Back in June, DC officially unveiled the relaunch of the Justice League comic series. And while the new series introduces new and mysterious issues for our team of heroes to tackle, the most interesting part of it centers around Lex Luthor and the Legion of Doom.
It is no secret that, while his intentions can be viewed as noble in a sense, Lex Luthor usually has evil intentions. But in Justice League (2018) #5, the corrupt billionaire is living by a new mantra: “Embrace Your Doom!”
After seeing what the future held for him, Lex has assembled a new Legion of Doom (Sinestro, Gorilla Grodd, Cheetah, Black Manta, Joker) in order to go cosmic, with the end goal of establishing himself as the biggest bad in the universe.
That cold future isn’t the only thing Luthor brought back with him though. In the previous issues, Lex was met by a mysterious, still-unseen figure, one who showed Lex the secret upon which the DC Universe was built. What that secret is, and how it makes him more powerful than ever, has yet to be determined.
Justice League (2018) #5 will be available on August 1st, 2018, written by James Tynion IV (Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II) and art by Jaime Mendoza and Doug Mahnke.
