This is not the kind of book you would normally see DC announce. The character in question, Matter-Eater Lad is a relative obscurity in the canon of the DC Universe, relegated to being a side character in the Legion of Super-Heroes. It’s an interesting choice because it means DC giving the Legion greater momentum than they have in the past. It is written by Dan Jurgens, known for his work on Booster Gold with art by Greg Land and Esad Ribic. Below is the solicitation text.
