The Source has released the cover to the first issue of May’s upcoming Legion of Super-Heroes #1 from Paul Levitz and rising artist Yildiray Cinar – I’m not sure if this is an alternate cover and the one they released pencils for is the main cover or vice versa. Time will tell.
If you read Final Crisis Legion of Three Worlds, then you know about the fate of the last of the GL Corps in the future… Legion of Super-Heroes resident Green Lantern Rond Vidar (son of Universo) was killed by Superboy-Prime and his ring returned to the only remaining Guardian… Daxamite Sodam Yat!
So whose hand is that with a Green Lantern ring AND a Legion flight ring? Is Sodam Yat joining up? Do we get a new future Lantern now that Yat has sent rings out to recruit a new GL Corps? Or will it be a familiar face with a new power. I can’t wait until May to find out!!! Everything I hear about this says this WILL be the Legion from Legion of 3 Worlds and THAT Legion (which was reintroduced in the recent Action Comics Lightning Saga) is the very same from original continuity (before all Crisis/Zero Hour etc reboots – which were established as the Legions of the Multiverse).
Be sure to check out Yildiray Cinar’s sketches of the 3 founding Legionaries if you missed them previously. I like his interpretations of the Gary Frank designed Saturn Girl, Lightning Lad and Cosmic Boy and look forward to seeing the whole gang in action.

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?
