Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes by Geoff Johns
2.0
This was only OK. This showcases Geoff Johns' ability to bring back characters from the annals of DC history and incorporate them into the current history. The Legion of Superheroes ran around with a young Clark Kent. Now they need his help.
In the year 3008, the world is overrun by a xenophobic government using the name of Superman and the Justice League to push their agenda. He needs to stop them, along with his old pals.
I like this premise, but this borders on old crises where we just have every single character from yore coming back in a flood--at least here he gives us info boxes which lets us know who they are. However, the story was a bit convoluted and could have lasted only a few issues, rather than the whole length of the trade. It does, however, set up a lot of the themes we'll see later in the New Krypton arc.
