DC Comics' Naomi To Be A Queen? More Glimpses Of The Future
In Britain, we have just learned that Camilla Parker-Bowles will be granted the title of Queen Consort, rather than Princess Consort, when Prince Charles ascends to the throne. But she is not the only person to discover she will be Queen this week. Today's Justice League Annual 2o22 has also been doing its own time travelling, originally solicited as Justice League Annual 2021. And it leads into the Justice League/Legion Of Super-Heroes crossover event comic from Brian Bendis, and in doing so, has the familiar sight of those from the future knowing a little too much about those from the present. Such futures are always up in the air…
…but when it's a character that Brian Bendis co-created like Naomi McDuffie, who also has her own TV series now, and he is writing this story, then maybe it might have a little more weight to know that one day she will be Queen Naomi. Queen of where? Earth? WarWorld? Themyscira? Atlantis? No idea. But what of Black Adam? Now a member of the Justice League, his history has been a little tyrannical in the past.
But it looks like there is a glory in his future. Or maybe just justification for having him on the Justice League team with his movie on the way… talking of terrible things…
Lobo gets married to Dove, everyone. Dove. Can anyone picture that working?
What will happen when the other OMAC returns from WarWorld? If he does, that is? And talking go looks to the future that may never be, Future State: Gotham puts a brand new Joker together…
…one with the physique closer to Bane. Which is ironic considering The Joker #12, also out today. And The Next Batman makes a very different step away from his Future State future…
