4.0 out of 5 stars A bit of a lull . . .
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2007

After the events of the first year-plus of the rebooted Legion of Super Heroes I have to admit that this volume is a bit disappointing, but it is tough to top an intergalactic war.

The arrival of Supergirl detours the narrative from more Legionnaire-focused episodes to more Supergirl-centric ones while the series lays the ground work for a pair of story arcs involving the Dominators and the Legion of Super Villians.

The narrative lull was necessary after the war against Praetor Lemnos and Terror Firma but I came away feeling that Supergirl's inclusion was more gimmick than story-driven.

Those complaints aside, I enjoy the pencil-and-ink stylings and the look and feel of this vision of the Legion. This volume is worth getting if you are a Legion fan.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Step Back for the Legion
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2010
Verified Purchase
The "threebooted" version of the Legion of Super-Heroes remains somewhat controversial with the series having both its critics and fans. This collection of comics brings the current incarnation of Supergirl to the 31st century to help the Legion. There are some problems with this--there was little logic to the event besides trying to sell comics. The threebooted Legion was starting to build some chemistry. While there is an attempt here to show how the Legion deals with the loss of a member, when Supergirl comes on the scene, she dominates the narrative and some of the strong characters in the Legion are quickly eclipsed. This is unfortunate to say the least. There is a funny collection of Legion members answering reader mail which should not be missed. While not bad, this collection is a step back for the threeboooted Legion.

4.0 out of 5 stars Graphic SF Reader
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2007
After completely screwing up the Superman/Batman and Supergirl titles, and hence any possible use of Supergirl there, and again, with the Legion not setting the world on fire, they thought they wuld try something else.

Originally this spot was occupied by Superboy, but given that he is gone now, or dead, or a crazy monster, depending on which one you want to talk about, they thought throwing a miniskirt in there might be a good idea.

It is working so far. The problem the Legion have is that Supergirl thinks her existence in their time is just a dream. It is not so great having perhaps the most powerful person on the planet be extremely loopy, which causes more arguments and fights in the Legion.

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2017
upergirl. It opens a bunch of different plots, and very few get concluded. Supergirl is only in a handful of pages, and if you're like me, and bought the book as a diehard Supergirl fan, you'll be disappointed by her few appearances, where she acts like a ditz and carries the Legionnaires through their meaningless problems. This book goes a lot of places, none of them are good. If you like too many unnecessary subplots about characters you don't know or care about, then this is the book for you! But I'd stay away from this if I was anybody else.

2.0 out of 5 stars Neat ideas, unlikeable characters
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2011
Since the 50s the Legion of Super-Heroes has been around in one form or another. The core concept is a super powered teens protecting the distant future. In 2004 writer Mark Waid and artist Barry Kitson 'rebooted' the Legion (it's since been rebooted one or two more times) this time envisioning them as teen rebels shaking up a repressed 31st Century.

In this book the Legion deals with the death of one of their members and the sudden arrival of the 21st century hero Supergirl.

There's certainly potential here but Waid writes the Legion, Supergirl and just about everyone else as completely unlikeable. The Legionnaires are self-righteous bullies causing trouble just for the heck of it. They're followed hoards of idolizing fans who constantly sing the praises of the Legion but get little or nothing in return. The government of the 31st century is an absurdly over the top repressive state that genetically reprograms young people to behave. Supergirl upon arriving decides that this cannot be real and must be a dream. In short we have obnoxious heroes, an evil government and a delusional guest star.

And I had no one to sympathize with.

The only bright spots were Barry Kitson's art which is always a pleasure and the illustrated 'letter columns' in the back. In them the Legionnaires answer reader questions in character with humor and wit. They're far more likeable there than they are in the actual stories.

I picked up several second-hand volumes of the Waid Kitson run recently but I have to say if I'd paid full price for this I would not have come back for more.
