Legion of Super-Heroes #1

A striking new chapter for DC's 30th-century team begins here, with Keith Giffen and Al Gordon's cover setting a deliberately somber tone: a lone, trench-coated figure stands atop a field of jagged alien rocks, surveying rubble that includes a shattered Legion flight ring and what appears to be debris from a destroyed vehicle or structure. The muted purples and grays give the scene a haunted, post-catastrophe atmosphere that signals this 1989 relaunch — from the creative team of Keith Giffen, Tom and Mary Bierbaum, and Al Gordon — is taking the Legion somewhere grittier and more grounded than before. If you're curious where the Legion of Super-Heroes goes after upheaval, this first issue makes a compelling visual case for finding out.
