Legion of Super-Heroes #2

razzatazz's Legion of Super-Heroes #2 - Hostile World review

Maybe not

Carrying forward with the same approach as the first issue, this issue is also a bit of a mess.  The main issue is the assumption that a new reader will be able to follow along with everything that is happening (in many cases just by the little info boxes they attach to the characters.)  That having been said this issue is better, if only slightly but there are so many divergent plot lines that it is hard to follow what is going on.  Shadow Lass is grieving for some unknown fallen member, who I am sure fans of the team know about but here for a new member its pretty confusing.  As is the need by Brainiac 5 to discover a link to the past (though this is presumably about Legion Lost).  When the action actually picks up here it is not as bad with the two Daxamites squaring off against one another, but the whole issue seems mediocre because of the limitations it has set itself.

The Good: Trying to keep the Legion in their own corner of time rather than the awkwardness of crossovers is a good decision, and the idea that the cause relates to Flashpoint is an interesting plot device.  I actually got the feeling that some of the extended ranks of the Legion were actually USEFUL. They weren't just there to pad out the cast to make it a 'Legion.' There was a good sense that the team takes careful consideration on who gets sent out on which missions, and that some are general...
