☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection presents the opening story arc of the 2004 'The Legion' series, which reimagined the classic Legion of Super-Heroes concept for a new era. Written by Mark Waid and illustrated by Barry Kitson, the volume establishes a fresh continuity for the teen heroes of the 31st century as they form their team and confront the threat of the Dark Circle. It collects issues #1–6 of the series, laying the groundwork for the Legion's evolving mythology under DC's 'Retroboot' initiative.
"Foundations" kicks off a pivotal moment in Legion history, weaving together the 20th and 31st centuries as the Legion prepares for Foundation Day. In the 31st century, Cosmic Boy leads the celebration while Apparition confronts a shocking reunion with her mother, President Wazzo, who has Superboy in her custody—just as Element Lad stands ready to face Saturn Girl. Meanwhile, Clark Kent awakens on Apokolips, thrust into a mystery that echoes across time. Written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, with art by Chris Batista, Eric Wight, Tony Harris, Tom Feister, and others, and a striking cover by Tony Harris and Tom Feister, this issue blends legacy, identity, and the weight of beginnings.
