Sony Online Entertainment's next big MMO game release looks to be the long awaited DC Universe Online. The super hero game, set in the same world with Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and the other members of the DC Universe, already has a number of DC talent working on the game including Jim Lee on art direction and Marv Wolfman and Geoff Johns contributing to the game's storyline.

Today DC Comics announced a major bombshell when it revealed on their Source blog page that they plan to produce a new weekly comic book series based on DC Universe Online. The comic will be called DC Universe Legends and in a chat with DC Comics' editor Dan DiDio on IGN he revealed that veteran comic writers Dan Jurgens and Tony Bedard will be scripting the series. There's no word yet on when the series will begin but DiDio hints that player created super heroes in DC Universe Online could find their way into the comic book series.
