DC Comics Presents: Legion of Super-Heroes #1
"Legion of the Damned Part One" kicks off a bold new era for the Legion of Super-Heroes, with Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning leading a high-stakes mission into the heart of the Stem. Olivier Coipel’s dynamic art, sharpened by Andy Lanning’s inks, brings a striking visual intensity to a story where Brainiac, Apparition, Saturn Girl, XS, Cosmic Boy, and Monstress play a dangerous game of deception to stop Atrophos from unleashing cosmic destruction. The cover by Coipel and Lanning captures the tension perfectly, setting the stage for a pivotal chapter in the Legion’s history.
In "Legion of the Damned Part One," a desperate rescue mission turns deadly when Live Wire, XS, Shvaughn Erin, and Chameleon lead fleeing survivors from the Blight’s grasp—only to be ambushed by twisted versions of Ultra Boy, Umbra, and Karate Kid. After the team is split, Chameleon narrowly escapes, defeats a Blighted Star Boy, and uncovers the shocking fate of four missing Legionnaires: Cosmic Boy, Apparition, Brainiac 5, and Monstress.
In "Legion of the Damned Part Two: Damned if We Do!", XS is captured and brought to the Stem, where she’s set to be processed—until a mental link with Saturn Girl sparks a daring escape, pulling her teammate into the fray. As Brainiac, Chameleon, Monstress, Cosmic Boy, and Apparition launch a covert mission to rescue her, they’re met with a brutal ambush by Umbra, Ultra Boy, and Star Boy, who lead a terrifying horde of Blighted.
In "Legion of the Damned Part Three Damned If We Don't!", XS and Saturn Girl are recaptured by a ruthless faction of the Blighted Legion, including Element Lad, Ferro, Atmos, Spark, Kid Quantum, Umbra, and Thunder. With the Legion's fate hanging in the balance, Cosmic Boy, Brainiac, Apparition, Chameleon, and Monstress rush in to rescue them, setting a trap that captures several Blight agents—Radion, Particon, and Kinetix—while M'Onel’s escape attempt ends in renewed capture. As tensions rise, Jenni reveals the secret behind her telepathic dreams, offering a crucial clue that could turn the tide.
In "Legion of the Damned Part Four: Damned for All Eternity!", the Legion of Super-Heroes stages a daring ruse, pretending to be prisoners of Chameleon to infiltrate the Stem. As tensions rise and the Blight spreads, Saturn Girl, XS, Cosmic Boy, and the others must rely on each other—and even their enemies—to stop Atrophos from unleashing cosmic destruction.
