DC Announces New Superman Tribute in Wake of the Justice League's Death
To celebrate the incredible legacy of Superman after his passing in Death of the Justice League, DC Comics is uniting writer Tom King and artist Chris Burnham for Dark Crisis: Worlds Without a Justice League — Superman #1.
While the upcoming Death of the Justice League in Justice League #75 may have come as a surprise to many fans of DC's heroes, the comic company has been building up to the Man of Steel's death for some time. Ever since Jonathan Kent returned from the future, he's been burdened with the terrible knowledge that his father would soon die, and that he was destined to take up the mantle of Superman. Though it first appeared like Jonathan and Clark had worked together to prevent that, the Justice League's impending demise suggests that Superman is doomed. In the wake of that tragedy, readers will get to see Superman in a world where things turned out quite different.
