Boy . . the Legion's just getting attacked from all sides right now. We have one team on Rimbor. They're trying to get home, but the Science Police won't let them leave because Ultra Boy has a warrant for his arrest there. Then, on Velmar V another team has to get in the middle of a conflict between the Peril Men, the Ikonns and the Science Police. That's also where, I believe, Karate Kid and Triplicate Girl are picked up for their adventures in the Countdown series. The new Legion of Substitute-heroes, the United Planets Young Heroes, are also there. And back on the home-front, Deputy Popoff has set up the Legion. When they have their guard down, he sends in Colonel Pismo, and a squad of Science Police, with a warrant to search the Legion headquarters. They aren't very happy with what they find. Right now, on all fronts, it looks like the whole team is somewhere between a rock and a hard place. Jim Shooter has really got alot going on in this book right now. But, to tell the truth, it's only going to get more hectic because we have that Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds coming up soon. What a fantastic franchise to be heading up as the writer right now. Jim's gotta be in heaven. Or something similar to that . . . where you have to work all the time and constantly be pressed against deadlines. But other than that . . heaven. I think Francis Manapul is doing a fantastic job with the art chores also. This book is in a great place right now, and I think it's only going to get better. Fasten your seat-belts . . we may be in for a bumpy ride.
