Geoff Johns Explains The Story Behind Trinity War
Trinity War is upon us! Today, DC Comics‘ summer event kicks off with Justice League #22. What happens when the Justice League, the Justice League of America and the Justice League Dark all go into battle with one another? Who’s who in the Justice League?
You have questions – and DC has some answers from the man behind “Trinity War” – Geoff Johns!
DC Entertainment’s Chief Creative Officer and the writer of Justice League and Justice League of America breaks down the basics on Trinity War, the three Justice Leagues and how this summer’s epic event leads into September’s villain-centric Forever Evil. The video serves as the definitive crash course on all things Justice League, Trinity War and The New 52 before you head to comic shops to pick up part one of Trinity War.
For fans who’ll be attending San Diego Comic Con this year, you’ll be able to check out this video at the DC Entertainment booth throughout the duration of the convention!
DC Announces Villains Month, Forever Evil, and 3D Covers!
Following the events of this summer’s crossover Trinity War, a dark shadow will be cast across the DC Universe.
This September, all of the DC New 52 titles will be replaced by Villains books. What happens when the heroes of the DC Universe fall and there’s nobody left to stop the villains from taking over? Find out this fall during Villain’s Month, which will spotlight 52 of the DC Universe’s biggest rogues in their own one-shots.
September was the month DC relaunched their line and each year they plan on commemorating that with something big. Last year was the Zero issue, this year is Villain’s month.
As Jim Lee explained:
We launched the New 52 with all-new continuity and new costumes, Zero Month was all about origins of our heroes, and now the villains are taking over. One of the strengths of the DC Universe has been the strength of the rogues gallery. Often times they’re as famous – if not more infamous – than our heroes.
And what’s more, each Villains Month cover will feature a 3D motion image on the front and back!
Lee also had this to say about the 3D motion covers:
We’re also commemorating this event by doing something really unheard of, I think, as far as a major publisher – we’re actually adding a special cover on every single villain’s book. It’s called a 3D motion cover and it’s essentially artwork that’s been separated onto different layers, so when you hold the cover, which is a premium stock cover, and you slightly rotate the comic book left or right or up and down, the images move a bit.
Dan DiDio added:
It’s an incredible 3D effect that shows depth of field on the covers. It’s the full cover stock, so it’s not anything that’s been glued on. More importantly, it’s actually pliable and soft to the touch – it’s a brand new technology and we’re going to be the first ones debuting in this fashion.
September is also the launch date for Forever Evil, the seven-part mini-series by Geoff Johns and David Finch that sets into motion this first New 52 universe-wide crossover event.
Johns had this to say about the event mini-series.
Forever Evil is a chance for David and I to work on all the greatest villains in comic books. It’s literally everybody. I don’t even know if there’s anybody not in it. We’re really exploring what darkness means and the different kinds of darkness that are within these villains.
