With the Beta for DC Universe Online ending tonight and the game releasing next Tuesday, you would almost expect news to stop filtering in about the game. However that's not the case. A comic series is going to be released that will explain the back story to the game which will explain how the universe of the game came to be how it is, and how Lex Luthor is actually in charge. The first issue will hit comic shops and digital format for your PSP and at the DC Comics online store sometime in February, but for now we have a teaser of the first issue.

Written by the legendary Marv Wolfman and Tony Bedard, and drawn by the team of Howard Porter, Livesay, Adriana Melo, Norman Lee, and Mike S. Miller and with covers by Ryan Sook, Ed Benes, Ivan Reis, and more, DC Universe Online LEGENDS will be a 26 part bi-weekly series. Check out our gallery for four pages from the first issue.
