world building, Johns knows how to captivate.

@matchesmalone21: Hawkgirl can also appear in JL United series because it is involves around Rann-Thanagar conflicts

She sacrified herself to save Hawkman form Corsal Thar......that's because I said that. Also WTH everyone New 52 become a comics version of Justice League cartoons?
