"The Great Darkness Saga, Chapter Four: Within the Darkness..."

By Paul Levitz and Keith Giffen

Paul Levitz's run on the Legion of Super Heroes is one of the classic runs people still talk about to this day, and the Great Darkness Saga is certainly the masterpiece at the heart of the run. From the trade cover it's obvious what the story entails, but it wasn't until the reveal at the end of Part 4 that we really knew just what was coming to destroy the Legion.


The reveal of Darkseid's return at the end of the issue was powerful and shocking, and showed the monstrous villain at full-power once more. It was to be the pivotal moment of the greatest story featuring the character, and indeed, the best story ever to feature the Legion of Super Heroes.
