Ivan Reis has been named as the artist of the new Justice League of America title launching in February as part of DC's second wave of "Rebirth" titles.

Reis will join Steve Orlando,  spinning out of the upcoming Justice League vs. Suicide Squad event title. Justice League of America is expected to launch in February as a twice-monthly book.

In January 2017, kicking off Justice League Of America (hitting shelves twice monthly starting February 2017) are four DC Rebirth one-shots. They make four bold statements that form the foundation of a team that will bring justice to places that have given up on hope; places that thought heroism would never find them. The Justice League of America goes there! They explore the Microverse, the Hidden Cities, the worlds within worlds; they go to the other side of the map and explode forward with the new face of Heroism.

This is a Justice League that looks like America, that proves Heroism can look like ANYTHING and ANYONE.

From February 1960 to February 2017. The mission hasn't changed. It's just evolved.

The first of those is Vixen.

And fourthly, Killer Frost.

By Steve Orlando, Jody Houser and Mirka Andolfo.

What happens to a supervillain on their last day in Belle Reve Prison? Against all odds, Killer Frost is up for parole from the Suicide Squad, but you can bet Amanda Waller isn't going to make it easy for Frost to take her place on the new JLA.

And, yes, a black member, an Asian member, a gay member and… a blue redemptive member? So far.
