The Legion (DC Comics, 2001–2004)
The Legion (2001–2004) continued the legacy of the 31st century’s greatest heroes — the Legion of Super-Heroes — in a bold new direction following the events of Legion Lost. Written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning with art by Olivier Coipel and others, the series picked up as the scattered Legionnaires returned to a galaxy still reeling from chaos and political instability.
This volume focused on rebuilding the team and redefining their purpose in a universe that had lost faith in heroes. Core members such as Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, Live Wire, Brainiac 5, and Chameleon joined new and returning faces to restore hope to the United Planets. The run explored mature themes of unity, survival, and legacy under the banner “The Legion,” emphasizing character-driven storytelling and rich science fiction world-building.
Across its 38-issue run, The Legion blended cosmic adventure with personal drama, serving as a bridge between classic Legion mythology and modernized storytelling — setting the stage for later reimaginings of DC’s futuristic team of heroes.
