There are times when writing about the events in a comic book that one can’t say too much for fear of spoiling the story. Such is the case with JUSTICE LEAGUE: GENERATION LOST issue 22, written by Judd Winick and with art by Joe Bennett, Jack Jadson, & Ruy Jose, available in comic book stores and digitally today. There’s a major reveal in the first three pages, so if you haven’t already read your copy, then whatever you do, don’t click on the “jump” for (spoiler alert!) commentary by Judd Winick and preview pages.

"Many readers thought we were really killing off Blue Beetle. And that doesn't surprise me. We tried pretty hard to make that seem like it was truly the case. But MOST importantly, it was about the characters experiencing Jaime's death. It was much needed calm before the storm. And in finding out that he's still among the living, it's the kick in the butt they need to get them to finish this. The end is near. And the readers will really, REALLY, want to see how this all plays out." – Judd Winick.[gallery link="file" order="DESC" columns="2"]

Following the loss of Blue Beetle, the JLI faces their darkest hour in JUSTICE LEAGUE: GENERATION LOST #21. Captain Atom is still haunted by the thousands that died in Chicago, and now Booster has lost confidence in their mission just as it begins to approach its climax. If only something could jolt them back into action...

JUSTICE LEAGUE: GENERATION LOST #21 is on sale today in comic shops and in our digital store.

Next Wednesday's issue takes a look into Max Lord's past and explains the reason he's made it his life's work to eliminate metahumans.

Take a look at the preview below!
