Legion of Super-heroes in the 31st Century #18 - DC


First of all this was a great story. This is the first time that Mordru has been brought in to this series. But, honestly, you knew we'd see him sooner or later. Right? Anyways, I like this book, and I think it's a fantastic introduction of these heroes to the new younger audience. Now the problem . . . there's only 2 issues left. That stinks! Yes this series may not be up to par with the Legion's past incarnations, but . . so what? Every time the Legion's come out with a new series there's been something new about it . . even if it was just a new treatment. But the important thing is, there's consistently been a Legion book, in some form or another, pretty much every month . . for quite a while now. And yes there still is the regular Legion book. However, I don't think that one is as accessible to the younger crowd, or mind-set, as this one is. It's a shame to think that there won't be a book out there for them anymore with these characters. It was already bad enough when they stopped the Teen Titans Go! comic. Yes the Shazam! book is good. And I'm sure the Supergirl book with be a welcome addition. But with this book going by the wayside, there won't be any more team books for the kids . . well, except Super Friends. Anyways, we really need to find a way to get them to change their minds about this book. I think the Legion fans out there deserve it . . as do the new younger audience. Make your voices heard! Long live the Legion!
