JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL #1 Spotlight

This month, DC Comics will release its next batch of Annuals. These special oversized issues will not only build off of the events in their respective series, but will also greatly impact the expanding DC Universe. Every day this week on THE SOURCE, we’ve be putting individual spotlights on each of these Annual issues by talking to various writers, artists, and editors to give you special sneak peeks at what’s to come! Last (but certainly not least!) up is JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL #1, which directly follows the shocking and game-changing events of JUSTICE LEAGUE #12!

“JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL #1 sets the stage for some major changes in the JUSTICE LEAGUE universe,” co-writer Geoff Johns teased to THE SOURCE. “Obviously, it's the last issue of the series, but certainly not the last story for any of the members – especially Booster Gold who ultimately will once again be drawn into the center of the DC Universe as the events of JUSTICE LEAGUE #12 start to change the course of the future.”

“I had a great time working with Geoff on this issue especially one as important as this,” continued DiDio. “It brings an end to certain stories and launches several characters into new and exciting directions.”

"Working with Dan DiDio and Geoff Johns was a great experience and presented me with something different to tackle in my career,” added artist Jason Fabok. “I had a great time drawing the JLI team in this last chapter of their story. What will come next for these characters? What big surprises await the Justice League? It's an exciting time to be a DC comics fan!"

“JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL #1 introduces two new members, Olympian and Blue Beetle, who join just in time for the team to implode,” concluded editor Brian Smith. “Several established players quit and not everyone will survive. All this, plus a shocking glimpse into the future of DC COMICS-THE NEW 52.”

Co-written by Geoff Johns and Dan DiDio and illustrated by Jason Fabok, JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL #1 goes on sale August 29.

Here’s a round up of the exclusive previews from this week’s DC COMICS-THE NEW 52 releases, on sale tomorrow.

USA TODAY has a sneak peek at RED LANTERNS #6.

COMIC BOOK RESOURCES posted the first five pages of ACTION COMICS #6, NEWSARAMA debuted a sequence from BATWING #6, COMICVINE has your first look at HAWK AND DOVE #6 and IFANBOY previewed STATIC SHOCK #6.

Meanwhile, MAXIM has a glance at SWAMP THING #6 and WIRED’s GEEKDAD gave you a taste of the new back-up story in MEN OF WAR #6. GAWKER’s KOTAKU has a sneak peek at JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL #6 and GAWKER’s IO9 showed you the first five pages of STORMWATCH #6. And over at IGN, take a first look at DETECTIVE COMICS #6.

Social media buff? Then check out the exclusive previews of GREEN ARROW #6 and O.M.A.C. #6 on DC Comics’ official Google+ and Facebook pages.

And in case you missed our blog post linking to it earlier today, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER has your first look at ANIMAL MAN #6 and an interview with series writer Jeff Lemire about the issue, which depicts the independent film that Buddy Baker starred in.
