Legion of Super-Heroes!
Last weeks final issue of LSH is an insult to the fans and comic readers everywhere, combined with a solicitation lie to get us to by the ish!
It was supposed to be written by Jim Shooter but wasn’t and it didn’t even sport art by series (and brilliant wrap around cover) artist Francis Manapul!
Its reads like shit looks like shit and made me feel like shit for buying it!
But then there’s this week and the Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds comic!
Written by the ever consistent imaginative, respectful, enthusiastic and talented Geoff Johns, and drawn by my personal favorite penciller George Perez this comic is out-fucking standing!
Solid plot, great and vivid characterization, brilliant art, and on top of it all each and every character written has distinctive personalities that are completely on track and mindful of personality-continuity.
Rarely have I read and seen such meticulous work.
Each page is a love letter to the DCU and the LSH in all of its various incarnations, and the intervweaving done to connect certain stories and histories is all but completely mind blowing.
All that and somebody shows up that made me pee myself a little bit!
Outstanding work, and a must buy for anybody who’s a fan of the LSH!
Another extremely interesting factor for DCU fans is the numbering of a certain Earth that is a far far higher number than 52…
