NYCC: Justice League Vs Suicide Squad Details
The first major event in DC Comics Rebirth, that isn’t set in one set of similar books like the current “Night of the Monster Men” for the Batfamily, is going to be Justice League Vs. Suicide Squad. At New York Comic Con, some details about the upcoming event were revealed, including certain matchups you can look forward to.
This all comes from the writer of the event, Joshua Williamson.
“There’s a scene between Killer Croc and Aquaman that has so much blood in it. So much blood. Lot of blood,” Williamson said. “For me, I write a lot of horror books, but writing for DC and writing The Flash I can’t get into as much horror stuff as I used to, but with Justice League vs. Suicide Squad I’ve definitely been able to get into some of the more scary elements of the DC Universe. And there’s some fights and some bloody stuff that happens. I think people will be surprised by how crazy things get.”
He also noted that though the teams will eventually work together, it’s not going to be so simple.
“The Justice League will have their powers used against them in interesting ways,” Williamson teased. “There was a lot stuff I was worried DC wouldn’t let me do because I really was trying to push some of the ideas and do something different with them. I was worried DC was going to say ‘That’s too far’ or ‘That’s too cruel’ or ‘That’s too much.’ There was even one moment where they said it was too sadistic, and I was like, ‘Isn’t that a good thing?’ and they let me do it.”
Also, Williamson teased that “someone will go boom”, but also, there are going to be some surprise returns:
“If you are a fan of DC Comics, you’re going to be surprised by some of the characters in this book. There’s going to be some surprises about some people we bring back during this. People are coming back,” Williamson said.
The event will kick off December 21st.
