Only one of the comic news sites, CBR, carried the one bit of Legion news to come out of day one at the Heroes Convention in Charlotte, NC today. During the DC Nation panel Dan DiDio had this to say when asked if there any plans for the 50th anniversary of the Legion of Super Heroes coming next year:
quote:DiDio confirmed there were plans for the Legion next year, and also that the Legion characters currently appearing in the "Lightning Saga" storyline in "JLA" and "JSA" will be making an appearance in "Action Comics" soon.
I just wish they'd hurry up and tell us where the major celebration is happening. I can't imagine it would be anywhere but SDCC but you never know.

all right! at least they're not teasing-and-abandoning us with JLA/JSA.
The more I think on it, reintro-ing young Clark's LSH history has to have reasonably permanent implications.

Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but it seems to me that DC is at least tinkering with the notion of managing and expanding the Legion brand-name, instead of letting lapse into obscurity. I don't think it just the upcoming 50th anniversary.
They must look at Marvel's success with the <insert adjective here> X-<insert noun here> strategy and wonder what properties they have that they could expand with similar success.
JLA/JSA/Titans/the Legion is a pretty awesome inventory. Surely DC can come up with a strategy for developing all four brand-names without cannibalizing their own sales. (Well, maybe not.)
I'm curious to see how the WaK Legion and the 2007 JLA/JSA crossover Legion fit in the multiverse. Maybe 2008 will bring us a Legion/Legion crossover. : )

This could be anything from a new series to a mini to just the announced appearance of this Legion in Action Comics. Any way, though, I'd be happy to see more of them.
And if DC doesn't cash in on the Legion's 50th anniversary they are idiots. Michael just posted a reminder out over in the Omnicom that the Legion is the first super-powered team of the Silver Age. They predate everyone. They need to have a media blitz to the point where we're all sick of the Legion.

Heh, that was me who started that thread! Yes it worked! Somebody has to give DC a kick in the pants! Maybe we should all email them about the Legion's 50th! Legion Worlders Unite! Assemble! Um, transform?

You guys realize Newsarama has a "Meta Refresh" tag and reloads automatically every few minutes without your intervention, don't you?

Yeah but I think we are jumping the gun. Depending on the time Geoff posted that we may be waiting on a Friday article.
