The Toronto Star has announced that Canadian Jeff Lemire‘s next project for DC will be
Justice League Canada...formerly
Justice League America in 2014. The team's new headquarters will be at James Bay and Moosonee in Northern Ontario. The news is expected to be officially announced at the Fan Expo in Toronto later on today. Lemire dismisses any
Alpha Flight comparisons to the Star, while revealing a little of what we can expect.
“It’s not really like Alpha Flight, as we’re not creating a bunch of very Canadian characters,” says the writer
“Like those characters are all almost clichéd Canadian archetypes. This is still very much set in the regular Justice League universe and the team will still have some of the bigger named superheroes, but they will actually be located in Canada now, and there will be a couple of new members who are Canadian. So obviously as a Canadian, and as a Canadian storyteller, it’s something I’m very proud of.” A few new teenage Canadian characters are expected, and, he'll be bringing back Adam Strange too..as a Canadian!
