DC Comics writer Brian Michael Bendis recently revealed that he, along with some of the publisher's biggest artists, would relaunch the Legion of Super-Heroes. The fan-favorite super team from the future has been mostly missing from DC's books for a very long time, and readers are excited at the prospect of their return.

However, traces of the Legion of Super-Heroes have recently been seen in Geoff Johns and Gary Frank's Doomsday Clock. Therefore, as the rest of DC's books are about to align with the Watchmen-related event series, fans are wondering how (and if) the new Legion of Super-Heroes book would be connected to Doomsday Clock, or if Johns and Frank's series wouldn't have much of an effect on the relaunch.

Appearing on the From the Word Balloon podcast, Bendis put those worries to rest by confirming that the upcoming Legion of Super-Heroes relaunch would organically follow the events of Doomsday Clock.

"I can speak for other creators as well -- I deeply apologize for being so vague and coy about Doomsday Clock. We're not being vague and coy about it behind the scenes. It will all line up at the end, alright? Just to make it very clear, my respect for Geoff [Johns] and Gary [Frank] goes back for decades, and this is a story they started telling before I walked in the door [at DC]. So this is not -- there's not an ounce of my body that would do anything to counter or disrespect the path that they're on.

"As a shared universe writer, my job is, wherever this lands, we will follow. But because we're still coy about it... and then this is the thing where Twitter is not a good way to answer these questions because, you know, you need to hear all these words. And all the words are, it will all matter when it all comes together. But anything else I say sounds like a big spoiler to me, so I'm not gonna say anything else."
