The return of the original Legion of Super-Heroes continues! The Man of Steel's jump to the future is anything but idyllic as he finds a world torn apart by strife and a populace that has turned on the Legion of Super-Heroes--and it's all because of Superman!

Whilst I think that this story is playing with some very interesting ideas, it ultimately feels like less than the sum of its parts.
