Graphic SF Reader

After completely screwing up the Superman/Batman and Supergirl titles, and hence any possible use of Supergirl there, and again, with the Legion not setting the world on fire, they thought they wuld try something else. Originally this spot was occupied by Superboy, but given that he is gone now, or dead, or a crazy monster, depending on which one you want to talk about, they thought throwing a miniskirt in there might be a good idea. It is working so far. The problem the Legion have is that Supergirl thinks her existence in their time is just a dream. It is not so great having perhaps the most powerful person on the planet be extremely loopy, which causes more arguments and fights in the Legion.

Excellent read, but I already owned the one you sent me, remember, there are many of these types of books but they have sub-names, like Adult education, etc...............

A bit of a lull . . .

After the events of the first year-plus of the rebooted Legion of Super Heroes I have to admit that this volume is a bit disappointing, but it is tough to top an intergalactic war. The arrival of Supergirl detours the narrative from more Legionnaire-focused episodes to more Supergirl-centric ones while the series lays the ground work for a pair of story arcs involving the Dominators and the Legion of Super Villians. The narrative lull was necessary after the war against Praetor Lemnos and Terror Firma but I came away feeling that Supergirl's inclusion was more gimmick than story-driven. Those complaints aside, I enjoy the pencil-and-ink stylings and the look and feel of this vision of the Legion. This volume is worth getting if you are a Legion fan.
