07/10/2015 02:40 pm EDT
Today at Comic-Con International: San Diego, DC Comics and writer Geoff Johns have announced Justice League: Gods and Men, a series of six one-shot issues spinning of the "Darkseid War" story ongoing in Justice League. Each issue will focus on a different key character in the Darkseid War, expanding on their individual conflict as the Anti-Monitor and Darkseid continue their apocalyptic conflict.
A press release detailed the six issues below:
Batman – Armed with the godlike power of the Mobius Chair, the Dark Knight has taken on the role of Metreon and plans to use the infinite knowledge of this device to turn Gotham City into a completely crime-free zone!
Superman – Corrupted by the weird energies of Apokolips' fire pits, Superman has been turned into an angry, violent brute. And only one man can possibly save him: Lex Luthor.
Green Lantern – Oa has been conquered and transformed into a Parademon factory and the Green Lantern Corps is no more! Only Hal Jordan remains to follow a distress call from the last active Lantern seen fighting on Oa: John Stewart.
Lex Luthor – At last, Lex Luthor, the new ruler of Apokolips, can do what he never could accomplish on Earth: hold the fate of a world in his hands. But his one failure from the "Darkseid War" continues to keep him from the peace he craves – and only a crazed Superman can help him get it!
The Flash – The Flash takes on the role of death's harbinger, the Black Racer. And the beneficiary of his first visit is Aquaman!
Shazam! – Instead of accessing the powers of the old gods, Billy Batson now commands the combined powers of the New Gods like Highfather, Mantis and others trapped within the Source Wall. And that's power that no mortal should possess!
Justice League: Gods and Men will ship in October. See the full cover for the Batman issue below.
