Paul Levitz goes Back to the Future with the Legion!
DC continues to wow us with revelation after revelation this week. Today they announced a new Legion of Super Heroes title will be hitting shelves this spring! Written by former Legion scribe, Paul Levitz (Great Darkness Saga), the new series is illustrated by “rising artist” Yildiray Cinar (Noble Causes, Teen Titans). The piece was short on details but included all these wonderful images, including a sketch version of the cover to the first issue and studies for the founding Legionnaires and the HQ clubhouse. Paul spoke to io9 about the project…

Levitz had THIS to say about returning to familiar Legion territory:
It’s such fun to be back in the future, blowing up planets, undoing Legion marriages, revealing unrevealed factoids, and starting improbable new relationships. If there’s a better job in comics than writing the Legion, with its vast cast and creative opportunities, I’ve never held it.

The Legion has had SO many reboots that I’m looking forward to a new version based on the Legion we were reintroduced to in Action Comics… Superman and the Legion of Super Heroes. Now that they’ve established the various reboots as Legions from alternate Earths, we can get back to what has happened to the original Legion since we stopped watching! Lets hope we see the relationship between Element Lad and Shavaugn Erin again. Perhaps we’ll learn more about Dawnstar’s girlfriend?
