TONY DANIEL DRAWS JUSTICE LEAGUE
Tony S. Daniel will draw two issues of DC Comics' Justice League, joining writer Geoff Johns for a story that begin in October's Justice League #13 and will introduce the Cheetah.
"Justice League is the first book I pull because of the big stories and the great Jim Lee art inside," Daniel said. "I'm very happy that I get a chance to focus all my energy on making my best artwork for Geoff and the fans of Justice League."
"Tony and I will be re-introducing one of DC's iconic villains - the Cheetah - and uncovering her mysterious connection to Wonder Woman and the Justice League," Johns said. "For me, the Cheetah is up there with Black Manta, Sinestro and Captain Cold as one of the most iconic villains in the DC Universe, and she'll become a major villainous force in 2012 and beyond. The fallout from Justice Lelague #12 starts here as we head towards next year's Trinity War."
Justice League #13 arrives in stores on Oct. 17.
