The DC offices will be closed on Monday, so there won’t be any fresh posts. But fear not, readers. We’ll be back Tuesday with an announcement and plenty of cool reveals. Until then, have a great weekend.

What a week, huh? From BRIGHTEST DAY to a new LEGION ongoing series, we’ve rolled out a truckload of news to keep fans chatting for at least the next hour or so. But there’s more. Seriously.

History was made in the DCU a few years back with the launch of 52, a weekly, year-long series filling in the gap of time between INFINITE CRISIS and ONE YEAR LATER. Since then, the weekly series has been a staple for the DCU. So what could we possibly do to keep the things fresh and exciting?

How about a weekly series set in the world of DC UNIVERSE ONLINE, SONY ONLINE ENTERTAINMENT’S upcoming Massive Multiplayer Online Action Game? Well, there you have it.

DC UNIVERSE: LEGENDS will run weekly and exist in the same world as the game. Can there be a more perfect companion? Probably not.

We’ll reveal more details about the creative team and full-length of the series soon.

For more from our very own Dan DiDio on the new weekly, head over to IGN for the scoop.

A few things to ponder while you recover from the headline and that amazing George Perez cover.

120 pages of classic, New Teen Titans action.

George Perez and Marv Wolfman together again.

So, yes. The OGN will hit stores this year. What more is there to say? Let’s check with Marv, shall we?:

“It’s all the regular Titans, obviously because the story was plotted back then it’s Troia, in that costume, Nightwing, Cyborg, Changeling, Danny Chase, Jericho, Starfire, and a number of others but they’re all there. This isn’t a big surprise. What this really is, is the uncovered story that had been done at the height of the Titans. And except for the actual dialoguing, that’s exactly what it is. Because as I said, George drew 80 of the pages back then.”

For more from Wolfman and Perez, check with COMIC BOOK RESOURCES for interviews with both legendary creators about their return to the Titans.

From TINY TITANS #25, featuring guest writer Geoff Johns and TINY TITANS regulars Art and Franco.

Talk about a no-brainer, huh?

When something works, it works. And that’s the case with BLACKEST NIGHT and the two titles directly linking to it, GREEN LANTERN and GREEN LANTERN CORPS (that’s the cover to GLC #45 above). So it makes perfect sense to announce that one of the architects of this year’s BRIGHTEST DAY event, Peter Tomasi, will be sticking around the DCU for a couple more years.

So, in addition to plugging away on an epic GLC run, Tomasi will be pairing up with Johns to grapple with the post-BLACKEST NIGHT DCU. What say you, Pete?

“I’m excited to be a part of all the great stuff that’s happening here at DC Comics. I love working on these iconic characters, and there’s so many incredible stories coming down the pike that it’s truly gonna be a helluva ride. With BRIGHTEST DAY and the GREEN LANTERN franchise on my things to do list, along with several other amazing projects in the works, continuing to make DC — which has given me the ability to do smaller personal projects like LIGHT BRIGADE and THE MIGHTY to broader epics like GLC BLACKEST NIGHT and BRIGHTEST DAY — my exclusive home was an easy choice to make.”

And we’re glad to have you.

It’s simple, really. When readers think of the Legion of Super-Heroes, they think of writer Paul Levitz. Specifically, they think of Levitz’s groundbreaking work on the series, which included the epic “Great Darkness Saga” — a story that helped modernize comic book storytelling and story structure.

Well, he’s back.

This Spring, Levitz will team up with rising star artist Yildiray Cinar to launch LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #1, telling tales of the far-flung future, featuring your favorite Legionnaires – every month.

Wait, you want more? Sure, we can do that. Here are a few more sketches from Yildiray which should give you a sense of what the future will look like.

But what’s Mr. Levitz have to say about it all? Let’s ask him. Paul?

“It’s such fun to be back in the future, blowing up planets, undoing Legion marriages, revealing unrevealed factoids, and starting improbable new relationships. If there’s a better job in comics than writing the Legion, with its vast cast and creative opportunities, I’ve never held it.”

And if that isn’t enough Legion news for you, click over to sci-fi blog IO9.com for Levitz’s first lengthy comments on his return to the future.

A lot. Like Diogenes Nieves interior artwork, which’ll catch a lot of you by surprise.

If you don’t believe me, check out these penciled and inked pages from the issue, written by J.T. Krul.

See? I wouldn’t steer you wrong.

BLACK LANTERN GREEN ARROW #30 hits next month.

Not long ago, we announced that — among a host of new stuff happening with the Red Circle characters — acclaimed writer/artist Michael Avon Oeming would be taking a stab at the street-level avenger known as The Fox with writer Brandon Jerwa. We showed off a sketch, but now we have a finished page to make the work day go by a tad faster.

Can we say anymore? Well, I can’t, but I’m sure Red Circle Editor Rachel Gluckstern has some things to share. Take it away, Rachel:

“2009 was the year of the Red Circle; 2010 is the year of the MIGHTY CRUSADERS! Starting today with the Shield #5, the Jaguar and the Comet will be revealed as they encounter our man at war, the Shield and the fiery fugitive Inferno! And above is Michael Avon Oeming’s first page of art for the Fox co-feature, kicking off in March! This promises to be a banner year for our newest heroes, so stay tuned for more exciting news soon!”

You’ve read about BRIGHTEST DAY and the titles that will be waving the banner starting in April, like THE FLASH, TITANS, JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA and the just announced GENERATION LOST. But that’s not all.

Starting this Spring, writer Gail Simone and artist Ed Benes will reunite to launch a new BIRDS OF PREY series. As many of you can recall, Benes first made a splash in the DCU when he paired with Simone on the original series. And guess what? He’s gotten better. Check out the artwork above if you’ve got even half a doubt.

But Alex, what’s this new incarnation have in store for fans, you ask? We can’t tell you, but maybe Simone will. Here’s a snippet from her first interview about the gig:

“I am really excited and I missed those characters terribly. I miss almost every book I’ve ever written, but the Birds have a special place in my heart and brain.”

For more from Gail, head over to AOL’s COMICS ALLIANCE blog for a full interview on the new series.

…and Batman? Sure you do. Here’s a double-page spread from DETECTIVE COMICS #861 from the acclaimed artist — pairing him with a certain Mr. Greg Rucka. The issue hits at the end of the month.
