The Legion #1

A fresh start for DC's 30th-century super-team arrives with this December 2001 launch, written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning with art by Olivier Coipel. The cover — inked by Lanning over Coipel's pencils — presents a striking overhead view of a group of Legion members in their distinctive blue-and-pink-trimmed uniforms, their figures receding into a burst of radiant light below as they float or stand in formation, the Legion "L" emblem prominent among them. It's a confident, stylish statement of purpose for a series ready to make the 31st century feel brand new.
