Excited to share new work for New York Times bestselling and Eisner award-winning creator Jeff Lemire (Netflix’s Sweet Tooth, Black Hammer, Gideon Falls) — the publication design of a limited, and oversized hardcover edition collecting the bestselling MAZEBOOK series (published by Dark Horse Comics). Bringing the Mazebook to life through design, the publication features a cloth cover with embroidery, foil stamping, a color ribbon and gilding, signed tip-in plate and a rich backmatter section featuring illustrations by guest artists and Jeff’s notes on the creation of Mazebook.
This caps the creative journey we embarked on when I joined Jeff and Dark Horse Editor Daniel Chabon to develop the publication design and visual identity for the landmark, best-selling series.

In an intervire with CBR Jeff Lemire talks about the 3 teen superheroines on the upcoming Justice league United:
Lemire: I don’t really have much history with that character [Supergirl]. I hadn’t written her before but I always really like her. It’s one of those weird things where I don’t really know why I like that character so much. I guess when I was a kid, her connection to the Legion of Super-Heroes was pretty cool. I just always liked that character.
And she represents an interesting take on the Superman mythology for me. She is younger and bit more bullheaded than Superman. That’s a fun dynamic to add to the team. And of course, just from a pure power level, she’s great to have because she is the muscle of the team.
CBR: And what about Stargirl, again, a character that I wouldn’t have pegged for this team based purely on her relatively shorter history within the DCU?
Lemire: I didn’t plan on the bulk of my female characters being teenagers. It just kind of happened but it also created this interesting dynamic between the three of them: Supergirl, Stargirl and the new character that I don’t want to talk about too much yet. They are three very different personalities.
And Stargirl and Supergirl, specifically, are almost complete opposites. Stargirl is this optimistic, positive, almost embodiment of youth across the DC Universe and Supergirl is this alienated, headstrong loner. Putting those two together, you get immediate friction and that’s really interesting for me.
And Stargirl also creates a link to the Justice League of America, the last incarnation. I thought that it was good to have a couple of members cross over. She has a really great relationship with Martian Manhunter, as well, which Matt Kindt fleshed out in “Justice League of America” these past few months.
She wasn’t on my initial roster and then I started reading Matt’s stuff and I really liked what he was going for with Manhunter and Stargirl bonding. I felt there was some really rich ground that I could keep exploring with those two as their relationship keeps getting closer and closer. Manhunter almost becomes like a surrogate father to her in a weird way over the course of my arc, as well. That’s something I found really endearing and was a lot of fun to write
