The upcoming comic book series Justice League Odyssey will take Cyborg and a team of cosmic heroes on a journey through the stars, and that journey once included cosmic dragons. Really.
Odyssey artist Stjepan Seijic, who has done work for DC previously, took time out of his day to reveal some artwork for the lost first two issues of the book. The samples are truly wild, from the aforementioned cosmic dragons to Green Lantern Jessica Cruz looking like a fantasy character and Azrael at the helm of Brainiac’s Skull Ship. Though these concepts are no more, Seijic offered no ill will and promises the revised scripts will “take things to the next level.”
for the time being these will be the only samples of the discarded justice league odyssey issues i will show.
on the bright side, while the original scrips was completely nuts and epic, new one takes it to the next level.
no joke…

Spinning out of the events of Justice League: No Justice, Odyssey will see Cyborg recruit Cruz, Azrael, Starfire and the recently reborn Darkseid on a quest to travel the galaxy and discover new planets that have emerged. The book was originally meant to release this summer, but has since been pushed to the fall.
The artwork appears to be the remains of what Sejic was able to salvage after a “miscommunication between production lines” back in June resulted in two full issues being lost. At the time, Sejic said of the miscommunication that “these things happen when you’re dealing with such large company machinery.” At least the artist was able to recover some of his work, even if those issues will never see the light of day.
Written by Joshua Williamson with art by Sejic and variant covers by Rachel Dodson and Terry Dodson, Justice League Odyssey #1 releases Sept. 26.
