Book Reviews of Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes (Superman (DC Comics))
Book Review: Superman in the 31st Century
Summary: 5 Stars
For all Legion of Super-Heroes Fans this is a must read, not only becaus it's a great story but it also allow Superman to re-establish his connection to the Legion. After Crisis on Infinite Earths way back in the mid 1980's the DC Universe was reorganized and the character of Superboy was lost in the process; this left the Legion on its own and there werre certainly good stories to be had but the only srories involving Superboy with the Legion were relegated to the Elseworls line which existed outside the continuity of the DC Universe. Even when reading an excelllent Legion story (and there are a lot out there) I always missed Superboy.
In Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes, which takes place after Infinite Crises, the second reorganization of the DC Universe, Superman is contacted by the Legion for the first time since the 80's. He is brought to the 31st century only to find that Earth's sun is now red and the United Planets are on the verge of war; all because 20th century history has been re-written to say that Superman was actually an Earthman and not an alien. This sets off a wave of xenphobia on Earth and serves as a great reason to bring Superman back to the future.
Having Superman back in the 31st century is great but since the sun is now red he has no powers and must rely on a flight ring just to fly and keep up with the Legionaires; however, when he does get his powers back at the end of the story it is a climax worth waiting for.
Not only are most of my favorite Legionaires present in this story but Johns has also included some members of the Substitute Legion fighting alongside the Legion and the Man of Steel.
Reading this story all the elements of the old Legion are there but with a bit of a twist that only Geoff Johns could have pulled off. This is a must fan of Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes.
