REVIEW by Brian Fisher
The first issue of Legion of Three Worlds opens as a sort of primer to the LOSH. It establishes that it’s a turbulent time for them, as the United Planets are seeking to disband the Legion and disavow Earth entirely. Add to that a shadowy figure with a sinister plan, a pissed-off Superman-Prime and a freed planet of super-baddies and the Legion might just need a little back-up. As with everything Geoff Johns writes, the story respects the knowledge of the Legion faithful while not alienating the newbies. And, as for George Perez his status as an industry veteran is well deserved.
