David Haller is returning to Marvel Comics with a newLegionseries set for next year . When word break that Fox was finally bring   the X - Man to live - legal action tv set , anticipation was mixed . After all , it was n’t as if the openhanded names from theX - Menfilms would be showing up anytime . So far , however , the results have been quite   convinced . After FOX axedHellfirein favour ofThe Gifted , the week ’s premiere of the new series has been critically solid . And in the first place this year , Legionseason 1   was very much a critical darling .

Legionalways seemed like the tough sell , as its protagonist is comparatively   dark and his powers are built around intellect - bending personality that he has in his forefront . However ,   under the guidance of Noah Hawley , Legionwas turned into an audacious television experimentation exalt by critics . Next season , the show will dive even deeply into protagonistDavid Haller ’s many personas- and   along the new episodes , Marvel is bringing the character back to the comics .

Marvel has   sustain   that a newLegioncomic book serial publication   will   debut in 2018 . No specific have been   given on the title yet , including who will be working on it . The first cover , however , was release ( see below ) , though   the artist responsible for the graphics has yet to be reveal .

Despite the change made to the character for the TV show , the newLegioncover keeps David ’s alone hair and getup intact . Of of course , we have   heard thatmore classic costume will seem in season 2of the show , so perhaps Dan Stevens will set about look more like his comic book counterpart in the close future .

There ’s no word yet on how much the retooling of the David Haller theatrical role   for   theLegionTV show will be reflect in   these new comic strip . While Legion ’s apparent death inX - Men : Legacya few years back was never likely to stick , it ’s still hard to imagine the character getting his own Holy Writ without the winner of the telecasting serial publication . Marvel regularly uses film and TV shows to establish new comic book series based on the same properties , so this word about aLegioncomic series does n’t follow as a vast surprisal . consider how often theMCU has forge comic book character , expect elements from theLegionTV show to likewise factor into the narrative on the page .
