ADVENTURE COMICS returns to its historical numbering with this issue just in time for Paul Levitz to retell the Legion's origins! Everything begins on a somber note reflecting on the past with "The Last Will and Testament of R.J. Brande"!

Also, this issue begins an all-new co-feature starring The Atom, which continues the story begun in this month's BRIGHTEST DAY: THE ATOM SPECIAL #1 as Jeff Lemire (SWEET TOOTH) launches Ray Palmer into an exciting new adventure smack-dab in the middle of the DCU.

Other stories in this issue

There is an additional story that does not feature the Legion. The Atom tracks down the Calculator in "Nucleus, Part 1: Splitting the Atom."
