DC Reveals Covers for JUSTICE LEAGUE #6

The Justice League has finally united in time to face Darkseid for the first time.

By Tony 'G-Man' Guerrero  |  Feb. 21, 2012

Next week we'll see the final part of the first arc in JUSTICE LEAGUE. The team has now formed. Will their combined might be enough to stop the threat of Darkseid? Probably since this story takes place five years ago in the "New 52."

Despite the issue being released next week, the actually cover hasn't been revealed until now. DC's The Source has given us a look at Jim Lee's cover marking the possible end of the League.

Jim Lee had this to say:

I wanted to create a cover which resonated with what I consider to be the most classic Darkseid story – namely the Great Darkness Saga – so that entailed the Justice League bowing down naturally to the power of Darkseid. Except of course Batman who, despite not having powers, fights with all his strength in defiance.

If that wasn't enough, DC has also revealed the variant cover to JUSTICE LEAGUE #6 by Ivan Reis.

Maybe Batman will find a gun with a radion bullet and use that on Darkseid to beat him again? :P

looks like Bats is bowing but Supes is not to me, I wish they would release the Shazam redesign already

I really have fear for this issue...ending the arc and darkseid in one issue, i can't wait to see what stupid thing they will use.

The Mighty Monarchon Feb. 21, 2012 at 9:29 a.m.

I'm betting they didn't reveal it until now because Jim Lee didn't want Geoff Johns to know he made Batman look superior to Green Lantern.

Let me guess...Cyborg saves the day?

what makes you think that?

@spiderbat87: Just a feeling I'm getting and the fact that Cyborg plays a major role in Justice League: Doom released this week.

This cover is misleading. No being in the universe can force Batman too bow down. I swear, he's going to pull a gun with a radion bullet out of nowhere and shoot Mr. Mean-Bad-Man-With-Red-Eyes in the face.

Going to sell well again I love this comic.

This cover is exactly what make me hate batman sometime, even if he has strong will he couldn't stand if even all the others can't. And obliviously cyborg will save the day becauseof his new apparition and the fact that he is the one witht the america flag (they really should stop with this kind of thing) in others cover.

Kneel before Darkseid!

zombietagon Feb. 21, 2012 at 10:02 a.m.

looks like things are going well for justice league according to this cover!

DATNIGGAon Feb. 21, 2012 at 10:03 a.m.

I thought he had the flag as he was the "made in America guy" he is the representation of the the American industry. If you notice throughout his appearances there are billboards and such in the background advertising such things.

Go Batman!

Mrfuzzynutzon Feb. 21, 2012 at 10:13 a.m.

Awww...should have had Bats with a Batarang or something in his hand to show he really isn't out of the fight and planning on turning the tables.

On a side note, I don't mind the look of Darkseid on the cover as much as I did on the previous issue
