DC Universe – Rebirth #1 dropped a hint that the Legion of Super Heroes would be a part of the era; we saw a glimpse of a mysterious girl with a Legion flight-ring, who’d come to our time looking for Superman. As Batman #9 revealed, this girl – who seems to be Saturn Girl – has wound up in Arkham Asylum. The plot’s been a slow-burner, running in the background of the Rebirth era.

Until, that is, the current Justice League vs. Suicide Squad miniseries. This revealed that the Emerald Empress, a classic Legion villain, has traveled to the present day in pursuit of Saturn Girl. In #4, the Emerald Empress wound up going head-to-head with the Green Lanterns, and it didn’t go well for her; she wound up fleeing, declaring that she had to find Saturn Girl. Superman described her as a problem for another day, and DC dropped in a note to tell us that would happen soon, in the pages of Supergirl.

The Emerald Empress’s appearance told fans that the Legion arc is about to come to a head. What this will mean for the Legion is anyone’s guess, but it’s sure to include a new Legion of Super Heroes series!

These are just some of the thrills we can expect from the second year of DC’s Rebirth. The first 12 months have been an incredible success – but it’s only the setup for what’s to come. From Justice League of America to Legion of Super Heroes, we can surely expect 2017 to be filled with even more eye-catching thrills and superhero hijinks!
