Legends

Legends (1986–1987) is a six-issue DC Comics miniseries that serves as a linchpin of the post-Crisis on Infinite Earths era, masterminded by writers John Ostrander and Len Wein with artwork by John Byrne. The story pits a cadre of heroes—including Garfield Logan, the Flash, and Changeling—against the machinations of Darkseid and his earthly mouthpiece, G. Gordon Godfrey, who orchestrates a propaganda campaign to turn the public against all superhumans. This series matters because it reshaped the DC Universe’s political landscape, leading directly to the formation of a new Justice League and redefining how heroes operated in a world that no longer trusted them.
