Bendis’ teases on Twitter were titillating to Legion fandom.

It all kicks off September 19 with Legion of Super-Heroes: Millennium #1, the first of a two-issue monthly limited series setting the stage – and paving the way for a 31st Century future connecting all of DC’s future timelines. That’s right, the future’s of Kamandi, Booster Gold, OMAC, Tommy Tomorrow, and Legion of Super-Heroes will all be incorporated into one unified continuity timeline. 

“The series focuses on a most unlikely tour guide to the 31st century, a familiar face to DC fans who finds herself suddenly immortal,” reads DC’s description. “As she learns to cope with her newfound immortality and the reason she was chosen for this quest, her 1,000-year odyssey will connect all of DC’s future timelines for the very first time.”

“Since its Silver Age origin, the Legion of Super-Heroes has been the cornerstone of the future DC Universe,” said Bendis. “Over time, a wealth of future characters and stories have emerged since the Legion’s beginnings and connecting these threads to an updated version of the Legion is a story Ryan and I can’t wait to tell.”

Long live the Legion!
