LSH volume 9? Coming this summer!

In the only news around here that really matters, the ComicsPRO retailer event this week in California FINALLY gave us something about the upcoming new series. If you'll recall, we found out in October that there's going to be a new series coming sometime in 2026, written by Josh Williamson.... and that's all we found out.

Well, this week we at least got a time frame: what looks like early summer. As Bleeding Cool reports, this is one of DC's All-In publishing event, which (amazingly) has been going on and selling amazingly for the last couple of years, most recently as "Next Level". 

Note that the logo seen here is not necessarily what will be used on the new book, as all five of the logos are from older books. But at least we know early summer! (No artist announced yet, though.)

The big question is who will star in this book. I think it's going to be "everyone". Did you catch this from the "New History of the DC Universe" last year? 

"The champions of the galaxy during this era are the Multiversal Legion of Super-Heroes, a massive group of super-powered alien teenagers from across the Multiverse comprising various alternate-Earth teams who move through this reality as needed."

That sounds like the pitch for a new team that's comprised of the Retroboot Legion, the Reboot Legion, the Threeboot Legion, and the Rebirth Legion. And I think that's who's going to star in the new book. But who's left? Is it only those who are left alive at the end of the DC KO storyline? Will Darkseid's Legion be defeated and turned into good guys? Will the dead be resurrected? We'll find out sometime early this summer, I guess!

A few years back, I did an exercise to figure out what the new series would be in terms of a legacy number. By my way of thinking, volume 9 issue 1 would be legacy #672, and this would have to last 29 issues in order to get to legacy #700.
