December is shaping up to be a big month for DC Comics. Following the announcement of Batman/Catwoman, we now get the details on another limited series: Endless Winter.
Co-writer Ron Marz is no stranger to superheroes facing a cold threat — he was one of the guiding hands on the 1996 mini Final Night, wherein the Justice League faced a seemingly unwindable situation following the the Earth’s sun being extinguished.
Here are the details on Endless Winter and its crossovers:
DC PRESENTS
JUSTICE LEAGUE: ENDLESS WINTER
Nine-Issue December Event Pits The World’s Greatest Super-Heroes
Against an Ancient Enemy
This December, the Justice League learns firsthand the meaning of “Revenge is a dish best served cold,” in Justice League: Endless Winter, a nine-issue event taking place throughout the month of December.
1000 years ago, a disparate group of heroes – Hippolyta, Black Adam, Swamp Thing and the Viking Prince – banded together to prevent the world from freezing at the hands of the Frost King, an exiled Norse god with the ability to control entire ecosystems. The heroes triumphed, but victory came at a terrible price, one that has been kept secret until now.
Justice League: Endless Winter spans a total of nine titles, all co-written by Ron Marz and Andy Lanning.
“Getting to play with such a great cast of cool superheroes is like catnip for me,” said Lanning. “From the Justice League to Teen Titans, Aquaman to Black Adam and, probably my personal favorite, Justice League Dark, there are so many moments to showcase that there’s something for everyone.”
