Legion of Super-heroes #44 - DC




This issue wraps up a lot of story-lines that have been floating around out there. Although, I'm not sure what made it warrant a variant Neal Adams cover, but . . . it really is a nice cover. Anyways, alot of the Legions problems are taken care of by the little kid that's been popping up here and there for the last few issues. He's also the one that ordered the new uniforms for everybody. But they don't know that yet. His name's M'rissey, and he's now calling himself the Legion's Business Affairs Manager. It's a self appointed title. His credentials? He says he's good at operational calculus and other business stuff. Anyways, he gets the UP to back off by covering the Attorney General's office in lawyers and a PR firm. He also took care of all of their financial problems by selling the rights to market Legion Flight Rings to Galacticorp. That particular piece of information isn't going down as easy as the rest of it, but that will have to be put on hold as the issue ends with the solar system being invaded by . . . a planet? This issues art is by Sanford Greene. It's . . ok. But it's nowhere near as good as Francis Manapul's. Francis does contribute the cover though this issue. I just hope he's back next time. I think Jim Shooter is doing a fantastic job with these characters. He's really weaving a complex series of events here. But then . . that's his forte'. I'm really glad he's on board, and I can't wait to see where he takes these guys in the future. If anybody can handle this series and take it to new heights . . it's Jim. I'm glad to see the Legion being represented as it should.
