Landing in comic book stores today and in bookstores everywhere on Tuesday, LEGION: SECRET ORIGIN collects all six issues of the fan-favorite miniseries by writer Paul Levitz (LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES; WORLDS’ FINEST) and artists Chris Batista (Thunderbolts) and Marc Deering (SUPERGIRL).

In LEGION: SECRET ORIGIN, learn why the United Planets was formed, who tried to kill R.J. Brande the first time, what great power could leave entire planets desolate and lifeless, and more!

A must-have addition to the bookshelf of all LEGION fans, this special paperback collection also includes six pages of Batista’s character sketches. Below, take a first look at these designs and see how this 30th and 31st centuries superhero team looked the first time they came together to defend planetary colonies!
