Did Justice League #34 Just Spoil the Next Month-and-a-Half of DC Comics (Spoilers)
A month ago, Bleeding Cool pointed out that Batman #81 was to lose its Year Of The Villain branding. Which it has. Consider that Year Of The Villain branding was the excuse that DC Comics gave to pulp an issue of Superman and Supergirl (and then reprinted with different ethnicity-based colouring of certain characters), it then seems peculiar for Batman #81 to have one of the bigger tie-ins to Year of The Villain with a multi-page sequence by Tom King and a previously-uncredited Mitch Gerads featuring Harvey, last seen hog-tied and naked with a target painted on his stomach by the Batman Villain gallery, breaking into song as a certain symbol fills the sky.
The symbol, appearing over the last two weeks in the sky of DC Comics titles, also pops up in Teen Titans #35…
And in Nightwing #65…
And Aquaman #54…
It's been prophesied in recent issues of Justice League, coming from Apex Lex.
And from Starman…
And in today's Justice League #34, Jarro has had an eyeful it seems.
But the Luthor spills the beans. Back in Justice League #25, he made an offer to the world…
Well today, either the sigil of Doom signified the vote or the result. And Luthor acts as election night commentator.
We have another two weeks of Doom sigils and a month of Hostile Takeover repercussions – but Luthor has let everyone know what's up. Doom is the seventh force, everyone has voted for it… and it's all that Perpetua needed.
