Earlier today, we spoke with writer James Tynion IV all about “Justice League” #12, the Black Manta-focused issue of the ‘Drowned Earth’ crossover between “Aquaman” and “Justice League.” Tynion, who has been writing all the Legion of Doom-focused issues in the series, had this to say about the issue:
In this issue, in ‘Drowned Earth,’ I remember when we started talking about all of the pieces of mythology that we wanted to play with. And we knew we wanted Arion. We knew we wanted Poseidon and the Greek gods and we wanted to created the graveyard of gods and all of these big mythology pieces, fun toys to play with. And it was one of those things where it’s funny because it’s Scott [Synder] knew right off the bat where it’s just like, if James was writing issue 12, then that’s the issue where we’re gonna explain the history or everything because he knows I eat that stuff up.

We are thrilled to share an exclusive first look at the issue, which hits stores on November 21st.
