Lemire's Justice League United Adds New Members, Flies off to Space

The upcoming Jeff Lemire written Justice League Canada gets a major facelift as announced today. The book will become Justice League United (which was reported months ago by Bleedingcool.com).

According to Newsarama, the book will be bouncing between the team's new headquarters in Canada to outer space and it's thanks to new member Adam Strange and his Zeta beam. The first story arc will also feature an established roster with former JLA-ers Star Girl, Martian Manhunter, Green Arrow with new members Animal Manm, Supergirl and Strange.

Thing about this is that the new version of Adam Strange isn't a space-McGyver but rather a science nerd that will share equal parts of heroism with his alien wife Alanna. Oh and the team will be visiting the planets Rann and Thanagar which might see the return of Hawkman into the fold.

Finally, the team will also introduce a new Canadian superheroine who joins the team shortly. We still don't know what she'll look like though.

Which Superheroine Joins the Red Lanterns?

Here's a clue, she's a cousin of a famous DC Comics characters...

Yup, it's none other than Supergirl that's joining Guy Gardner's Red Lanterns.

Here's the official solicit:

Kotobukiya ARTFX+ Previews New 52 Supergirl Statue

A Kotobukiya Japanese import! Kotobukiya’s line of DC Comics “New 52” ARTFX+ Statues continues after the mighty Shazam and Black Adam with one of the most popular female characters in all of comics, Supergirl! Another Kryptonian crash landed on Earth, Kara Zor-El wakes up in Siberia not realizing that she’s on a different planet or that her homeworld has been destroyed. Initially distrustful of humanity and of her cousin Kal-El, Supergirl nevertheless learned to embrace her new home and its residents, becoming a hero and using her incredible Kryptonian abilities against Worldkillers, Black Banshee, and more!

A youthful and innocent heroine, Supergirl is constantly learning about the new world around her as well as her own new powers under the Earth’s yellow sun. In this fantastic new presentation she’s ready to take on anyone who tries to control her, standing proud and defiant in the face of any danger! Her strength is matched with her femininity as she poses with one leg slightly bent at the knee and one hand at her waist while the other is balled into a fist and held at the ready. Turned slightly, Supergirl regards you with all the focus of her attention, her perfectly sculpted face framed by her beautiful blonde hair. The Kryptonian’s distinctive New 52 costume is recreated with extreme attention to detail and includes the unique thigh high boots with exposed knees, half-body suit in gleaming metallic colors, and calf-length cape. The statue’s paint highlights all of the great details with bright, vivid colors exemplified by the “S” shield on her chest.

Supergirl stands just over 7 ½ inches tall (in the ARTFX+ 1/10th scale) atop her included display base with magnets in her feet for added stability. The powerful young hero looks great displayed all by herself, and she’s a perfect addition to the previous New 52 Justice League series!

Available January 2014.

Kenneth Rocafort's Design for New 52 Power Girl

Here's Superman artist Kenneth Rocafort's take on Superman's cousin Power Girl still with the boob window intact.

Oh and if you haven't heard, Power Girl recently returned to her old costume in Supergirl # 19. 

If I have the time I'm going to do a quick comparison between the two. What I can say however is that the gold chain running across her chest was really important. Secondly, I'm starting to fixate on Power Girl these days. Why oh why?

Power Girl's Boob Window Costume Returns in Supergirl # 19

I'm what you call an off-again-on-again Supergirl reader. I picked it up after H'El on Earth and now it looks like I'm picking it up again especially since we're in the middle of a crossover with World's Finest star Power Girl in Supergirl # 19 by Mike Johnson and Mahmud Asrar.

Not only is Power Girl teaming up with her 'cousin' Supergirl, she's also returning to a more 'iconic' costume in this issue.

So how does this happen?
