Is Darkseid and Apokolips still around in their time? Has the Legion of Superheroes and Darkside ever faced off against each other?

I know Tyr is one of their enemies right? But was he sided with Darkseid back then or was that made up (possibly in my mind) with the Super Powers line?

Oh that's awesome and I see it's getting re-released as a hardback this November. Just in time to find a spot on my "Christmas List".


Thanks xrmc20!

I whole-heartedly endorse this story. Truly one of the all time greats out there.

Rumor has it that there may be a sequel of sorts in the works as well...

I've got that TPB on my shelf... it's definitely due for a re-read.

Any other Legion stories that people can recommend?

I add my recommendation to those above for reading this "Saga".

If you want a good story without having to read too many issues for backstory, the 12 issue Legion Lost mini-series is worth a read. Very well done, focuses on some characters not normally used, and really focuses on the essence of what the Legion is. Not sure if it's been collected to Trade Paperback but most of the issues should be pretty easy to get.

As a longtime Legion fan myself, I can say that this was one of their best big storylines, ever. Definitely worth picking up because I can almost guarantee you will read it over and over.

Great Darkness Saga was amazing. Doesn't need a sequel.

Legion Lost also amazing and a great premise. Very Star Trek Voyager!
