Jonathan Hickman is launching another DC pop-up imprint in the same vein as Young Animal and Wildstorm focusing exclusively on DC Cosmic. Along with Andy Khouri, the former editor of Omega Men and current editor of Suicide Squad and Green Arrow, will be shepherding the imprint alongside Hickman. Lee was particularly impressed by Khouri after working alongside him for Suicide Squad along with the impressive critical reaction to Omega Men.
The imprint will focus on Legion, REBELS, The Wanderers, and an Omega Men revival. Hickman is writing Legion, and Tom King is writing Omega Men. Si Spurrier, Rob Williams, and Ales Kot are also involved, but I don't know in what capacity.
Rumor comes from my LCS, House of Secrets in Burbank btw. It's a favorite of a lot of folks who work at DC and rumors are constantly going around. The last one I heard that was as much in detail as this was the Wildstorm revival, which turned out to be completely true.

I want to believe so fucking badly.
Joshua Lee
He's still Marvel exclusive tho user
He was at their last retreat around NYCC
Cameron Turner
His contract is as ironclad as anyone else's. Especially since he isn't fucking writing anything for Marvel.
Cooper Brooks
He was at their retreat but he's not doing any work for them and he visited DC HQ. Personally I think OP is full of shit but there's nothing stopping Hickman from doing it. I want this to be true badly. DC Cosmic has really suffered from only being the Rainbow Wars bullshit. I'd really like a focus on DC's alien cultures to happen.

Did he say he was exclusive?
Because he DID say after Secret Wars ended he wasn't interested in any big two work for a while, but he's joked about having DC stuff and DC contacting him a few times on twitter over the past couple months.
Though a few weeks ago he was thought as having a Wildstorm imprint book but that hasn't shown to be true, so he's probably just doing all his delayed Image books.

Hickman would be a terrible pick for Legion (of Super-Heroes). The only good thing in that line up is a continuation of Tom King's Omega Men, and even then only because it presumably follows on from the existing book.
If DC tries to make all of their cosmic stuff a horrible super-complex PTSD crawl it'll suck. Even LEGION/REBELS had a sense of humour. I don't believe this rumour - it sounds like a wishlist - but I do wish I understood where all the people shouting for Hickman on LoSH are coming from. Did they not read any of his long-plot Marvel stuff?

>The Wanderers That's pretty left-field, although if Cave Carson can get an ongoing, why not.
I'd prefer King on R.E.B.E.L.S and still not sold on Hickman Legion, but I trust Khouri Khomics
