Legion of Super-Heroes issue 1 (2026) (review)

Writer: Joshua Williamson Artist: Hayden Sherman DC Comics, November 2026 Marvel Comics’ editor-in-chief, the late Jim Shooter, once described it as the only comic he ever paid money to read. The title was only one of two (the other being the best selling New Teen Titans by Marv Wolfman and George Perez) to be upgraded with great fanfare to DC Comics’ innovative Baxter paper format in 1984 (to put that into perspective, even Batman missed out).

By day, he is a typical bullied schoolkid. By night, he becomes a hooded operative who hunts down and eliminates the deadly creatures lurking in the darkness. Paxton initially works alone, but that changes when he meets his schoolmate Larry Whitlock. Larry convinces him to expand his monster-hunting operation with the help of cheerleader Cambria Morris, who has problems of her own. Cambria secretly suffers from terrifying, hyper-realistic sleep disturbances involving a mysterious green portal and a shadowy figure. Together, the three form D.E.A.L., or Darkness Evaluation and Liberation, setting the stage for a much larger supernatural conflict. As a first issue, Paxton Porter and the Agents
