During a DC Comics panel at Baltimore Comic Con, in response to a fan query, it was revealed that one of the panelists on stage would be writing a new Legion of Super-heroes titles. That means one of the below will be helmoing a new LOSH book for DC Comics Rebirth era.

– Dan DiDio
– Dan Jurgens
– Tom King
– Hope Larson
– James Tynion IV
– Keith Giffen
– Paul Levitz
– Yannick Paquette

Considering his success with Omega Men and his current excellent Batman run, my money’s on writer Tom King.

It is also being reported that Jim Lee may be the artist or an artist on the new series after his commitments to DC Rebirth’s Suicide Squad are completed.

Me? While I love Jim Lee art, I’d prefer Gary Frank drawing the series.
