DC Universe: Legacies #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeDC Universe: Legacies is a 2011 DC Comics collection that presents a sweeping, decade-spanning narrative of the DC Universe, told from the perspective of ordinary citizens and lesser-known heroes. The story follows a young boy who witnesses the debut of the original Flash and grows up to become a police officer, offering a ground-level view of the major events and iconic characters—from the Golden Age to the modern era—that shaped the DCU. Written by Len Wein with art by a rotating roster of legendary artists, this volume serves as both a primer for new readers and a nostalgic tour for longtime fans.
"In the Beginning..." is a pivotal moment in DC Universe: Legacies #nn, where writer Len Wein and artists Scott Kolins and Dan Jurgens weave a layered origin story that redefines legacy and loss. Set in the aftermath of Superman’s death and the fall of Coast City, the tale explores how the mantle of heroism passed through four new figures before the real Superman’s return—and how Hal Jordan’s descent into Parallax began in the wake of unimaginable tragedy. The emotionally charged narrative is brought to life with bold art by Scott Kolins and Dan Jurgens, and striking cover by Andy Kubert and Joe Kubert.

Paul Lincoln recalls how after the death of Superman, and as his wife Peggy fought cancer, a new, more-violent Batman briefly appeared before being ousted by the original and how soon after that four figures assumed the mantel of the fallen Superman, until the return of the real hero, who stopped the plans of the Cyborg Superman, but not before the destruction of Coast City. The loss of Coast City seemingly drove Hal Jordan insane, causing him to take the power of the Green Lantern Corps, the Guardians, and the Power Battery itself for his own, and to assume the new identity of Parallax.
