Written by Geoff Johns; Art by George Pérez and Scott Koblish; Cover by George Pérez
Superstar writer Geoff Johns and legendary artist George Pérez
deliver the Crisis of the 31st century as the Legion of Super-Heroes
reaches out for help against a powerful foe they can't beat alone. From
the moment Superman landed on Earth until the end of time, the Time
Trapper has sought to erase Superman's impact on the universe. But the
Legion of Super-Heroes have always been there to stop the relentless
villain. Now, one Legion isn't enough as the Time Trapper taps a twisted
mirror image of The Boy of Steel from a parallel Earth long dead:
Superboy-Prime! Who will answer the Legion's call for help?
With ties to INFINITE CRISIS, FINAL CRISIS and the history of the
DCU, this tremendous hardcover collects the entire 5-issue miniseries
and is not to be missed!

Look, here's the deal: I read lots of comics. On any given Wednesday,
I'm likely to bring home anywhere from 15 to 40 titles from my local
shop, and that figure doesn't include original graphic novels, or the
trade collections of those ongoing series that I opt to read in large
chunks.

Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds by Geoff Johns and George Perez (Collected Mini-Series)
As I mentioned, most of the big companys' crossovers slid right off my cerebellum, but this Final Crisis spin-off, which features comics legend George Perez's
incredibly detailed, cast-of-thousands two-page spreads, is a frickin'
delight. (You can't help imagining Perez hunched over his desk; I
actually felt my hand cramping in sympathy.) Granted, I'm a Legion of
Super-Heroes fan, and the book's plot (which finds each member of a
huge team of super-powered teens from the future joining forces with
two different, alternate-universe versions of him- or herself to Save
The World) demands AP-level nerdery. But you gotta love the villain of
the piece: Imagine the most belligerent, opinionated internet commenter
you know - now give him super-powers.
Top 5 at a Glance

2. FINAL CRISIS: LEGION OF THREE WORLDS, by Geoff Johns and George Perez

5. THE WALKING DEAD, BOOK 1, by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard
The ill-conceived DC Comics Classics Library series—which so far has
been dedicated to reprinting stories of middling historical and/or
aesthetic value, at a needlessly high price—continues to get it wrong
with Justice League Of America By George Pérez: Volume One
(DC). Pérez’s work on the early-’80s JLA is worth collecting: Though
these comics aren’t as memorable as Pérez’s collaborations with Marv
Wolfman on the contemporaneous New Teen Titans, Pérez’s art
is dynamic, and Gerry Conway’s stories are generally entertaining.
(Though they all end sort of abruptly, as though Pérez ran out of paper
before he ran out of script.) And the CCL package is well-assembled; it
includes an introduction, an afterword, and bonus art, and the printing
job is pristine. But the price point remains ridiculous for this
series. DC is asking for $40 for a normal-sized hardcover containing
reprints of only six issues. Pérez only penciled four more issues of Justice League
during this run. How hard would it have been to include those issues,
instead of shuffling them off to Volume Two, which is also $40? For
that matter, why does the price need to be so high to begin with? By
contrast, the new collection Final Crisis: Legion Of 3 Worlds
(DC) is of a comparable size and arguably of superior quality in terms
of its art and story, and yet it only lists for $20. Writer Geoff Johns
spins off from DC’s Final Crisis crossover to tell a story of
three Legions Of Super-Heroes from three different universes, banding
together under Superman’s leadership to fight the evil Superboy-Prime
and The Legion Of Super-Villains. The story offers fairly typical
“Here’s a bunch of old characters fighting” fare, but with Pérez
handling the art chores (with inks by Scott Koblish), both the
characters and the fighting look absolutely awesome. This is a
collection for people who like a lightning pace and page after page of
costumed mayhem. And it’s a relative bargain… JLA: C-; Legion: B+
