Oh , DC , this is very cockamamie . The safe news show first : a fresh comic anthology serial publication coming from the company brings back some minor DC heroes and , re - geminate some of them with their original originative talents . The spoiled news ? Said anthology is cite Legends of Tomorrow , despite bear nothing to do with the TV show .
Let ’s talk about the cool snatch first . The raw anthology serial publication will host stories based around Firestorm , Metamorpho , the Metal Men , and a reboot of the fifties kids characters Sugar and Spike that reimagines them as modern day P.I ’s in the DC macrocosm cleaning up the problems of major superheroes — all character that have n’t exactly had the most worth jive at the bat lately .
Even better , in Firestorm ’s case , he ’s being reunify with his original creator , writer Gerry Conway — simple month after the writer was engaged ina spat with DCover royal house paid to comics creatives . Sugar and Spike will be written by Keith Giffen , Bilquis Evely on art . Metamorpho will be pen by Aaron Lopresti with graphics by Lopresti and Matt Banning , Metal Men will be drop a line by Len Wein , with art from Yildiray Cinar and Trevor Scott , while Eduardo Pansica and Rob Hunter will provide art for Firestorm . All this voice very practiced , and an interesting way to wreak together characters who would probably never be able to prevail up their own ongoing series or miniseries these days .
… and then some bright spark decides to call it Legends of Tomorrow . Because # mark , I judge ?
Presumably , the reason it ’s called Legends of Tomorrow is so people find out Legends of Tomorrow who do n’t otherwise read comics see the name on a book ledge somewhere , get intrigued , and clean up an issue . But here ’s the problem with that : the moment they get past the front cover , they ’re going to be fantastically confused that this series — a really good - voice series , I must reiterate!—has nothing to do with the mathematical group of heroes they enjoy find out on TV , outside of the presence of Firestorm .
If someone who likes Legends of Tomorrow wants to read a Legends of Tomorrow comedian , they ’re locomote to want something that ’s at least vaguely standardized to what they ’re conversant with . They want the characters or the general scenario … not just literally the name slap on for shits and giggle .
It ’s the laziest attack to catch attention from the explosively democratic realm of lively - natural process superhero adaptation I ’ve escort in a foresighted time — which is a damn shame , consider the anthology itself seems like an interesting idea . Why give it such a pointless title ?
Legends of Tomorrow will be out in March , to capitalise on the then - ongoing premiere of the legend of Tomorrow TV show ’s first season … for no particular reason whatsoever .
