LEGENDS OF TOMORROW Anthology Series Coming To DC Comics
With the popularity of DC Entertainment television programs at an all-time high, the publishing side has decided to use this to their advantage by releasing an anthology series for the upcoming DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. An anthology series is a great way to familiarize the audience with your product, especially since Legends of Tomorrow will star many supporting characters from Arrow and The Flash that normally do not get a lot of screen time.
On a closer look at the roster, however, and some questions must be raised. Besides Firestorm, none of the other heroes are set to appear on Legends of Tomorrow (at least that we know about so far). Could it be a case that WB/DC is saving Metamorpho and the Metal Men as surprise guests? Hawkman/Hawkgirl, Captain Cold, and The Atom should be the ones starring in this series.
So, will you be picking up the anthology series? Let us know in the Comments section below.
Announcing DC Entertainment’s LEGENDS OF TOMORROW Anthology Series!
This new anthology series will reunite several characters from DC Comics’ rich history with the writers that made them fan favorites: Gerry Conway returns to Firestorm, Len Wein will handle the writing chores on Metal Men, Aaron Lopresti will pen Metamorpho, while the always interesting Keith Giffen puts his own unique spin on one of DC’s more offbeat titles, Sugar & Spike.
FIRESTORM, written by Gerry Conway with art by Eduardo Pansica and Rob Hunter:
Firestorm is back! To save Jason Rausch, Firestorm will need to retrieve Danton Black’s stolen research from Professor Stein’s lab. But if Jason can’t fuse with Ronnie by the Firestorm Protocol…who can?
METAL MEN, written by Len Wein with art by Yildiray Cinar and Trevor Scott:
Doctor Will Magnus’ Metal Men may be the next step in robotics technology, but when the mysterious cyber-terrorist known only as Nameless comes after them, they may have met their match!
METAMORPHO, written by Aaron Lopresti with art by Aaron Lopresti and Matt Banning:
Metamorpho—a prisoner of millionaire industrialist Simon Stagg! Now, the only person who can save him is Stagg’s beautiful daughter, Sapphire!? But can they defeat Stagg’s prehistoric bodyguard, Java?
SUGAR & SPIKE, written by Keith Giffen with art by Bilquis Evely:
The last time we saw Sugar and Spike, they were still in diapers! Now, they’re grown up, and they’ve become private investigators who specialize in cleaning up embarrassing problems for the DCU’s greatest heroes. Sugar & Spike’s first assignment: retrieve a cache of Batman’s retired costumes that have been stolen by Killer Moth!
LEGENDS OF TOMORROW #1, with cover artwork by Aaron Lopresti (see attached image) will be on sale March 9th, 2016 with 80 pages at $7.99 US.
