Another pic. Legion of Superheroes? United Planets?

The Superman suit as it appears here is most likely a Kamandi reference.
OMAC, Batman Beyond, Kamandi, and the LoS. All are possible futures of the DCU.

Huh didn't realize that. Well if this is new books, its about time Batman Beyond got a new writer. Hopefully it does.
I give Legion and Batman Beyond a chance. I may get the rest, if they have good word of mouth around them.
Oh. All possible future. I didn't understand what's this is about at first, but okay. He can do what he wants, then. My concern is in the present ^^
I hope it's a new imprint like Wonder Comics.
The art is all new, right?
Sorrentino on Kamandi and Nguyen on Batman Beyond are perfect (so is Cheung on Omac, but I don't get excited when he's announced for a book because he never lasts more than 4 issues).
Does anybody recognize the artist drawing the Legion? Maybe Aaron Kuder? It's way harder to determine without human figures.
20 years later and it's time again to remind people that "Millennium" has a double-"nn" .... ;) The more you know...
One day more until we find out ... I am equal parts excited and trepidatious.

Red squiggly lines are my friend.
:D
I'm guessing it's a project setting a firm timeline of DC's future, between now and the year 3000 (hence a new millennium).
I wonder if this will be an "event" kind of thing or a new imprint.
Anyone else get some serious Talia vibes from that woman Terry is chasing? It's probably not her, but the resemblance could be deliberate.
Man, is it finally time for the Legion to come back? It's been too long...
Always down for some Komandi and OMAC :).

Add to that than the last hint includes Supergirl and (apparentelly) Booster Gold: [url]https://www.cbr.com/dcmillennium-bendis-teases-supergirl-dc-event/[/url]
DC Announces Legion of Super-Heroes: Millennium With Brian Michael Bendis & Ryan Sook
[URL="https://comicbook.com/dc/2019/06/13/brian-michael-bendis-ryan-sook-legion-of-super-heroes-millennium/"]https://comicbook.com/dc/2019/06/13/brian-michael-bendis-ryan-sook-legion-of-super-heroes-millennium/[/URL]
Brian Michael Bendis is rewriting the future of DC Comics in Legion of Super-Heroes: Millennium, a two-part, monthly comic that will feature an immortal protagonist moving through various disparate DC futures, ComicBook.com has learned exclusively. She will come out the other end on the doorstep of the Legion of Super-Heroes, leading into a new, ongoing series from Bendis and artist Ryan Sook. Along the way, Bendis will work with a number of artists who will examine how characters like Kamandi, OMAC, and Booster Gold fit into the broader context of the Legion. Among the artists involved will be superstars Jim Lee, Jim Cheung, Nicola Scott, and Dustin Nguyen.
Per DC, Millennium focuses on a most unlikely tour guide to the 31st century -- a familiar face to DC fans who finds herself suddenly immortal. As she learns to cope with her newfound immortality and the reason she was chosen for this quest, her 1,000-year odyssey will connect all of DC’s future timelines for the first time. Along the way she encounters a host of DC heroes from the future, as drawn by some of comics’ most popular artists. The first issue will introduce a near-future version of Supergirl, drawn by Jim Lee; Batman Beyond, drawn by Dustin Nguyen; Kamandi, drawn by Andrea Sorrentino; and Tommy Tomorrow, drawn by André Lima Araújo. Legion of Super-Heroes: Millennium #2 will bring Booster Gold, drawn by Nicola Scott; OMAC, drawn by Jim Cheung; A DC “off-world” chapter, drawn by Jeff Dekal; and finally the Legion of Super-Heroes, drawn by Sook. Bendis joined ComicBook.com to discuss Millennium, and to tee up what he has planned for the Legion of Super-Heroes going forward -- and why he thinks he needs to be around for quite a while.

So it's not a new imprint but basically a special leading to the return of the Legion and chronicling the different eras of the DCU.
Welp, Bendis on the Legion is finally happening.
I'm not crazy about Saturn Girl's new costume.

I'm honestly not liking any of them besides Shadow Lass. She looks really good.

I think Brainy and Cham are fine.
Cosmic Boy is near unrecognizable. Lightning Lad is a little too try-hard but at least his costume is basically, well, Lightning Lad.
Shadow Lass is definitely the coolest and probably the most interesting, visually.
Shadow Lass looks cool and Brainy and Cam look fine but the rest of the designs are just meh.

I got so use to long hair Brainy. Cham is fine but like Brainy im so used to him looking like a human but alien lol.
Lightning Lad just needs better hair but Cosmic Boy needs a whole redo.
Saturn Girl looks fine but I don't like her in red prefer pink. Also her suit looks basic.

I definitley think the main issue with Lightning Lad is the hair.

Yeah, it doesn't look anywhere near as distinctive as some of her other costumes.

Hey look, Martian Manhunter in his old costume and Wonder Woman in her classic look. Now the retro costume course feels complete :p.
(Is Wolfman/Perez NTT finally canon again?).

Every time I try to look at the costume designs for the legion, I get a full page ad for jc penny’s that I cam’t Get rid of. This needs to be posted someplace else.

I don't understand it. Two topics on the first page of the forum by two different posters and not one can spell Millennium--or simply copy and paste from the source. How hard is it to spell a word when you have it right in front of you? I will never forget that it's two Ls and two Ns.

Actually, it wouldn't surprise me if part of the problem (either CBR or Newsarama had an article where it was misspelled the whole time) was that Bendis himself spelled it wrong in his first Tweet and maybe they copy/pasted from his own post. (he corrected himself in a subsequent Tweet, but perhaps the damage had been done ;))

And they also reference Flashpoint with the Aquaman/Wonder Woman standoff. Hopefully things are shifting back to normal and this isn't just a case of the museum presenting their interpretation of past events that don't necessarily line up with the post-52, post-Rebirth continuity.

I hate that they keep trying to give every character a half fade haircut. I mean I get it, I have no problems with the cut itself but not everyone looks good with it. There are other modern hairstyles.

I like Shadow Lass and Cosmic Boy the most.
And finally! The Legion acknowledges the whole DC Universe and not just Superman! I have been wanting this for forever.
It's nice to see references to New Teen Titans, Teen Titans, Young Justice and the Justice League.
The art looks great, too.
I never liked Shadow Lass. She's the one character I never warmed to. I like the surround of Shadow Lass--her planet and her heritage--more than Tasmia herself. It always troubled me because I like Mon-El so much and she was his girl friend. A lot of other Legionnaires traded partners, so I was pretty mad that Mon-El continued to hang out with Shadow Lass. But in the last Levitz Legion there seemed to be some suggestion that all his time in the Phantom Zone did things to Lar Gand's psyche--so I could understand why he would want to be around such a downbeat character as Shadow Lass. She always depressed me. And she was supposed to die. One of my favourite characters of all time, Lyle Norg, bought the biscuit and yet Tasmia Mallor is still walking around--she should be dead.
