The Justice League is trapped in the 31st century with the Legion of Super-Heroes, while the looming terror of the Great Darkness hovers over both time period simultaneously. Even as the great heroes of the 21st century get to experience the fantastic far-flung future, the mysteries behind the Gold Lantern and the Great Darkness threaten all of existence. What is the secret behind the Great Darkness? And will the greatest heroes of two ages be able to stop it before it's too late?
But did we get anywhere other than moving the teams to the different times? I mean, I still don't know what this Darkness is. I'll keep my fingers crossed this is brought to a great ending. I'll hope we get more Legion after this. We shall see. Read Full Review
Justice League vs. The Legion of Super-Heroesis one of the cleanest and best-looking comics on the stands. The story is fun as it features so many heroes, but it's also erratic as it continues to figure out what it wants to be about. It's a fun ride and a good journey well worth a look for fans of DC Comics, but it lacks stakes and a solid direction. Read Full Review
Where this issue excels in unique visuals from Scott Godlewski, particularly the reveal of one more timeline/world in a double-page spread right at the end. Where it struggles is finding the right pacing to tell that story in a compelling way. The delays on this series also make it feel like it stands on its own in a DCU that's quickly moving on to some crazy new developments. Read Full Review
This mini-series continues to show some intrigue, but Bendis' knack for ruining the drama keeps ensuring this story won't manage to reach its full potential. Read Full Review
The first three issues together make a pretty good first issue, but I don't know how they can successfully wrap this up. Read Full Review
I don't care about this story and I don't think I ever will. How can you when it's so slight and there is no effort given to writing anything below surface level. That said, It remains a fun diversion. This is the kind of book you pick up and enjoy, set down and forget. No one will be talking about Justice League vs. the Legion of Super-Heroes at any point in the future. Read Full Review
If you're buying this series, ask yourself why. Based on this issue, it's not going to get any better and like Event Leviathan before it, it's impact will be obsolete before it's completed. Read Full Review
Toward the end of this issue Ultra Boy comments that he struggles to keep track of all the members of his team; that's also true of the cast and plot lines found in Justice League vs. The Legion of Super-Heroes for readers. Read Full Review
Derek: Its impact is already obsolete thanks to the events of Justice League#75. I doubt anyone's buying this for the writing. Perhaps, for the art. Or perhaps in the belief that this series is required for fully understandingDark Crisis. However, I suspect it could be easily skipped without impacting their enjoyment of that event.

Not sure why the reviews are so bad,I enjoyed it.
a bland story overall. It's not that good, and I am so glad Bendis is off Justice League.
I really miss the Legion and want so badly for them to have a book again, but having said that, this again is a garbage story with truly awful art.
Please bring the real Legion back and keep Bendis away from them.
