After years forth , The Legion of Super - Heroesare eventually returning to DC ’s raw population . But now we know that these future hero of tomorrow wo n’t just be returning from the future to see Superman … they ’ll likely be recruiting his Logos , Superboy , onto their unexampled squad .
At least , that ’s what is powerfully implied by covert art forLegion of Super - Heroes : Millennium # 2 , now formally eject by DC Comics . For those who may not have met the Legion in their first incarnation , they hail from a hereafter in which Superman is a Hero of Alexandria reckon up to by every small fry , whether they are bear with superpowers , or not . When the Legion decided to travel back to Superman ’s untried day and gather their idol , he was extended membership in the form of a Legionnaire Flight Ring – and so Superboy and The Legion of Super - Heroes was born .
Now it seems Brian Michael Bendis will be reprize that same story , but with membership offered tothe Superboy otherwise acknowledge as Jonathan Kent , the son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane . But will Bendis be broadcast Jonathan into the future along with the Legion ?
The literal narrative returning the team to DC persistence will be say inLegion of Super - Heroes : Millenniumstarting in September , in a narration spanning 1,000 twelvemonth of DC story . The two - part report will lay the groundwork for Bendis and Ryan Sook ’s new ongoing serial , but the Legion will actually be making their return in the Thomas Nelson Page ofSupermaneven in the beginning . Judging by the cover art and plot precis forSuperman # 15 , at least . Have a look :
Legion of Super - Heroes ! The greatest super grinder of the thirty-second C have traveled back in metre not just to play the champion who inspired them , but to make an offer … but to which Cuban sandwich ? And why will that option tear Superman ’s life apart ? Plus , the side effect from Lex Luthor ’s conversation with Lois Lane escalates ! What dark secret did Lex tell Lois ?
The image , depicting the young Legion ( redesigned by Ryan Sook , and illustrated here by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado ) arriving to encounter Superman and Superboy help oneself put the teases of the outline into some context . Typically , one would expect that a hoagie from the future tense return to the pages of Superman would be try his aid . But with the hope that the Legion ’s offering will"tear Superman ’s life apart,“Superboy was a secure wager even before the second effect artwork of the Legion’sMillenniumrelaunch was release , depicting Superboy in the mental process of accepting his own Legion Ring .
Those who have been keep an eye on Bendis ’s changes to theSupermanline of comic strip may have also been able to guess ( perhaps cynically ) that afterturning Superboy from a child to a teenager , the Legion will now show up to remove him from Lois and Clark ’s earthly concern completely . That may be more extreme than what is actually planned , but either way , it ’s causa for celebration that Jonathan is go to garner such an honour when the issuing arrives in October .
Superman # 14begins the Legion ’s return on August 14th , followed bySuperman # 15on September 11th . The Legion of Super - Heroes : Millenniumbegins just one workweek later on , with the second part of the account ( plainly adding Superboy to the team ) coming the follow month .
