According to the writer, the bi-weekly series will not follow the storyline of its video game counterpart, which was released for PC and PS3 this week.
"The comic is not the events in the game; that would be redundant," he told CBR. "In the game, the players make their own stories, which is what MMOs do best.
"We can't assume the player's storyline as one player will be different from the next. Instead, we're playing off the hero and villain stories, Luthor's story. Brainiac's, Superman's, Batman's, etc. We're showing the story if you were to primarily follow the DC heroes only and not have your own adventures."
The scribe went on to say that the story will also feature characters created by Brainiac's exobytes - tiny bug-like creatures that absorb superheroes' powers and transfer them to other beings.
Co-written by Tony Bedard with artwork by Howard Porter and Adriana Melo, DC Universe Online: Legends debuts next month.
