razzatazz's Legion Lost #2 - The Dawn of the Hypersapiens review

    Cold crisp air

    This issue really loses a lot of its coherency and tumbles into a bit more of a convoluted mess.  That is, it does do this until a decent enough ending.  The team must still try to figure out what the effects of Alastor’s release of the pathogen is and whether it has had any effect.  They soon start to find out some answers as one of the doctor’s that died in the previous issue shows up alive but in a slightly different form.  He is the first of the hypersapiens, a mixture between human and alien DNA and the team tries to reason with him.  When that doesn’t work they are forced to employ a more direct approach to stopping him.  The whole issue was a little non-engaging until this point is reached.  Here where Wildfire and the doctor confront one another there is a bit more character development showing than in the rest of the issue.  It was not necessarily enough to save the issue overall, but at least gave the impression that the writer is looking at the series with at least a more serious tone.

If the coming is...

      Legion Lost is Finding It's Way 0

      Last issue left me wanting a lot more from this creative team and the stranded Legionaries. Does this issue change my opinions on this series?  THE GOOD: The art is really good. I like how clean and simplistic it is, however when you reread it you notice something new. I really like the story here. It is definitely an improvement and I am liking it a lot. We get a little more information on why these people are here. We also get to see why Alastor has gone back to the past and started this. We a...
