DC have released several upcoming JLA covers including the preview covers from Cliff Chiang and Kevin Maguire for Justice League: Generation Lost #10. Both show pretty major events including Batman’s arrival on the scene and the confirmation that Maxwell Lord is trying to prevent the Kingdom Come future coming true.
Last week DC also released Ethan Van Sciver’s cover to Justice League of America (vol 2.) #50 showing the JLA fighting the Crime Syndicate from the Anti-Matter Earth. Ethan even manages to make Ultraman and Super Woman look more evil and unpleasant than normal.
That particular image caught Bleeding Cool’s attention as the letters from the shattered “Justice League of America” sign around Donna Troy seemed to spell S.T.F.U. However, Ethan posted to the BC message boards that there wasn’t anything deliberate about the positioning.
Another poster asked him about the reference he’d used for Donna Troy and he responded with,
I grabbed the most recent available reference on Donna Troy, by Mark Bagley, I think, from a JLA cover he did. Unless I’m actually drawing the book, I follow the lead of the current interior artist. What he/she says goes!
(You may spot that the cover contains a colouring mistake – the colour of Donna’s lasso is yellow in this preview, but has been established as blue in earlier issues to make it distinct from Diana’s lasso – but, one assume that’s nothing to do with Ethan).
I thought Ultraman died in Final Crisis…or did he get sent back in anti-matter time like Batman did in New Earth time? Or, maybe he became a anti-matter Black Lantern (or would it have been a White Lantern on his earth?) and got resurrected? Guess the Red Bee is the only one that stays dead nowadays…lol
