Formerly known as Justice League Canada, Justice League United will replace Justice League America in May.
It looks like Justice League Canada has turned into something a little more inclusive. On his blog, Jeff Lemire announced that the title formerly known as Justice League Canada is now known as Justice League United. What's more, Mr. Lemire revealed a killer preview image by Mike McKone, showcasing the team's lineup: Supergirl, Stargirl, Martian Manhunter, Animal Man, Adam Strange, Alanna Strange, Hawkgirl, and Green Arrow.
"DC and I mutually agreed that the Canada title was too limiting for the cosmic scope the series was taking," said Lemire. "The team will still be based in Canada and the book will still introduce a brand new First Nations Canadian superhero to the DC Universe. More details on this new character, her origin and her powers, will be released in the weeks to come."
This is the second time that Lemire has made a major DC announcement via his own blog (the first was about the cancellation of Animal Man) rather than through "official" DC channels...which is pretty cool, and might be an indicator of just what kind of influence he currently wields over there!
