☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis omnibus continues the gritty, post-apocalyptic saga of the Legion of Super-Heroes set five years after the original series, collecting issues from the early 1990s as the team faces political upheaval, betrayal, and the collapse of the United Planets. Written primarily by Tom and Mary Bierbaum with art by Stuart Immonen and others, this volume deepens the dark, mature reimagining of the classic Legion mythos.
In "Baptism by Fire!", the Legion of Super-Heroes faces a crisis that unravels the very fabric of their timeline, as Rokk Krinn confronts a shocking truth about his identity and the origins of the SW6 Legionnaires—revealed through the enigmatic Time Trapper. With Mordru and Glorith wielding the power of The Infinite Man, the team battles to contain the threat, only to face devastating losses when Valor, Shadow Lass, and Superboy vanish without a trace. Written by Kurt Busiek and illustrated by Colleen Doran, with inks by Dave Cooper, colors by Dave Grafe, and letters by Bob Pinaha, this pivotal story unfolds across a dynamic cover by Chris Sprouse and Stuart Immonen, with inks by Karl Story and Stuart Immonen.
In "Baptism by Fire!", the newly elected Cosmic Boy leads the Legion of Super-Heroes on their first mission: infiltrating the Hand gang, who’ve been sabotaging the power grids of the domed cities. With trust still forming and the stakes high, the team must navigate deception and danger in the shadows of a fragile future.
In "Devils in the Deep," the Legion of Super-Heroes takes a much-needed break at the Atlantis Dome, only to find themselves caught in a tense standoff between the Tritonis merfolk and the enigmatic Devil-fish—creatures who've long lived beneath the waves, their true origins tied to Earth’s forgotten past. As personal connections among the heroes shift and deepen, old tensions rise, forcing them to confront secrets buried in the ocean's depths.
In "Sudden Death Overtime, Part Two: Two Minute Warning," Valor faces a desperate stand to stop the Braalians from seizing a planet, fracturing himself into multiple versions to scatter across the United Planets and secure their future. With time running out and the cost of his actions mounting, he entrusts Glorith with the final step—reuniting him and sending him into the twilight dimension.
In "End of an Era, Part 4: Changing Times," Mordru and Glorith wield the Infinite Man’s power to rewrite reality, unraveling the fabric of the Legion’s existence as heroes from different timelines vanish one by one. With the past and future collapsing, Rokk Krinn, trapped in Mordru’s Infinite Library, must find a way to stop the unraveling—only to face the enigmatic Time Trapper, whose motives remain as elusive as the truth.
In "End of an Era, Part 5: Infinite Valor," Rokk Krinn confronts a shocking truth as the Time Trapper reveals his true identity—and with it, the staggering revelation that he and the SW6 Legionnaires are alternate versions of the older heroes they’ve long fought to protect. As the Legion battles Mordru and Glorith, who wield the power of The Infinite Man, the fate of Valor, Shadow Lass, and Superboy hangs in the balance.
