The Source has announced today that there will be a second weekly ongoing series coming from DC in addition to the bi-weekly Brightest Day. Inspired by the success of 52, DC has announced a book that will take place in the universe of the upcoming DCU Online, entitled DC: Legacies.
History was made in the DCU a few years back with the launch of 52, a weekly, year-long series filling in the gap of time between INFINITE CRISIS and ONE YEAR LATER. Since then, the weekly series has been a staple for the DCU. So what could we possibly do to keep the things fresh and exciting?
How about a weekly series set in the world of DC UNIVERSE ONLINE, SONY ONLINE ENTERTAINMENT’S upcoming Massive Multiplayer Online Action Game? Well, there you have it.
DC UNIVERSE: LEGENDS will run weekly and exist in the same world as the game. Can there be a more perfect companion? Probably not.
Not entirely jazzed about it, but it’s interesting. I’ll be honest, I plan on picking up a copy of DCU Online. I did an interview with one of the designers when I went to E3, and I did an article on what I knew and what I’d seen. The game itself will be partially written by Geoff Johns and Marv Wolfman, so I can only imagine who will write the book. I guess as we know more, we’ll present more, but right now we don’t know much. It’s an interesting concept, but I personally can’t imagine the execution being all to entertaining for myself.
