The late annunciation byDC Comicsthat its next major crossover event will be titledDark Crisishas caused some fan to care that it will be overly dark and gloomy . Dark Crisiswill spin out of the upcoming " Death of the Justice League , " and continue the publishing house ’s trend of placing the watchword " Crisis " into its consequence . However the author of the upcoming issue , Joshua Williamson , late took to Twitter to share some prevue double ofDark Crisisand to promise fan , " It ’s NOT going to be end of the world and glumness , it ’s going to be a play roller coaster featuring all the heroes you love . "
Ever since the legendary 1985Crisis on Infinite Earths , the DC Universe has periodically experienced vast title - sweep events that force the heroes of the universe to come together to vote down a major wickedness . These crossovers have includedInfinite Crisis , Flashpoint , Final Crisis , Blackest Night , Dark Nights : Metal , and most recentlyDark Nights : Death Metal , one of DC ’s darkest and most depressing plots to date . Not everyone is a sports fan of the room thatThe Dark Knightand Zack Snyder’sBatman Vs . Supermanmovies have shifted DC Comics into a darker , and more introspective place . This is not to say that " doom and sombreness " is a unsound thing by any means , it creates tension , dramatic play , and high stakes , but it seems fans are wary about another " Crisis , " because it feel likethe universe just went throughDeath Metalbefore landing in the currentInfinite Frontierera .

Dark Crisis- a collaborative effort between author Joshua Williamson , creative person Daniel Sampere , colorist Alejandro Sánchez , and letterer Tom Napolitano - will be a monthly consequence release over seven issues that commence with a gratis issue # 0 on May 7th for Free Comic Book Day . compose onTwitter , perhaps in response to some sports fan anxiousness about another " dark " event come so before long , Williamson is reassuring readersthatDark Crisismay have a Multiversal Crisisas its foundation , but the heart of the upshot will really be about legacy , relationship , reunions , and celebration of the wonder that is the DC Universe .
Specifically , while sharing gorgeous prevue images forDark Crisis , Joshua Williamson had this to say :
This is the first pageboy of DARK CRISIS # 1 . We reach the effect here because I wanted to show from the kickoff what this story was about . That out of shadow came a light that gave birth to one of the greatest legacies in comics .
The Generational history . The Classic Heroes . The Legacy Heroes . The Sidekicks . The Families . All aspects that I love about the DC Universe , and I wanted to tell a story about why those pieces are authoritative and of the essence to DC .
An larger-than-life conflict of good vs evil . bomber vs villains . Big surprises , reunions , the return of lost heroes . As much as this event will have a massive cast & fight scenes , it ’s really about showing the hero sandwich ’ relationships with each other as they are faced with an unimaginable Crisis .
Dark Crisis is a dearest letter to the ever growing DCU . To celebrate the characters and the relationships that we ’ve seen build over DC ’s great history .
It ’s NOT go to be doom and gloom , it ’s going to be a sport roller coaster featuring all the heroes you love .
One of the chief highlights of Dark Crisis is working with Daniel and Alejandro . They are doing breathless work on this series .

Dark Crisis is a 7 - issue serial that spins out of JUSTICE LEAGUE # 75 " DEATH OF THE JUSTICE LEAGUE '' and connects all the narration threads across the DCU since Infinite Frontier # 0 in a major agency . Unifying the new bequest of the DCU as we respect the classic . You ca n’t overleap it !
A major event that unify some of the ostensibly disconnected plots that have modernize sinceInfinite Frontier # 0sounds like something that any lover should be excited for , and Williamson ’s vehemence on the events focus on legacy , beloved , and finding light in the darkness testify thatDark Crisismay be way less paltry than the name realise it out to be . DC Comics has not bring out too many details about the case , partly because the main route to the issue , " Death of the Justice League " inJustice League # 75,has not debuted yet . However DC has revealed that the plot will focus on the character Pariah , a long - numb character fromCrisis on Infinite Earthswhose habitation world was destroyed . He will somehow contribute his populace back in a way thatinvolves The Great Darkness , a being that has been tie to all prior big crisis events in DC ’s chronicle . Hopefully , just like DC’sBlackest Nightled directly into the hopefulBrightest Day , so too will the the threat of The Great Darkness work into a Great Light .
Major comics consequence likeDark Crisisare often year in the fashioning , and lover should trust Williamson and his awing squad of creative person and partner in crime to create an case that is just as glowering , dangerous , and heartbreaking as it is inspiring , exciting , and surprising . With the seeming deaths of the major Justice League member , it seems like the next generation of heroes like Jonathan Kent , Yara Flor , and Jace Fox will need to maltreat into the shoes of their predecessorsthroughoutDark Crisis , hopefully living up to the names that they all now claim . verify to check outDC Comicsupcoming " end of the Justice League"before snaggingDark Crisis # 0when it debut on Free Comic Book Day , May 7th , followed by the the one - shotJustice League : Road to Dark Crisis # 1on May 31st .
