Moss: 'Adventure Comics, Superman linked'

DC Comics assistant editor Wil Moss has revealed that a series of stories in Adventure Comics will help "set the stage" for next year's Superman event.

Fans have been unsure about DC's plans for Adventure Comics after Geoff Johns and artist Francis Manapul left to take over Flash.

However, Moss explained that Adventure Comics #8 is to be the start of a four-issue arc connecting the series to the next big Superman story. Called Brainiac And The Legion Of Super-Heroes, it is being written and drawn by various creative teams already working on books related to the character.

Moss told fans through DCComics.com: "The Superman writers have crafted a really fun and epic story in Brainiac And The Legion Of Super-Heroes, which will run in Adventure, Superman, Supergirl and a title, to be named later, in March.

"Featuring Superman, Supergirl, Superboy, Mon-El and the Legion of Super-Heroes, it not only brings to a head all the Legion subplots that DC has been laying down since the JLA/JSA Lightning Saga story, but also sets the stage for this summer’s blockbuster Superman event."
