Bryan Hitch's Variant Covers for JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #1 Revealed

JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #1 hits stores on June 17th featuring Bryan Hitch as the artist and writer for the book. To celebrate the new book, Bryan Hitch is doing 7 variant covers for the first issue, which is double-sized, which are all connecting showing one gigantic battle scene. There's also a seven-panel foldout variant cover as well.

Check out all the individual covers, featuring individual shots of Batman, Flash, Aquaman, Superman, Green Lantern, Cyborg, and Wonder Woman, which are a bit larger, and get ready for JLA's release on June 17th.

Phew!

Awesome, I am looking forward to this and is it me or does Aquaman look like Chris Hemsworth?

I don't like it either. And I don't understand why this book is a thing.

Remember what they said about poses...? Well, nor Aquaman and Sup have some. xD

I am not a fan of Hitch's art, the pose Batman has in the cover is ridiculous

Remember when Byran Hitch was a good artist when he drew The Authority? Pepperidge Farm remembers...

I'm really looking forward to this book. It's probably what I am most excited about coming in June. I've been waiting for a Justice League book that simply focuses on good stories. Not that I don't enjoy Geoff Johns' Justice League or even Hickman's Avengers, I love them both, but everything seems way too connected on them. This is something, at least from what we've seen so far, that I can just read whenever I feel like it, without having to go 40 chapters back. A truly awesome breeze of fresh air on DC's monthly lineup. Can't wait for the first issue.

Cool

@sog7dc: The Authority is Stormwatch right?

Well...that's...kinda weird? Hitch is very hit and miss for me. This is a miss

@lxlgiftedlxl: Yes and no. After a series of events so interesting I won't spoil them for you, Stormwatch, for lack of a better word, evolved into the Authority.

Not a huge fan of the Supes, Aquaman, or Batman poses, but the rest look cool.

Batman looks awfully happy :P

And who are they fighting?

Drawing is not the best.I hope is writing makes up for that.

Those are some pretty ugly variants.

Hitch is an amazing artist.

I dint like this because I'd rather a group of lesser known characters got a book to gain some popularity.

The way he draws the faces makes them look like serious sex offenders

His work on The Ultimates seems better in my opinion. Doesn't seem like he put as much detail into this one, or maybe it's the ink

One of these does not belong

Wait..wha? Is this canon to current Justice League? Is this the League post-Convergence? ..the Hell?

They really should have just expanded the roster in this book to also include Martian Manhunter.

I love Bryan Hitch but I really feel like something is 'off' about this particular piece.

Hm. This might scratch a bit of that classic "Ultimates" itch in a way that his "Real Heroes" never really could. Fun times.

@shazam117: y wud it not b canon

Colot me excited.

Batman has the same horrible pose that prevented me from buying the Batman #33 75th anniversary variant

@sog7dc: I see thanks for telling me.

Not to disrespect Mr. Hitch but could I respectfully request a trade for Gary Frank to illustrate a Justice League book? Also, is Jason Fabok no longer on a Justice League title? I love his stuff! (especially his Wonder Woman design).

Does anyone know where I can find interviews about this series, besides the IGN one? I just don't get what the point of this series is. According to the IGN interview, the JLA stories are not going to be related to the JL stories and are perhaps just JL adventures. But why introduce another Justice League ongoing? What's the purpose? Two JL stories each month, similar to what they did with Supes and Bats in the 80's to 90's?

@shazam117: It's not connected or very canon.

@originalalchemist: this is a different book from Geoff and Fabok

@superguy1591: @gjgp27: I see, thanks

ANOTHER ISSUE #1?! Why do we keep restarting the counts?!

eh.

I think I'll stick with the near masterful writing of Geoff Johns and the amazing artistry of Jason Fabok. Fabok's art is the reason I stuck with John Layman's so-so run on Detective Comics. For me this June, there is only one Justice League book. And it's got no "America" in the title!

@darknightspideyfanboy: Thank you for the clarification!

So, judging from this, after all is said and done Superman appears to get his powers back, no?

Honestly, why do they bother screwing with a character just for the sake of screwing with it?

Annoying!!

Why is Batman smiling?

looks cool...

this seems odd to me because the main justice league in new 52 is not called the justice league of America, it is just called the justice league...

Agreed. Not to mention Superman's personality makeover. At least, we get to see old Supes back and his powers. They'll have to explain how it happened.

Hitch is capable of doing some great covers, but these aren't appealing to me at all.

These are...just...so bad... Plus from what we've been seeing, none of these costumes really fit with current continuity, right? Or maybe that's just part of DC's whole new approach to loose continuity. Because comic book fans don't care about that, right?
