The current Aquaman art team of Ivan Reis and Joe Prado will take over the pencilling and inking duties on Justice League, beginning with January’s #16, according to a story at Buzzfeed.The site reports that Justice League #15, which will ship on December 26, will be Jim Lee’s last one on the title before he leaves to pursue his “next major DC project,” which they indicate will be announced at New York Comic Con next month.It’s been rumored for quite a while that DC was looking to replace the often deadline-challenged Lee on Justice League, with Reis being the only name seriously mentioned in any reports.More recently it’s come to be widely believed that Lee will take a few months off from regular pencils on a monthly title in order to launch a new, monthly Superman: Man of Steel title with Scott Snyder, likely timed to coincide with the movie of the same name which hits theaters in June.Reis will provide a (likely variant) cover to Justice League #15, seen at right, as well as the cover for Justice League #16, seen below, which looks to be a reimagining of the recent Robot Chicken variant for Justice League #12.
