Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities New History of the DC Universe 2025

So kind of JSA related. Mark Waid announced they're doing a NEW History of the DC Universe mini to try to straighten out the history AGAIN.

It looks like they're putting Diana back in the Justice Society, and a variant cover by Scott Koblish has got characters such as the original Wildfire, the Clock, and even Lady Luck

I was going to start a thread about this.

While Waid is a bit hit or miss, I'm glad to see someone taking on this project of straightening out the continuity. Let's hope it kind of lasts for a while before the next reboot.

This is incredible.

Wow! Who's the artist?

EDIT: Is that the Scott Koblish variant cover that Sarky mentioned?

Also, Action Comics #1 Superman, Detective Comics #27 Batman, Detective #38 Robin, and classic Marvel Family. I wouldn't read too much into that.

Yeah.

Okay, thanks, EDE.

Sometimes I don't pay enough attention.

It wasn't obvious. In fact, I didn't realize it was the one Sarky mentioned until I posted it.

Ah, that makes me feel better. Thanks, EDE.

(EDE already posted one of the pics, but I thought I'd put them all here for posterity.)

They're all pretty awesome.

I wonder if Lady Luck's going to have an actual role this time or it'll be a repeat of... w-whatever was going on when they tried it during the New 52.

I'm looking forward to the imminent Bubby and Beevil spinoff!

*Gasp*! Finally found Mr. Weed, who I've been looking for since I first saw the cover!

So I'd argue that he's overall a hit more than a miss (his Legion misses have been due to the DC Back Orifice), I feel like this is an exercise in madness.

As someone who's tried to just do HALF of ONE VERSION of the Legion's timeline, its a journey worthy of H.P. Lovecraft.

I'm - undecided. I was just getting used to (attempting) not to worry about continuity with the current stories, particularly with Waid's World Finest title which is internally consistent but doesn't fit easily into Pre-Crisis/Post-Crisis/Rebirth/whatever. OTOH I like continuity so I am looking forward to it. Still I have to wonder how long it will last.

On balance I think I am enthused and will just try to enjoy it fir what it is - 2025's version of DC History (more specifically Waid's version of it).
