JLA ends in April, replaced by cosmic/Canadian Justice League title

Back in August, Batman News reported that Justice League of America would become "Justice League Canada" following the events of Forever Evil. Now it appears that the book will take place in outer space as well as Canada and be called "Justice League United." The team's all-new roster no longer includes the likes of Catwoman, Katana, Vibe, Simon Baz, or Steve Trevor and appears to have an emphasis on cosmic and blond-haired heroes:

Adam Strange
Alanna Strange
Animal Man
Green Arrow
Hawkman
Martian Manhunter
Stargirl
Supergirl

The series will debut in April with an extra-sized zero issue followed by #1 in May. The first storyline will still be called "Justice League Canada" and is written by Jeff Lemire with art by Mike McKone.

Canadian Justice League? Is that a premature April's Fool?

What about Vibe? Not Aryan enough? Seriously, though. He's a compelling hero, his solo book just got cancelled and he needs a new home. Besides, I always thought there was a little tension between Stargirl and Vibe... mmmmhmmmm. ;)

I also liked Vibe. That was a fun book. It was an interesting concept that didn't stand a chance because the character looks lame and has a lame name.

  Also, I feel like Forever Evil has made a huge mess of all the Justice League titles. JLA was great until it became clear it existed just to help launch Trinity War and by extension Forever Evil. The connection between Vibe and JLA was probably the books best selling point and the cross-over took that away.
  Hopefully he pops up again in this book or another one. Maybe with a new costume. Pretty sure the name sticks though.

Red Robin...Yum

I actually met Vibes author at Wondercon and he's a really cool guy who seemed pretty excited about writing Vibe. It's tragic that it got cancelled (I never read it due to limited cash).
It does leave the question of what's going to happen to Vibe, Trevor, Katana, and Baz. Plus there goes the one book Catwoman starred in where she wasn't terrible.
Lemire is great though, so hopefully good things are ahead, especially since he already writes Green Arrow

I have to say, I really am not sure about this, I would much rather see martian manhunter, green arrow and hawkamn in the main justice league
