DC Comics representatives told fans at Fan Expo Toronto that a new incarnation of the Justice League will be forming in 2013.

This new ongoing series, titled Justice League of America, will star Steve Trevor, Martian Manhunter, the new Green Lantern Baz, Green Arrow, Hawkman, Catwoman, Stargirl, Katana and Vibe.

The book will be written by Geoff Johns, who has also been writing the ongoing Justice League series, and David Finch, who has been working on Batman: The Dark Knight.

This is a very different kind of team book, Johns said via press release. “On first glance, people might think the heroes of the Justice League of America stand in the shadows of Superman, Wonder Woman and the rest of the JUSTICE LEAGUE, but Green Arrow, Katana, Martian Manhunter, the new Green Lantern, Stargirl, Vibe, Hawkman and Catwoman thrive in the shadows. They’re underdogs who have everything to prove and something to lose. They’re a team of unlikely heroes who will help one another discover they’re as A-List as anybody — yes, even Vibe. Though getting there won’t be easy. Why they’re formed, why each member joins, what they’re after and who the society of villains is they’re trying to take apart will all be clear in the first issue when it hits early 2013. David and I are really focused on delving deep into what it’s like to not be a member of the big seven and why, sometimes, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.”

Johns later told MTV that Justice League, Justice League Dark and Justice League of America will all be tying into one another. When asked if this meant the three teams would be fighting in the company’s upcoming Trinity War event comic, he said: ”It could be, but you’re a little off.”
