The evil Justice League of Earth-3 will star in a DC miniseries titled Crime Syndicate, by writer Andy Schmidt and artist Kieran McKeown.
The six-issue Crime Syndicate miniseries will spin out of the events of Dark Nights: Death Metal, with Earth-3 reborn in a brand-new Multiverse. The series stars a paranoid titan (Ultraman), a narcissist (Super Woman), a nihilist (Owlman), a broken moral compass (Power Ring/Emerald Knight), a sociopath (Johnny Quick) and a sadist (Atomica). Crime Syndicate will also feature a backup story drawn by Bryan Hitch that chronicles the origin of Ultraman.
"Kieran and I were given a once a lifetime opportunity to build a world from the ground up," writer Andy Schmidt said in a statement. "We’re establishing the Crime Syndicate's origin story for the first time -- how and why they came together. And we're not taking it lightly. You'll find that you've entered a fully realized world -- this is the story of the Crime Syndicate, but it's also the story of Earth-3 and it moves fast and pulls no punches."
