The GEOFF JOHNS Legion of Super-Heroes Trilogy

144 min • 20 augusti 2024

Host Anthony Desiato and guest Chris Clow (The Comic Binge) dig into the unofficial Legion of Super-Heroes trilogy from writer Geoff Johns during the Post-Infinite Crisis era, including:

"The Lightning Saga," a crossover between JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA (by Brad Meltzer & Ed Benes) and JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA (with artist Dale Eaglesham) that revealed a time-displaced team of Legionnaires scattered throughout the present-day DCU and tasked with a mystery mission;
"Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes," the arc from ACTION COMICS (with artist Gary Frank) that depicted how Superman's symbol and legend have been corrupted in the 31st Century; and
FINAL CRISIS: LEGION OF 3 WORLDS, the five-issue miniseries (with art by the late, great George Pérez) that pitted Superboy Prime and his Legion of Super-Villains against the "retroboot" Legion, the post-Zero Hour "reboot" incarnation, and Mark Waid's "threeboot" team.

"A Superboy Fan Journey" Chapter XIV.
