Spoilers for Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #7 by DC Comics ahead!
DC Comics is teasing a new dawn for the universe, as the epic finale of Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #7 will usher in what's coming next for the comic book publisher. DC shared that the last issue of the massive crossover event will launch the DCU into "an exciting new direction" for 2023, with the Justice League returning to take down Deathstroke's Dark Army once and for all.
DC dropped a major twist when it revealed that the current Dark Crisis event was a secret Crisis on Infinite Earths' sequel. The story featured the shocking Death of the Justice League at the hands of Pariah, which turned out to be another misdirection, as Pariah kept the greatest heroes in the DC Universe contained in pocket dimensions where he could siphon off their energy to bring back Infinite Earths. However, with the Justice League back on Earth and Dark Pariah and the Great Darkness soon to be defeated, the final issue of the crossover event will set the stage for what's next in the DCU.
In a new preview of Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #7 from Joshua Williamson, Daniel Sampere, and Alejandro Sanchez from DC Comics, the heroes of Earth, including the recently returned JSA, will have defeated Great Darkness and Pariah as a final war will begin against Deathstroke and his Dark Army. In a press release, Williamson revealed the event's finale will be the "darkness before the dawn" referring to a "new dawn of the DC Universe." The Dark Crisis writer said the issue began with death but will end with life, as the end of the event will "launch the DCU into a new exciting direction!" Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #7 will feature a main cover from Sampere and Sanchez and a slew of variants. Included among the new DC art are variants by Clay Mann, Tony S. Daniel, and Felipe Massagera, a 1:25 variant from Ian Churchill, a 1:50 variant from Kyle Hotz, a 1:100 foil variant from Sampere and Alejandro Sanchez, a George Perez tribute cover from various artists, and four Dawn of DC variant covers from Dan Mora.
