A couple of issue ago, the Dominators released a techo-virus on earth that basically took away all control of even the simplest of tech devices. If it had an "on/off" switch, or plugged in, then it was out of our control. Well the Legion decided to lay a trap for the Dominators, basically by reverse engineering a trap that the Dominators had set for them. The Legion knew that if the Dominators found out that the majority of them would be in one place, that it would be too tempting for them to not try to attack and trap them. So when they do arrive, the Legion feigns a battle, while the majority of them jump back through their portal and take the battle to their home planet. Knowing that they were so set on bringing down the Legion, and the planet Earth, the majority of their forces would be on this side. So when they jumped to the other side, they would not be met with as much resistance. And basically they would take them down from the inside. Well the one Dominator, a pariah among his own people for his ideas, and also the one that developed the "super"-Dominators, had this plan going all along. He felt that the Dominator race had become to complacent in it's role in the universe. So if he could force a change, it would be better for their entire race in the long run. He knew that they would fall to the Legion, just as he knew that some of his enhanced Dominators would survive. Those would then meld back in to what was left of their race, breed and take them to the next step on the evolutionary ladder. Essentially, in the long run, making them better for having come through the experience. But that doesn't mean that the story is over, because the Legion still has to defeat the Dominator world, and they have to find a way to reverse the effects of the techno-virus. But either way, the Dominator race will win, because the one lone scientist will have advanced his culture. Even at his own demise. It'll be interesting to see if the Legion can grasp what their ultimate goal was. And also what kind of effects this was will have on earth and the Legion in the time that follows. No Kitson or Waid this issue. This one's written by Tony Bedard and pencilled by Kevin Sharpe. I'm not sure if Kitson or Waid will be back, but the story here should still wrap up nicely because they've already laid the groundwork. The artwork though, I wasn't particularly fond of. But we'll see what happens next issue. I still think this is a fantastic series, with some of the best characters there are in comics. Long live the Legion!!
