This Just Happened: Waller Calls in Back-Up

SPOILER ALERT: If you have not read JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA’S VIBE #4 and do not wish to know what happens, stop reading this post now (major spoilers ahead!)

From the creative team of writer Sterling Gates and artists Manuel Garcia, Fabiano Neves, Sandra Hope Archer, and Brad Anderson, JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA’S VIBE #4 continues Vibe’s head-spinning emergence into the world of superheroes.

Last issue, Cisco (a.k.a. Vibe) and his brother Dante received a surprise visit from a being who seemed to slip through dimensions … and right into the Ramon family’s home!

It all begins with Dale Gunn returning home and the revelation that the mysterious agent of A.R.G.U.S. is married. Agent Gunn has kept his marriage hidden up until now in an effort to protect his husband, Casey, from coming to harm at the hands of A.R.G.U.S.’s growing roster of enemies.

Meanwhile, Vibe’s mysterious visitor claims to have been A.R.G.U.S.’s “Subject Zero”, the first being to breach the dimensional membrane in an effort to warn Earth about Darkseid’s invasion which claimed the life of Vibe’s brother Armando years ago.

The visitor, Breacher, tries to caution Vibe about the ominous motives of A.R.G.U.S., but before he can finish, he appears to be pulled back through the dimensional rift by an unseen force.

As Cisco and Dante begin researching the origins of A.R.G.U.S., the shadowy organization summons Vibe to assist them in tracking down the escaped fugitive and shape-shifter known as Gypsy.

Following a brief attempt to escape disguised as Batman, Gypsy flees into a nearby building and finds herself cornered by Vibe. But after listening to Gypsy’s sad story, Vibe agrees to use his powers to instead help her figure out how to return home to her own dimension.

While all of this is happening, Amanda Waller (who had been observing Vibe during his encounter with Gypsy) declares him AWOL and orders a mysterious team to bring them both in. And just who is Waller speaking to? Deadshot, Harley Quinn and King Shark of the Suicide Squad!

“I like the Suicide Squad quite a bit,” Gates told COMIC BOOK RESOURCES earlier this morning. “And when you've got a kid who can tear the universe apart if he wants to who's just gone AWOL along with Gypsy -- who Waller seems to know a lot about and we'll learn more about soon -- I think Waller's justified in sending this special ops team. Now, are there other special ops teams that are also qualified for this? Maybe. But I'm sure Waller feels justified in doing this. And things don't go well for all the members of the Suicide Squad in issue #5. Vibe is incredibly powerful, and while he has some training, if you push him to the limit he could tear the universe apart. God help you if you push him too far.”

How do you think Vibe will fare against the world’s deadliest assassin, Joker’s love interest and a villain so monstrous he ate his own teammate? Let us know in the comments section below and don’t forget to pick up JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA’S VIBE #4, in stores now!

This Just Happened: Trial By (Flash) Fire

SPOILER ALERT: If you have not read JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA’S VIBE #3 yet and do not wish to know what happens, stop reading this post now (major spoilers ahead!).

In February, a new solo series spotlighting one of the Justice League of America’s unlikeliest members debuted. And if you’ve read this week’s issue of JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA’S VIBE, you know that the adventures of this teenage super-being are just getting started.

After having been formally inducted into the Justice League of America, Cisco Ramon is put to the test by A.R.G.U.S. Amanda Waller has already seen Vibe prove his unique set of powers when he faced off against the Parademon that killed his brother (in issue #1). Now, he must be trained to follow’s A.R.G.U.S.’ orders to become as valuable a team member as Waller believes – and needs – him to be.

In order to do so, Vibe is assigned to intercept the speed force to track down a certain hero. Since he’s able to locate inter-dimensional beings, Vibe may be the only person with the ability to be quick enough to ever stop The Flash – should the time ever come that the Justice League needed to be stopped …

But before being sent after Barry Allen, Vibe must prove he’s capable of stopping a younger and less-experienced speedster: Kid Flash. Meanwhile, Amanda Waller observes how he navigates his way through this situation on a laptop from afar, closely observing how he follows orders, how he uses his abilities, and how his psyche is impacted.

Yet once Vibe and Kid Flash face off solo and disconnected from Waller, Vibe finds himself being accused of “working for bad guys,” triggering feelings of doubt and uncertainty about not only who the Justice League of America really is, but what his specific role will help the team accomplish. And when his brother Dante points out just how little he knows about the JLA’s motives, Cisco realizes that there’s lots of missing information he needs before risking his life as Vibe again.

“We’re going to explore what it’s like to have to grow up quickly, faster than you think you have to grow up. Sometimes growth is thrust upon us when we’re not expecting it,” series writer Sterling Gates recently told NEWSARAMA. “Cisco is very suddenly recruited into a massive government organization and told he’s the only person in the world who can identify and track inter-dimensional breachers. What does that do to you, as a young man? And what happens if you are asked to track down someone who’s innocent? The story’s got a lot of twists and turns as it goes along, introducing some concepts that will have bigger implications to the DCU.”

Is Cisco ready to give up his “Vibe” identity before he finds out truly what A.R.G.U.S. has in store for him? Either way, he’ll have to decide quickly if he’s going to survive! In the gallery above, take a look at the last page of JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA’S #3, as Cisco’s life is threatened under his own roof. But who can he trust? A.R.G.U.S. or his own instincts?

Vibe). You also got a first look at Pete Woods’ interior art for Vibe’s inaugural issue, co-written by JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA writer Geoff Johns.

And beyond “The Circus,” there is a secret chamber that holds perhaps the most powerful entity on the planet: Darkseid’s daughter!

Below, take a look at the final page of “Not-So-Secret Origin” as Amanda Waller reveals the whereabouts of Darkseid’s daughter.

Andrew Kreisberg Talks JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA'S VIBE #1

This February, the just-formed Justice League of America will introduce an all-new team of superheroes to the DC Universe. And with the launch of JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA, another one of the members of the team’s roster will also be getting his own solo ongoing series: Cisco Ramone, a.k.a. Vibe. Hitting stores on February 20, JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA’S VIBE #1 comes to you from the creative team of writer Andrew Kreisberg and artist Pete Woods. Set in Detroit, the series’ inaugural issue is also co-written by JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA writer Geoff Johns.

 

But who exactly is Vibe?

 

“We’ve made him a really grounded person and a very realistic person,” Kreisberg explained to IGN about the series’ protagonist. “In some ways, there’s sort of a wish fulfillment for comic book fans because he’s a teenage kid that’s suddenly given superpowers and suddenly he’s in the Justice League of America working alongside the heroes that he, as a kid, had worshipped. In some ways, he’s teenage me or teenage you, and suddenly he gets to be with the Justice League. And he reacts in what we hope is a very realistic way. He has a lot of questions and he’s got a lot of fears. The DC Universe is populated with a lot of god-like characters like Superman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, and a lot of inscrutable characters like Batman. What was most exciting for us was the opportunity to create almost a real person who gets thrust into this world that the audience can really relate to and that we can really dig into as a person.”

 

“One of the smartest things Geoff said early on was, ‘It's really important we come up with a franchise for him, and it can't just be that he has powers,”’ Kreisberg continued to NEWSARAMA. “So we hit upon the idea that, since the Darkseid invasion began in Detroit, this is where the membrane is weakest between the dimensions, because this is where they punched through. And this left a crack in the fabric of reality between all the dimensions of all the Earths. Things kind of fall through, and people sneak through, and if there's going to be another invasion, this is where it will begin. Since Cisco draws his powers from the energy of these vibrational cracks, he's also able to sense these incursions. He knows when things are here that shouldn't be, or when things come through. And he says, with some irony, that he's essentially become an inter-dimensional border cop. I think that gives a strong franchise to the book. He's here to clean up Detroit from these incursions, but the people he's working for — Amanda Waller and A.R.G.U.S. — don't always, necessarily, have his best interest at heart, or the best interest of some of the innocent people who come through. So it's going to lead to a lot of interesting conflicts.”

 

To read more from Andrew Kreisberg about the launch of JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA’s VIBE, see the full interviews that ran this morning with the writer on MTV GEEK, IGN, NEWSARAMA, COMIC VINE, AOL’s COMICS ALLIANCE and COMICOSITY. And don’t forget to visit each of these outlets for your first looks at Pete Woods’ interior art for JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA’S VIBE #1.
