The Doom Signal Starts a Hostile Takeover in DC Comics (Hawkman, Supergirl, JLO, Harley Quinn, Deathstroke and Catwoman Spoilers)
A number (but not all) of the DC Comics Year Of The Villain moved on from getting an offer from Lex Luthor (although today's Catwoman showed that moment too) as titles this week and last, looking towards the next phase of the crossover, noted something happening across the DC Universe
Actually, a fiction-within-a-fictional Harley Quinn noted it first last week, in Harley Quinn #66, before it was a thing.
The symbol of the Legion Of Doom, of Lex Luthor's belief that reality tends towards doom – or at least it should. Being mocked by Harley Quinn and Booster Gold. And she was right, it also appeared in last week's Deathstroke #48.
And this week, all over the place, the symbol of the Legion Of Doom lit up the sky. In Supergirl #35…
Whether in the Bermuda Triangle…
South America for Catwoman #16…
Or in deep space for Justice League Odyssey #14… the symbol has been appearing and appearing today, ahead of the Hostile Takeover month for Year Of The Villain.
Even beyond the limits of the known universe…
Look for this symbol to pop up everywhere for a month or so…
