Adventure Comics *potential spoilers*

[Jason1Kent]

Seems we will have Adventure comics and then Superboy and the Legion. This is fantastic!! Bart and Conner back, all is good in teh DC Universe again. Including the Captain Atom back-up in Action which I am looking forward to. Its like they realised that after Identidy Crisis, the Universe was in good shape so are returning and going forward, ONWARDS!

How did they get legal rights on the Superboy name again?

Where did you hear about the Superboy book?

How did they get legal rights on the Superboy name again?

On June 28, 2008, Dan Didio said in reference to Legion of Three Worlds at the Wizard World Chicago convention, “We’ve got Geoff, we’ve got George, we’ve got SuperBOY Prime (yes, we can say that again).”

Thats from wiki - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superboy#Legal_status

They're probably paying the Schusters the money they should be paying them. It's the best deal for everyone because fighting a family for the character you stole to begin with is a PR nightmare.

I don't think there was a formal ruling beyond that the estate of Jerry Siegel owns the copyright. I don't think that the case has been settled out of court or anything. Thus either DC and WB are paying the estate, or they are just being allowed to use the name now when their lawyers said no before.

You got another link there Jason? Cause the only info I've found about this is the above from Geoff Johns site. There he says "Adventure Comics" will star Superboy with a Legion co-feature in the back. Nothing about two separate books. That's why they're calling it "Adventure Comics" and not "Superboy"

If DC has the Superboy rights back, I want a Superboy (original) Showcase!

So appropriate, considering how many dozens of years Adventure Comics was indeed "starring Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes", and was set up like an anthology with a few co-features each issue.

The only thing that could make it better ...

22 pages of Adventure starring Superboy every month, with 10 pages of ALTERNATING Legion or Aquaman backups, all written by the same Johns. With the potential for Superboy to jump into the future and run around with the Legion backup while Aquaman takes center-stage for a few issues ...

If they have the superboy name back , then bring back the real superboy. Since they re-established that superman had been superboy and had hanged out with the legion , they should have stories about those days.

Arguably, there will be quite a bit of that during Geoff Johns and Gary Frank's Superman: Secret Origin mini in the coming year.

[Jason1Kent]

hopefully Bart will make an appearence in Adventure but I think Superboy and the Legion will be seperate comic. It makes sense as Adventure would be more other characters in solo adventures etc.

Yep. Issue two of which features Superboy on it predominantly.
