Guys

Bendis writing third draft of LoSH pilot.

Durla gets mentioned in some dialogue in an upcoming Dark Crisis tie-in issue by a young John Kent, according to previews.

grumble.....

Nia Nal (Dreamer) showed up in this Tuesday's issue of Superman: Son of Kal-El #13. Jon gives her special gloves that control her powers, which were given to him by the Bendis Legion's Dream Girl, who told him they would meet.

Dreamer again in the recent issue of Superman: Son of Kal-El #14. She does nothing Legion related. However...

Jon's boyfriend Jay was given a Legion Ring and a suit "from the future" by Jon. The suit kinda-maybe-sorta has the first Phantom Girl's look/vibe to it with being mostly solid white, but with white and blue instead of white and black. And Jay has original recipe Phantom Girl's powers. The cover also refers to Jay with the "new" superhero name Gossamer, which SW6 Ayla used during the Five Years Later era.

So now there is a Gossamer flying around with a Legion ring and a suit from the 31st century, though maybe not in the way most Legion fans may have ever predicted...

And it gets 2 full pages with large panels and little dialogue. Kinda feels like it is supposed to be important.

Or just alluding to marriage? The more of this series I read, the more I get the impression bad things are going to happen to Jay.

GIRD YOUR LOINS, EVERYONE.

(Spoilers for Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths, the current crisis event)

The two relevant Legion parts that are said to come out of the DCoIE:


I know Bleeding Cool isn't considered a "dignified" source by many, but when it comes to inside info about DC events like this Rich Johnston has a stellar record of revealing things before they happen.

gasp! the first part of the spoiler made me sit up and take notice... that is awesome news and makes me very happy

and the second bit... huh. the 3 already featured before, plus the new one?

Well that is infamously on Batman's board, but yes.

Is this why they wouldn't let me and Devin use the classic Legionnaires in DC Pride?

DC keeps trying to slip these Legion references by me, but I'm more obsessed than they think I am. There is a one-shot coming out after Flashpoint Beyond called The New Golden Age. Check out the exclusive here:

Look at the Mike Allred variant cover, the one with Rip Hunter and Batman. The year 3024 appears four times in the background. If we follow most modern-day Legion "rules", this would likely be the current year of whichever Legion is currently canon, so they will probably zip by the Legion's time. And since Geoff Johns is writing it, it probably won't be the Bendisboot that they visit...

I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

EDIT:

I was right! Here is the press release:

https://www.dc.com/blog/2022/08/18/the-new-golden-age-from-dc-starts-this-november

Relevant part:

“I’m happy to be writing these two titles, each one of them focused on celebrating and expanding the history (and far future) of heroism in the DC Universe, exploring unseen heroes, villains and adventures alongside the ones we all know and love,” said Geoff Johns. “Our goal is to delve into the neglected corners of DC with this new group of titles, from the JSA to the Legion, and all those who operate between. It’s the story of where superheroes came from, where they’re going and why they’re always needed.”

That means a new Legion book is confirmed!

Thanks for the updates Alexander

November is so far away. But I guess that gives Legion vs Justice League time to finish.

Now that I think on it, the delays for LvJL might be tied to Johns' Legion stories, with some last minute rewrites happening. I suspect the ending of that series will tease November's Legion story.

Some variant covers for November (I think?) will have a 90s theme. Here is the cover to Flash 788:

Wally and Wallace are in the front, with various background characters wearing shirts with logos that remind of other characters. Booster and Blue Beetle, Liberty Bell and Hourman, etc. And then there is a blond girl with a pink saturn planet logo on her shirt. Its the same pink logo that Saturn Girl had on the cartoon series.

Thanks, Alexandar, really appreciate you sharing all the news!

A preview for Flashpoint Beyond #5.

We see the blackboard clearly now. The Legion-specific part now reads:


This isn't really new information, but a confirmation of what Bleeding Cool said previously. I do find it odd though that all of the time-altering villain line-ups never include Glorith or Timer Trapper. Maybe its because Glorith wiped herself from the timeline so no one remembers her? Or because they mostly screw with the future?

Wow, that's very interesting.

Color me extremely interested in where they are taking this having that particular earth called out.

The preview for Teen Justice #5 is out. Teen Justice takes place on Earth-11 where the central "gimmick" is that everyone is gender-swapped compared to the main Earth.

https://bleedingcool.com/comics/multiversity-teen-justice-5-preview-soylent-green-lanterns/

And on the last page we see that XS's male counterpart on Earth-11 is called XL and has a similar outfit with the same logo.

With a name like XL, I'd definitely expect the character to be a size-changer/giant, and not a speedster!

Although I could see some post-twitter speedster with a name like XLR8.

XS = Excess
XL = Excel

I assume.

Xcel was the name of XS's Amalgam counterpart

So, Legion reference again in Flashpoint Beyond but not in a way you'd expect

I was just about to pop in with this!
