April 30, 2013: Johns and Lemire Talk About "Trinity War"

Justice League #22Justice League of America #6Justice League Dark #22

BuzzFeed.com spoke with DC Comics writers Geoff Johns and Jeff Lemire to get some inside information on what we can expect from the upcoming "Trinity War" saga set to take place across three different Justice League titles throughout July and August. Here's a portion of the interview...

    On top of the Justice Leagues being at war, there are two other players involved: Pandora and Phantom Stranger. How do they fit in here?

    GJ: Well, it's called the Trinity War, and obviously it's a war among the three Justice Leagues in a way, but also there is something that happens with the "trinity" of Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman, but then you have the Trinity of Sin, which is Pandora, Phantom Stranger, and The Question - who is a bit of a mystery - but those characters play a role in this as well. The top line is this a war between the World's Greatest Heroes, the World's Most Dangerous Heroes, and the World's Freakiest Heroes, but the mystery within that is "what does Trinity War mean?" And once that's revealed, it changes the DC universe in a very big way.

    JL: For anyone who's not familiar with a lot of this stuff, Pandora is a character who has been really present in all the New 52 books since the launch. She's sort of the center of the catalyst for this whole story; she's a really key figure.

    Any chance of Wonder Woman and Superman making it through this story arc with their relationship intact?

    GJ: I think the bigger question is will you see any of these characters make it through. The thing about Wonder Woman and Superman is when their relationship ends, it's going to end badly. There is no good way for this one to end. And then there's other concerns. When those two start acting out together, people get nervous. Not because they don't think they're heroes, but because they have such incredible power, and who could stop those two?

"Trinity War" is a 6-issue saga taking place across the three different Justice League comic books in July and August, starting with Justice League #22, and then continuing in Justice League of America #6 and Justice League Dark #22.
