This week’s issue of Justice League, being promoted primarily as a hook-up between Superman and Wonder Woman that takes place near the end of the issue, provides a lot of closure to the series’ first year and a lot of information about the coming year in the series, not least of all because Geoff Johns has returned to an old storytelling device that he loved so much on titles like JSA and Booster Gold: that final page of “coming this year” teases.So what did we find out from the issue?1. Ivan Reis is almost definitely taking over from Jim LeeRumors in the last few weeks have seen Aquaman penciller Ivan Reis step off that title to take over Justice League, a series that DC’s co-publisher Jim Lee is currently drawing.Rumors up until recently had been that Lee would like to relaunch WildC.A.T.S., a series he created twenty years ago when he left the big two comics publishers to co-found Image Comics and which DC took possession of when they purchased his WildStorm studios from him. Earlier this week, though, new rumors came to light that Lee might be taking about six months off from monthly art chores in order to get a leg up on a new Superman series he’ll be launching with Batman scribe Scott Snyder.All along, the only name associated with taking Justice League over should Lee walk away was Ivan Reis, the longtime collaborator of Justice League writer Geoff Johns on Green Lantern and Aquaman.–and now it’s Reis who drew that final teaser page.”Coming in the second year of Justice League” indeed.”
