☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the 2011 miniseries 'Legion of Super-Heroes: The Choice,' a DC Comics storyline that pits the Legion against a dire threat forcing them to make an impossible decision. Written by Paul Levitz with art by various creators, the story explores the team's unity and moral boundaries as they confront a crisis that could reshape the future.
In "The Scream Heard 'Cross the Universe," the Legion of Super-Heroes races to stop a catastrophic act of xenophobia when a civilian airliner carrying Titanian refugees is sabotaged by the Earth Force. As Earth-Man and reinforcements arrive to turn the tide, tensions flare across the galaxy—on Naltor, a Green Lantern ring is offered to a reluctant new candidate, while on Earth, a Durlan assassin infiltrates the Science Police by killing Chief Zendak. The issue builds with urgency and moral complexity, culminating in a bold confrontation and an unexpected celebration at Legion HQ. Written by Paul Levitz and illustrated by Francis Portela and Yıldıray Çınar, with cover art by Çınar and inks by Wayne Faucher, this 2011 installment delivers high-stakes drama with a distinctive visual flair.
In "The Scream Heard 'Cross the Universe," the Legion of Super-Heroes grapples with EarthGov’s controversial demand to admit Earth-Man as a member, while scientists at the Time Institute on Titan push the limits of cosmic observation—unintentionally unraveling the fabric of reality, vanishing the Ranzz twins, and triggering a chain reaction that shatters Titan. The resulting chaos awakens Dyogene on Oa, a being drawn to Earth with a Green Lantern ring meant for Earth-Man.
In "The Day After Titanfall," Saturn Queen manipulates Ultra Boy into turning on his Legion teammates during a crisis on Titan’s debris field, then dispatches him to Earth where a different Legion team faces rising tensions over the Titanian resettlement. As the situation escalates, Earth-Man grapples with the deeper mysteries of his Green Lantern ring, unaware of how it might shape the storm ahead.
In "Earth-Man's Choice," Earth-Man faces his first true test as a Green Lantern, torn between duty and doubt—especially when he realizes he may not be cut out for the role. With Phantom Girl leading a rescue mission to free Ultra Boy from Saturn Girl’s grip, and Lightning Lad teaming with Lightning Lass and Saturn Girl to hunt for Garridan and Graym on Avalon, the Legion’s unity is tested in ways no ring could have foreseen.
In "That Which Is Purest Among You," Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl, and Lightning Lass race to rescue Garridan and Graym from a Darkseid cult on Avalon, where Saturn Girl’s mental clarity pierces the deception of the cult’s twisted reality. Meanwhile, Earth-Man confronts a xenophobic cabal on Earth, Dream Girl and Dawnstar assist Titanians settling on Naltor, and Sodam Yat sends Dyogene back to Earth to find a new Green Lantern.
In "A Choice of Destinies," the Legion of Super-Heroes races to stop a xenophobic attack on a refugee airliner, only to uncover a deeper conspiracy as Earth-Man leads them into a shocking confrontation with a hidden cabal. Meanwhile, Dyogene’s attempt to recruit a new Green Lantern ends in refusal, and a Durlan assassin slips into the Science Police, setting the stage for a dangerous deception. The story unfolds with urgency and moral complexity, as heroes face not just enemies in the open, but the shadows within their own ranks.
In "Acceptance," Earth-Man, newly pardoned by Earthgov, pushes for recognition and change within the Legion as he navigates his evolving role among off-worlders. Meanwhile, Phantom Girl shares quiet moments with Shadow Lass about her blossoming romance, and Chameleon Girl enjoys a heartfelt sabbath dinner with Colossal Boy and his mother, who’s returned to politics.
Cosmic Boy returns to the Legion Academy to observe the current crop of recruits during a training exercise, only to realize the future of the Legion may need a shift in direction. As he watches the young heroes in action, he begins to question how leadership should be shaped—and what that might mean for the team back at headquarters.
