Written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning; art and cover by Olivier Coipel and Lanning. The Legion's greatest challenge begins in Part 1 of the 4-part "Legion of the Damned!" It's just one short month, but the alien threat known only as the Blight (introduced in LEGION Secret Files #2) has completely taken over Earth and possessed its inhabitants. Only a few Legionnaires remain, but they may not last long, since the Blight are using the team's former colleagues to hunt them down and crush the last of Earth's resistance! Continued in LEGIONNAIRES #79. For more information, see the feature article.
