Exclusive DC Preview: Justice League vs. Suicide Squad #6

The Justice League and the Suicide Squad came to blows over an office territorial dispute, but that dispute has taken on a new urgency as Maxwell Lord found himself in possession of the Heart of Darkness, the gem that powers the powerful villain Eclipso.

Lord used it to take control of the Justice League, whom he intended to use to take over the world...but that was before he realized that Eclipso's power was too much, and too pervasive, and that if somebody doesn't do something soon, there wouldn't be a world left for him to rule.

If every villain is the hero of their own story, then the path to victory isn't domination of the heroes; it's convincing them (and others) to see things your way. This is literally Maxwell Lord's power (which was revealed, by the way, in Invasion!, but even before he had powers he was good at it) and in Justice League vs. Suicide Squad #4 he sets about getting something that will augment his powers avatar give him his victory: The Heart of Darkness.

Unfortunately for him, the Heart of Darkness already has an owner, and this isn't the first time Eclipso has come very close to defeating the heroes of the DC Universe.

That's where Justice League vs. Suicide Squad #6 begins -- and DC has provided ComicBook.com with an exclusive preview of the series' final chapter, which features art by beloved JLA penciller Howard Porter over a story by The Flash and Frostbite scribe Joshua Williamson.
