It looks like more Future State: Justice League is in DC's future, and likely with an expanded team. The second issue of the two-issue limited series seems to strongly suggest Justice League will be the second Future State property that will branch off into an upcoming new title along with the just-announced 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Future State: Gotham

The majority of titles in the two-month DC event that takes place in various DC Universe future timelines are seeding storylines that will be pick-up when the publisher's main contemporary line returns and refreshes in March and beyond in the post-Death Metal 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new DC Universe they're calling the Infinite Frontier era.

The line-up includes Future State prequel series like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Next Batman: Second Son and 澳洲幸运5开奖༒号码历史查询:Misteꦑr Miracle: The Source of Freedom which tells the origin story of both characters, respectively.

H꧒owever, February 9's by writer Joshua Williamson is looking forward and not backward, and given DC's deliberate marketing style almost certainly means a continuation along♓ the lines of Future State: Gotham is in the works.

I'm not just the Newsarama founder and editor-in-chief, I'm also a reader. And that reference is just a little bit older than the beginning of my Newsarama journey. I founded what would become the comic book news site in 1996, and except for a brief sojourn at Marvel Comics as its marketing and communications manager in 2003, I've been writing about new comic book titles, creative changes, and occasionally offering my perspective on important industry evenܫts and developments for the 25 years since. Despite many changes to Newsarama, my passion for the medium of comic books and the characters makes the last quarter-century (𝓰it's crazy to see that in writing) time spent doing what I love most.
