Superboy-Prime arrives in the 31st century and quickly continues his vendetta against Superman and his legacy, busting the hundreds of villains out of Takron Galtos, and storming Earth with the Legion of Super-Villians. Superman arrives in the 31st century to join the Legion of Super Heroes in their time of need. Will even the help of two parallel universe Legions be enough to stop Superboy-Prime?

It is interesting so far, but `three worlds?' They could have gotten away with two: the current one may have been changed back to the Silver Age. Actually, the 1984 - 2006 one sort of changed back to Golden Age history--modified. I guess DC did a similar thing in '06, but broke with Golden & Silver Age history (e.g. Batman, not in this comic, started out with a PC, not some oldskool car.)

Superboy-Prime has learned that in the future he isn't considered a major villain despite all his crimes. Now, he's setting to make a name for himself by taking on the Legion of Super-Heroes. Teaming up with the Legion of Super-Villains, Superboy-Prime battles the Legion, and it will take Legionnaires from all times and dimensions to stop Superboy-Prime...if they can.

Before we get started, let’s get one thing straight: this series has nothing to do with Grant Morison’s controversial event, Final Crisis. My guess is that DC editorial decided to stamp Final Crisis on the covers of Legion of Three Worlds (LoTW) in an attempt to sell more books. So, do not let the taint of Final Crisis influence your judgment of LoTW, the two stories are entirely unrelated. In fact, the last issue of LoTW shipped months after Final Crisis had concluded. Whew, now let’s hop on th...more
Let me see, this was... two reboots ago? It's hard to keep track. It's also hard to get too engaged with this reboot's version of the ultimate threat to the DC Universe. At this point, any given epic storyline has just as many characters emerging from the graveyard as going into it, so death has become the emotional equivalent of two weeks on the disabled list. The petulant Evil Superboy doesn't help, either. Ultimate evil should not be whiny.

I didn't realize it when I grabbed it, but this is the one that brings back Kid Flash and Superboy. For that reason alone, this is worth reading, because both of those guys come back in a cool way.
Other parts of the story did seem to lean a tad toward the campy side. I had a hard time taking Superboy Prime seriously, even when he was totally destroying everything. He just seemed like a really cranky kid who needed a nap...or a spanking.

A few basic assumptions are required to really enjoy this TPB. Those assumptions are as follows
1. Geoff Johns love DC history. He might muck around with it, but he loves the legacy characters.
2. Being a LSH geek will helps a lot, especially as you go through the artwork for Easter Eggs.
3. George Perez loves to draw a lot of characters in one book, per page, and EPIC (well he trys) storytelling.
If you have those three assumptions going you'll probably have a blast...more

Perez is just amazing at drawing huge epic battles. Superboy Prime is such a little prick! He's one of the most annoying villains ever which, means you love to watch him get his ass handed to him. It's funny that this series was under the Final Crisis Banner when the Crisis isn't even mentioned in this series. I figure DC decided to loosely tie it in so that John's story didn't get lost in the initial hype of Final Crisis. I like the fact that Johns ties his stories together as a lager epic ...more
Superboy Prime is out of control and not even the combined powers of the Legion of Superheroes and Superman can stop him. But by pulling in the Legions from Universe Prime and the Legion from Universe 247. But can they stop both Prime and the mysterious Time Trapper before the future world is ripped apart?
The art of George Perez alone earned this book a star from me. The story is epic, if complicated, and just fun. It doesn't matter if you don't recognize many of the characters, ...more

Que estaba a mano...
Arranqué este libro con cierta desconfianza y algo de curiosidad. Me encontré con más de lo mismo, en el buen sentido. Una historieta superheróica con varios de los clichés del géneros y unos recursos narrativos a veces bien utilizados y otras, a medio camino entre la ridiculez y lo insólito. Por momentos me aburrió y estuvo cerca de terminar con dos estrellitas, pero un final muy ingenioso y varias escenas menores memorables hicieron que la balanza se inclinara hacia el lado de la aceptabilidad...more
It is a sign of good writing that I care about these characters even though my previous exposure to (three) of them consisted entirely of an episode of Superman Adventures. Superboy Prime is a great comically evil villain and I love the various Legion of Heroes banding together to fight him. Of course, what I like best of all is Bart and Kon coming back to life for a Titans Reunion!
I picked this up as I read one of Geoff Johns Superman stories a year or so ago involving the Legion of Super-Heroes and I enjoyed it. This one wasn't as fun for me, but I could see where fans of the property would commence to drooling over the intricate George Perez artwork and the labyrinthian plot.
3.5 stars, but in this case I'll round the stars up rather than down, if only because George Pérez' art is gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. There's a lot going on in this book, with a lot of characters, but speaking as someone who read it when she didn't know a lot about the legion, I'd say it's still possible to know what's going on, if you also know what's going on in the DCU at that point. Sometimes, it felt like a little too much was going on, and there was so much action it felt a little crowd...more
I absolutely adore this comic book, it took me back to some of my favourite days, when I was but a wee lad. Tracking about the local towns for hours every weekend looking for my comic book fix, by God it was great being an addict!

Decent story IF you are a fan of Legion of Superheroes AND you are familiar with the downfall of Superboy Prime. Will be confusing and busy to anyone not familiar with the above.
