7 Things To Expect From DC’s Rebirth Year 2

5) More Legacy Heroes

Super Sons isn’t the only response DC is making to Marvel’s ‘Legacy Heroes.’ Spinning out of the current Justice League vs. Suicide Squad, the upcoming Justice League of America series is one of the most hotly-anticipated books of 2017. With a very unusual team consisting of Batman, Lobo, Black Canary, the Ray, the Atom, Vixen and Killer Frost, and written by the talented Steve Orlando, it promises to change nature of the DC universe.

Both Justice League of America – The Atom – Rebirth #1 and Justice League of America – Vixen – Rebirth #1 have set up a distinct ‘Legacy Hero’ vibe. The books have even added the diversity element to the book; the new Atom is a Chinese student of Ray Palmer’s, while Vixen is an African celebrity who longs to use her money to do good.

This isn’t the only book to have a distinct ‘Legacy Hero’ vibe, though. Take the phenomenal Green Lanterns, written by none other than Sam Humphries. It stars Jessica Cruz and and Simon Baz, the latest ring-bearers, who’ve stepped up to become members of the Justice League.
