Legion of Super-Heroes: 31st Century

The series focuses on a most unlikely tour guide to the 31st century. She;’s a familiar face to DC fans who finds herself suddenly immortal. She learns to cope with her newfound immortality and the reason this quest is her destiny. Her 1,000-year odyssey will connect all of DC’s future timelines for the very first time. Along the way she encounters a host of DC heroes from the future, as drawn by some of comics’ most popular artists. Legion of Super-Heroes: 31st Century will feature:

  • Supergirl, drawn by Jim Lee
  • Batman Beyond, drawn by Dustin Nguyen
  • Kamandi, drawn by Andrea Sorrentino
  • Tommy Tomorrow, drawn by André Lima Araújo 

“Since its Silver Age origin, the Legion of Super-Heroes has been the cornerstone of the future DC Universe. 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.”
