Welcome to the House of Kent! Superman?s truth is out there?and now it?s time to rewrite the rules! The invisible mafia has taken advantage of the chaos that?s descended on Metropolis, so the House of Kent is going to talk to them in a language they?ll understand. It?s a new adventure featuring Superman like you?ve never seen him?or them?before, in a story guest-starring Supergirl and two?yes, two!?Superboys!

I really dig the quilt cover, at least in concept. Most of the images appear to be recycled, though.

And Lightning Twins, when Ayla is clearly Light Lass and not Lightning Lass? Meh.

I do like that Computo is on the cover, cementing her place as a full-fledged Legionnaire. At least we got someone from a later version of the Legion on the team!

I love the logos they used. It gives a degree of individuality to the Legionnaires.

So, I'm assuming there will be an updated cover or the previous issue in this format as well? If we have 16 more, that'll give us an official roster of 33.

I also love the logos - It makes me wonder what comics would have been like if there were minis for each individual Legionnaire (or various groupings)

Bendis has revealed a poster teasing the story The Trial of the Legion of Super-heroes in issues #8 and 9 and the list of all the artists that will work on it:

Yeah, the Timber Wolf, Karate Kid and Brainiac 5 fonts are pretty on-theme. I kind of wish the Dawnstar, Chameleon Boy and White Witch titles were a little more evocative, 'though. Something with three overlapping different colored logos could have been fun for Triplicate Girl, for instance. Gah, now I want to design a custom logo for everyone, but lack any sort of skill in that area... Ah, well, those who can't do, criticize, and that's me.

I believe the Timber Wolf and Karate Kid (as well as Cosmic Boy) are just recycled from their own series.

Bendis is teasing what's to come this fall in the Superman, Action Comics and LOSH titles:

The legend to the picture for LOSH reads: New Love! New Krypton! New Lanterns! above a picture that shows Superboy and Saturn Girl about to kiss!

Edit: From Ryan Sook's page, The picture in question is the cover for issue #10! Here is a better version of it as Ryan Sook shares the creation process:

I'm always in awe of Ryan Sook's art. The Legion has a tradition of ridiculously good artists and Sook definitely doesn't drop that ball and is up there with the very best.

DC Comics is showing a preview of next month's Action Comics #1025.

Here's the regular cover to LSH #9 with trade dress via DC Nation on Twitter. I was wondering how they were going to pull this off based on the cover design.



And here's the line up, also via Twitter.



Here's the alternate cover with trade dress -

I wonder if winged Dawnstar is a result of Projectra's illusions? or maybe Dawny is in the VR room...?

The way this series is going, she'll just suddenly have real wings with no explanation!

Seriously, my guess is that she's actually lost her "real" wings at some point, ala Bounty.

I wish this had a better writer, the art is sooo pretty.....I just can't with Bendis' conversations that take 3/4 of an issue and where every character's voice sounds the same
