USA Today revealed that a new five-issue crossover event from Geoff Johns will begin next year in Justice League #15 and continue in Aquaman.

The article also revealed that the Justice League is gaining two new members. The first comes as no surprise; after gaining his powers from the wizard, Shazam (Billy Batson) will join the ranks of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. The second, however, is a bit of a surprise. The Justice League's second new member will be THE ATOM. It's about time!

On the crossover event, Geoff Johns said the following:

"It's all about progressing the team and the members and the reality and the perception of what the Justice League is in the DC Universe."

"There's an inciting incident that triggers some tensions [between the heroes] but really it's about taking a hard look at what the power of Atlantis is."

"Aquaman's going to have to make some decisions that the League won't necessarily agree with."

"Mera has absolutely no affinity for Atlantis. She's from a penal colony and was raised to go to war with Atlantis and ultimately fell in love with Aquaman and defected like he did to the land."

"There's still questions of what Atlantis is like and what they do and what they're capable of and why they exist and who sank Atlantis. There's all this mythology behind Atlantis that were not really sure of and no one really has any answers, and we're about to get the answers."



Apparently, the conflict will be more a battle between Aquaman and Ocean Master than between Aquaman and the Justice League, despite what the teaser at the end of Justice League #12 may have led people to believe.



This event, along with "Trinity War" will begin next year. Looks like 2013 has some great things in store for DC lovers.

Wow that first post. Looking foward to this. Never quite got the hate for aquaman. He's a cool enough superhero.

I'm no expert on Justice League members, but shouldn't that "surprise" be the other way around? I mean, it was for me. The Atom has always been a Leaguer. Not in the New 52, but he is a classic member of the silver age Justice League. But when has Captain Marvel ever been a member of rthe League? Like I say, I wouldn't call myself an expert, so maybe he was a member for a couple of minutes, but I certainly don't remember that ever happening. I was pretty shocked to hear that he'd be joining, to be honest. It just seems like a strange fit. It'd be like having Apollo and the Midnighter join. Strange.

With a good enough creative team,writer & artist,any character can be made a viable comic book / movie / television / merchandise property.

Aquaman may someday achieve that level of success.

Aquaman has been my favorite series so far. It's really quite great. Green Lantern is a close second though. But, the writing in Aquaman is really good, and don't even get me started on how awesome the art is. Can't wait for the new story arc. I'm just hoping whoever replaces johns and reis don't screw up one of the best series in the New 52. Especially if they come in in the middle if the story arc johns is starting with JL and Aquaman. There will definitely need to be a lot of collaboration of course.
