Next week Justice League #6 concludes the first arc of the revamped "New 52" series from Geoff Johns and Jim Lee, and sees the team come face to face with Darkseid for the first time in the DCnU. Here is a first glimpse at Lee's cover art..





Says Lee of the cover..

“I wanted to create a cover which resonated with what I consider to be the most classic Darkseid story – namely the Great Darkness Saga – so that entailed the Justice League bowing down naturally to the power of Darkseid. Except of course Batman who, despite not having powers, fights with all his strength in defiance.”


Pick up the issue February 29th.

That looks awesome. The last three issues haven't been as phenomenal as the first two, but this issue could be the best one yet.

Darkseid looks kind of ugly (due to his design, I believe)...but that cover is awesome indeed.

Wait im not understanding this.. So Batman can overcome Darkseids powers but not the rest of the JLA?

@HulkbusterNYC Darkseid isn't attacking the JL - aside from Superman - they are willfully bowing to Darkseid, assumingly begging him to stop the attack on Earth. But Batman bows to no one.

What Jim Lee meant say: we would never do Superman and Batman bowing to no one.

You know Batman's totally timing in his head how long it'll take before some bat thing he activated takes effect

Awesome cover. Still didn't like it in last issue with Batman revealing his ID so soon.

Still this series has been good for the most part.

superman7: Haha. :P Not sure if you're being sarcastic or what, but I mean, in his classic look he's ugly in a cool way (because the design wasn't bad); while this redesign does look kind of silly...add in Darkseid's natural ugly look, and the ugliness' doubled!

Darkseid is hands down DC's most Badass villain, i mean his presence alone proves why you shouldn't [frick] with the guy.
Toasty
Toasty - 2/21/2012, 9:54 AM
Also i like Batman as much as the next guy but they milk him far too much lately, i'd like for it to have been a team effort rather than just Bats having to stand up for the rest, i dare say i get sick of Batman riding the main front.

Yay, more shitty designs and glorified fanboy writing!!!!!

What this shows is that any character Jack Kirby had a hand in creating can rule over any DC character that didn't.

I was just about to post about Ivan's. He's amazing.

@knight3000 exactly... awesome cover, supes looks like he's in some pain so you know he and batman's gonna be the ones who give darkseid his comeuppance at the end of the fight.

@hush - personally i think Ivan Reis is better or at least on par with Lee, i mean take a look at some of Reis's Blackest Night artwork.

rbfn04 - 2/21/2012, 10:45 AM
@Just1Superguy Batman probably has a Bat-New-God-Stopper-Batarang. Cause, you know, he just KNEW they would be fighting a new god someday.

I don't LOVE Darkseid's new look, but this cover is pretty f***in sweet.

@monkeyballs3 - Hmmm...That MAY be true, but it's really not to the point...which is most of DC's characters suck.

Kidding!...sort of...not really.

Looks like Superman's getting a taste of the Anti-Life Equation on that Jim Lee cover. And Batman's NOT bowing. He's got a Batarang in his hand....
