Editorial Review:
Product Description:
This latest reboot of the Legion of Super-Heroes, by Mark Waid and Barry Kitson, is an interesting and amusing one.It doesn't worry about the many decades of Legion history, freely using characters that were killed off long ago, and while the characters generally have the same powers and names (Princess Projectra is one of the notable exceptions), it offers some intriguing explanations of just how those powers work.The title of the volume refers to the Legion's status as cult heroes to a generation of young people, to the dismay of their parents, including those of the Legionnaires themselves.And it seems that internal strife is as much of a threat to the organization as are the earth-moving Elysion and Terror Firma.The 2004-2005 run (encompassing Teen Titans/Legion Special 1 and Legion of Super-Heroes 1-6) is funny and sexy, but the art isn't the most attractive that's ever graced the LSH.--David Horiuchi
