Legion of Super-Heroes #4

Well, there's the first arc of Legion done and it didn't catch. I liked a lot of the characters but the story wanted me to be better acquainted with them than I was.

Things I liked: the coaching of Chemical Lad to win the day.

Things I didn't like: too many stories to get a good idea of who the Legion is and what they do.

Legion of Super-Heroes #3

Nice to see some of the more familiar Legionnaires in this issue.  Even Sun Boy with his 70s popped collar.  I haven't read Legion in a while so I feel like I'm coming in part way through the story.  I don't get the feeling that this is a title for a new reader to just pick up and get in to, but something for Legion fans.

Things I liked: looking at the leadership structure of the Legion.

Things I didn't like: uh?  Why did Shadow Lass collapse after dropping her shadow on the Daxamites and Ultra Boy?

Legion of Super-Heroes #2

The problem I've always had with the Legion of Super-heroes is that there's too many characters. This new series doesn't look to be much different. I really like the look of this series but I'm not sure if I like the story. I'm still waiting for the first arc to finish to really make a decision on this one.

Things I liked: the art is great.

Things I didn't like: too many people to keep track of.

Legion of Super-Heroes #1

I wanted to like this one, I really did. But the characters to introduce in the first issue would not be the ones I would have picked. Where's Lightning Lad, Saturn Boy and Cosmic Girl? It feels like it's trying to start in the middle of a story no Inez's read in years.

Things I liked: the characters are all very distinctive and it's easy to tell them apart.

Things I didn't like: what's up with Brainiac 5?
