As has been known for a while, Darkseid is the bad guy in the first arc of The New 52′s Justice League, though he hasn’t been seen yet in the first two issues. That changes with Justice League #4, scheduled for release on Dec. 21 — which The Source reminds us is the first comic book appearance since early 2009 for the ruler of Apokolips.
DC’s publicity blog also has the first image of Darkseid as redesigned by Justice League series artist and DC Entertainment co-publisher Jim Lee, and, well, here it is. (Click to enlarge.)

Sweet Jebus, Jim Lee is a terrible, terrible designer.

I like the look very Kirby like. The Justice League title although going at a slow pace seems to be going in the right direction. I like the story line and love Jim’s art.
The big three are there now Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman the series has moved very slow to this point. With Darkseid coming maybe it will get interesting now. It is great to see them discovering each other in the New 52.
