DC · 1200 pages · Omnibus

Release June 15, 2027

Part of the DC Omnibus guide — every release, in reading order

Teen heroes of the future unite to face cosmic threats in the first volume of this foundational Legion collection, including the legendary Great Darkness Saga.

In the distant future, a new generation of heroes rises to protect the galaxy.

The Legion of Super-Heroes is a team of young champions from across the universe, each bringing unique powers, personalities, and ideals to a shared mission: defending a future constantly under threat. But when a mysterious force begins to spread across the stars, the Legion faces a challenge that will push them—and their alliances—to the breaking point.

Written by Paul Levitz, this collection features a defining era of Legion storytelling, combining action, character drama, and epic science fiction as the team confronts one of its greatest enemies.

Collects Legion of Super-Heroes #284-311, Legion of Super-Heroes Annual #1-2, DC Comics Presents #43 and #59, and a story from The Best of DC: Blue Ribbon Digest #24 and World’s Finest Comics #284.
