Very impressed!<br /><br />I wasn't so sure about the cover though. I thought both Brainy and DG looked a little too young with their overly round, almost chubby, unlined faces. I realise the Legion is part of DC's younger comics, but they both look about 14 on the cover.<br /><br />I'm enjoying this run of the Legion more than the previous 16-or-so issue run. It's almost as if Levitz has taken a while to get back into his writing stride after so long having been in management.<br /><br />This new Dominator menace is shaping up nicely. Hopefully, it's leading up to a group of super-powered Dominators and a massive bust-up with the Legion. I'm hoping for a big splash page with loads of Legionnaires blasting and punching a whole host of Dominator-engineered villains.<br /><br />And the idea of a new Fatal Five is just amazing. Definitely one of my favourite - top 3 maybe? - comics every month.Rob Yhttp://www.robyeung.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-74718925378315728882012-05-19T19:27:37.759+01:002012-05-19T19:27:37.759+01:00Another great issue; this series does seem to have...Another great issue; this series does seem to have a much more absorbing impact and feel for its core values than the previous. We have more characterization that just 'feels' right, even if the actual plot serves a lower register to said such. I like whats going on, I like the Legionnaires interactions with each other, even the ongoing villains plots, this new Fatal Five being possibly formed, the Dominators ongoing threats both subtle and overt and so on. But as I said in my recent Legion APA Tales of a Silver Age Snob, are Brainy and Dreamy and Li in their own separate book now, as they never really mix with the others.<br />Loving the new look at Star Boy but I suddenly feel theyr gonna kill him off; dont let that happen! Liking the possibility Brainy and Nura may get together; such an odd pairing in the threeboot but it worked, amazingly. Found these new bad-guys fascinating, tho I do hope we see more of them as these days villains appear once and never seen again. Nice mix of powers and abilities going on there.<br />Dont really understand [cough, remember] how Validus can be around if Garridian is cured of Darkseid's curse. Are they two separate beings now?<br />Tip to Ultra Boy; dont announce what power youre using in a battle so they can get the drop on y'all. And Jo, get your hair cut too.<br />Good to see Gravity Kid, the Academy students shouldnt be forgotten. And I like the internal politicking with the UP Council regarding the Dominators.<br />The art and the colours...said it before and I will state it again. This book is GORGEOUS. The colours are so vibrant. Its the most attractive book on the market today.karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07814365568280298681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-5156223033522371332012-05-19T11:38:52.770+01:002012-05-19T11:38:52.770+01:00It's always a wonder to behold Portela.

It's like everything is simmering at the same time. It's going to boil over soon.<br /><br />And I echo your praise of Portela.
