TO SERVE AND PROTECT THE 30TH CENTURY

The Legion can't do it alone.

In the 30th century, only one organization rivals the Legion of Super-Heroes for dedication, skill, and the ability to protect innocents: the Science Police. But there's new competition for both the LSH and the S.P. — a super-group called the Ringers — and one S.P. veteran is tested as never before when he begins to suspect that they are not what they seem. The details are revealed in LEGION: SCIENCE POLICE, a 4-issue miniseries that explores life as a cop with the 30th century as your beat.

Written by David Michelinie (ACTION COMICS), with interior art by Paul Ryan (THE FLASH, SUPERMAN: THE MAN OF TOMORROW) and Joe Rubinstein (SUPERMAN) and covers by CHALLENGERS OF THE UNKNOWN's John Paul Leon and Bill Reinhold, LEGION: SCIENCE POLICE looks at the world of the S.P. from two very different perspectives — one, that of a veteran with a secret shame; the other, that of the teenaged sister of the late Legionnaire Leviathan, who has joined the Ringers with the best of intentions. As both the veteran and the Ringer begin to suspect the dark truth about this new super-team, each must make a decision that will change their lives... and possibly end them.

LEGION: SCIENCE POLICE is a 4-issue miniseries in the Mando Format, edited by Mike McAvennie. Issue #1 arrives in comic-book stores June 17 with a cover price of $2.25 U.S.

Two teams of heroes a millennium apart join forces in THE TITANS/LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES: UNIVERSE ABLAZE , an incredible 4- issue Prestige miniseries that's a labor of love for its creators: writer/penciller Dan Jurgens (AQUAMAN, SUPERMAN: THE DOOMSDAY WARS, Thor) and finisher Phil Jimenez (JLA/TITANS, THE INVISIBLES). And what Titans foe brings two of DC's longest-lasting super-teams together, spanning the centuries that separate them? None other than the supernatural cult leader Brother Blood! In THE TITANS/LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES: UNIVERSE ABLAZE #1, the 30th century's greaest defenders foil a robbery attempt at an Egyptian pyramid, only to discover an unexpected find from a somewhat less-ancient time: the cryogenically frozen bodies of Flash, Arsenal, Tempest, Troia, Omen, Argent, and Starfire! The mystery behind their thousand-year imprisonment lies with their archenemy Brother Blood, who has also returned after a millennium's slumber. As the Legionnaires help the Titans unravel the mystery of how their super-heroic careers came to an abrupt end, the time-swept heroes must come to terms with the fact that they may never see their friends and loved ones again. But they don't have much time to grieve, as the combined teams soon discover that the revival of both the Titans and Brother Blood is part of a larger plot.
