November 6, 2000: Know Thy Enemy, From the Inside Out... JLA: Seven Caskets
What happens when the greatest force for good ever known becomes something... evil? Found out this December in JLA: SEVEN CASKETS, a Prestige Format one-shot written and painted by master storyteller Dan Brereton (THRILLKILLER, GIANTKILLER). All around the world, things are going bump in the night. Horrifying apparitions are manifesting from pole to pole. On the moon, the JLA are visited by a pair of ghostly twins who bring a dire warning: a Chaos god is awakening at the center of the earth. His coming is heralded by the restless spirits wreaking havoc worldwide. Among these are seven undead kings who served the Chaos God in ancient times. Should the seven kings succeed in fully rousing their deity, an eternal, evil darkness will claim the world forever. But as the World's Greatest Super-Heroes split up to stop these adversaries, they find that their vaunted unity is crumbling quickly, and they no longer seem able to pool their strengths and quell their petty squabbling. The rules have changed -- and good may not always triumph against this twisting, warping evil. It appears the only way the JLA can save the day... is to become as evil as their foes!According to Group Editor Dan Raspler: "In addition to being a master painter/storyteller with a vivid kinetic style and incredible color palette, Dan Brereton's writing has a tight grasp on the voices of JLA characters. The heroes find themselves in a desperate situation that exposes the cracks in their relationships. Brereton is able to exploit the flaws in their shining armor and give us an intense and creepy JLA epic. Plus, he's dreamt up some really monstrous new villains."
JLA: SEVEN CASKETS (OCT00 0561) arrives in stores December 6 with a cover price of $5.95 U.S.
