In some interesting news to be confirmed at Fan Expo in Toronto today, the Toronto Star has revealed that DC will be announcing that the Justice League of America series will come to an end in Spring 2014, with the team heading across the border to become the Justice League of Canada!

Toronto native Jeff Lemire will handle writing duties, but stresses that “It’s not really like Alpha Flight, as we’re not creating a bunch of very Canadian characters. Like those characters are all almost clichéd Canadian archetypes. This is still very much set in the regular Justice League universe and the team will still have some of the bigger named superheroes, but they will actually be located in Canada now, and there will be a couple of new members who are Canadian. So obviously as a Canadian, and as a Canadian storyteller, it’s something I’m very proud of.”

He did concede though that there would be one brand new Canadian hero added to the team, and also that – somewhat interestingly – a newly-Canadian Adam Strange would also be added to the team.

So what do we think of this? Good, bad, indifferent?
