Legion of Super-Heroes: The Great Darkness Saga by Curt Swan, Keith Giffen, Romeo Tanghal, Larry Mahlstedt, Paul Levitz, Pat Broderick
4.0
If I wasn't browsing Alejandro's rating of Legion of Superheroes, I didn't find this book info in GR. I was so little when read this comic, that belonged to my neighbour. Thank you so much, neighbour!
This saga was beyond descriptions when I first read it. So many firsts when I read this saga:
1. My first LOSH comic read -> so many superheroes! a futuristic superheroes story in space!
2. My first Darkseid story-> such a powerful enemy! Whoa! He made whole population of a planet to become his army! And each soldier was as strong as superman!
3. My first story started in the middle of conflict. -> I was overwhelmed, could not digest all at first read. Re-read was a must to understand the story.
4. Technology and magic united! This was not just a simple superheroes comic, this was my ultimate fantasy comic. It spoiled me, later stories won't easily impress me after reading this saga.
I rated it 4 star now, after I know more about Darkseid, LOSH, etc. The story in this saga is not so original, after knowing Darkseid is from New Gods series. But it is still one of the better comic of 1980s era.
If I rated this comic at my childhood, it would be a FIVE SUPERNOVA STAR rating!
