The architect of today’s Legion of Super-Heroes, Paul Levitz, delivers a science fiction odyssey on a scale you’ve never seen in a new, 6-issue miniseries!

The broad strokes of the Legion’s origin are well known, but you’ve never seen the secret machinations that went on behind the scenes! Why was the organization known as the United Planets formed? Who tried to kill R.J. Brande the first time? And what great power could leave entire planets desolate and lifeless? Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl and Lightning Lad may have founded the Legion, but the story starts here!  Cover Image courtesy of Newsarama.

Skitch Commentary: I am a huge Legion fan.  In fact, I am going to be the regular reviewer for both Legion titles once Relaunch happens, and I can’t wait.  I am not sure we need another Legion origin story, but I do absolutely love the cover of this one, and I will likely be buying and reviewing this mini as well.  LLTL!
