And more!
- Bleeding Cool thinks there might be a Legion panel. DC is spotlighting the 1950s, and the Legion was created in 1958, of course. And there's a new series coming up in September, with the Superman Annual coming out the same week as the convention.
- Here's a little teaser from Williamson and Sherman on the Legion.
- There are at several new "Supergirl & the LSH" #23 unofficial variant covers for sale on Preview Night, all through ANZ Collects and all on eBay Live. You may recall a couple of other unofficial variants of this issue were sold at the 2023 SDCC.
- Here's an Instagram post showing all five covers, by Kyu Yong Eom (gold virgin foil, limited to 250), Nathan Szerdy (silver virgin foil, limited to 350), a generic logo (virgin foil, limited to 650), Ariel Diaz (virgin, limited to 850), and David Nakayama (trade, limited to 900).
- On Threads, Hayden Sherman said "I’m told there will also be a LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES ashcan!"
- Plus, of course Legion World is going to be there again! Look for their booth in the Mezzanine level. Here's their post with all the details.
