If you’re a fan of Jason Fabok (Detective Comics, Batman Eternal) like I am, you’re going to love this bit of news: starting with Justice League #36, he will join writer Geoff Johns as the ongoing artist for the series! He’s following such top notch artists like Jim Lee, Tony Daniel, Ivan Reis, and Doug Mahnke. Make no mistake, he’s turned in some phenomenal work in the past few years at DC and more than deserves this job. If anyone can fill those big shoes, it’s him.
He had this to say to Buzzfeed about getting this big gig:
Over the past 4 years, I’ve had the opportunity to launch Batman:Eternal with Scott Snyder and an amazing cast of writers, work on the legendary Detective Comics with John Layman and draw the character of my dreams, Batman. I’m so thankful and blessed for these opportunities in my career. How could it get any better?
How about getting a call from Geoff Johns at 12’oclock midnight and having him offer you the art duties on Justice League? I was so blown away I don’t think I slept all week.
Geoff has been such a huge inspiration to me over the years reading his work and watching him weave these grand epics through the DC universe. In fact, one of my career goals was to get a chance to work with him on a project. To have the opportunity to draw the next chapter in his Justice League saga is an extreme joy and overwhelming to consider.
I’ve always dreamed of drawing Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Flash, Lex Luthor, Aquaman and the myriad of super-villains that comprise the Justice League books. Geoff has such an awesome story crafted and I can’t wait for fans to see what he has in store in the coming months. It’s going to get epic! I’m so thankful for this opportunity and hope that fans will look forward to what we have in store!
Justice League #36 should be available later this fall. Stay tuned to DKN for further details. In the meantime, check out this promo image.
