Legion of Super Heroes is to be illustrated by Scott Kolins from September.

The artist revealed during the Phoenix Comic Con that he will be taking over the book for a short spell starting with the upcoming issue #0, Bleeding Cool reports.

"I have three issues of Legion of Super Heroes coming up starting with the zero issue in a couple of months," Kolins allegedly told an interviewer at the convention.

DC Comics' entire line will revert to issue #0s in September to mark the one-year anniversary of its 'New 52' relaunch. Each comic is then expected to return to consecutive numbering.

The publisher launched its 'Second Wave' of 'New 52' titles last month to replace a number of comics that were under-performing.

DC is yet to officially confirm the creative team change on Legion of Super Heroes.
