>At the DC Comics panel at New York Comic Con today, they announced a bunch of new superhero comic books launching in March 2026 as part of the DC Next Level promotional programme. But also that Joshua Williamson would be bringing back The Legion Of Super-Heroes with their own new title. The Legion hasn't been seen much since their Brian Bendis run, and the version we've had from Joshua Williamson lately in Superman has been the Absolute Legion, working under Darkseid and totally corrupted.

>These won't be them… these are your proper Legion.

> At Wondercon this year, DC Comics Editor-In-Chief Marie Javins gave panel attendees the hint that the Legion Of Super-Heroes would be returning to the DC Comics Universe. With Mark Waid saying that, despite all the different versions of the team that have existed over the years, the one DC has chosen to use is one he's "confident everyone will embrace", no matter when they first got into the group. And we will get to see them "soon". Some thought that might be Mark Waid writing the new Legion twenty years after his previous run on the characters., But it seems not. But Joshua Williamson did call Mark Waid to get his blessing and/or permission, and got it before taking on this project, with Waid telling him that it was always going to be Williamson who would be doing this, one way or another.

Fucking good, that version, while admittedly having an interesting idea here and there(Monster Boy, X-Ray Girl, Danielle being the original Computo, bringing back New Earth, etc), it's soured by having terrible designs and a nothing "story".

You know damn well it's not gonna be the reboot, and it sure as hell also won't be the threeboot, and it most definitely won't be the Bendisboot.
They're most definitely just gonna use the classic Legion since that's what DC has been doing lately, debooting everything back to their original forms.
Maybe you'll see some additions from the other Legions, like maybe a Retroboot version of Gold Lantern, but it's clear that the bones are gonna be the classic one so that they can keep Superman's history with them.

They tried it with the Johnsboot and it sucked. It'll suck again because nobody but ancientfags has nostalgia for that version and Williamson is not even close to the writer than even an over the hill Levitz is. Threeboot killed the Legion completely.

The point of that story was to bring back the JSA and the Legion of Super-Heroes, but then Bendis came along with his horrible new Legion and fucked it all up, so they had to change the story into the classic Legion being erased and replaced by the Bendis Legion, which resulted in that awkward spread of Superman with the classic JSA and the Bendis Legion next to him.

I'd be interested in a Skottie Young DRAWN and written Zatanna or Demon, but that's about it. And I doubt that's what he's working on, he probably asked for and got the Batwank version so he could cross that garbage off his Bucket List.

Tamaki with a really good artist would be interesting on Zatanna but I suspect she will be on something I'll never read - a Lobo book that will feature a few panels of Crush, and mostly be set up for the Supergirl movie, or feature Kara in an adventure to suggest or indirectly promote the 2026 movie.

I don't really understand why that needed a whole maxi-series. The Legion is from the future. Just have the Founders show up at Clark's house in a Time Sphere and say they need his help with a thing. ... Which, come to think of it, it exactly how Retroboot started!

I remember in Jeff Parker's Exiles, he basically just said that all the versions of the Timebroker were real because the Timebroker was basically an aspect of multiversal time or something to that effect so the Exiles changing the timeline of universes would inevitably affect the Timebroker which is why it was constantly being retconned. That'd probably be the best way to treat the Time Trapper as well.

Parker is like the one writer I would trust with the Legion.

I already did see someone on Reddit express disappointment because at this announcement by declaring that a Hickman Legion run would have been better than any other Legion run which is completely insane because Legion's strong point has always been the dynamics of the large cast and Hickman can't write interesting characters with good and compelling dynamics.

People still have nostalgia for Vertigo and don’t remember how the 2015 and 2018 attempts flopped, Absolute is expanding to 8 titles, they just announced books with a bunch of fan favorite characters and Firestorm instead of 10 books with Batman, and the main Batman title just got a fresh writer that people haven’t decided is shit yet.

Meanwhile marvel is “killing” their Ultimate universe after just two years, they announced an event that takes cues from Rivals, and they announced some Spider-man/symbiote event with like 10 writers.

Really if DC could just fix a lot of their big main universe heroes (King off WW, getting a non filler team off Flash, etc) they’d be in really good shape in terms to quality and diversity in content.

I just don't give a shit about Ronnie and I especially won't care if it's more "wow, Ronnie and Jason are opposites can they get along" shit like Brightest Day and the N52 series.

I think Firestorm suffers from the fact that the core concept really requires a writer who's both smart enough to understand science or at least reasonably present comic booky theoretical science in a way that isn't dumb but who's creative enough to make it kind of trippy. Something like a sciency version of Silver Age/Bronze Age Doctor Strange.

Everything that Hickman is as a writer is antithetical to everything that makes the Legion enjoyable. He cannot do goofy soft sci-fi, everything is super serious. He cannot do dramatic, soap operatic character dynamics because his characters are merely robots that exist to move along his plots. Just like how he was an awful fit for the X-Men (Claremont 100% cribbed from Bronze Age Legion in style at least while Cockrum was on the book), he would be an equally terrible fit for the Legion.

>Muh sales
Good fuck. I blame movie fags for all this retarded shit. Like any of the fucktards here get a dime from any of these higher sales yet it's the only ammo any of these miserable ass lickers can throw out. No assertion of quality just a constant reminder that lowest common denominator are paint drinkers.

Snyder is a hack. Williamson is just a middling C-level writer promoted to A-level because the talent pool in western comics is so shallow now.

Jed MacKay but even he's had his misses (his team books because he's been given the short end with rosters and having them dragged into crossover hell).

>I hope Williamson doesn't copy one of Bendis' many flaws and try to cram everyone in every issue.
Right? Just pick a few to focus on for each issue.

And yet the stories being written thirty years later are objectively inferior.
