Legion of Superheroes: Death of a Dream - Mark Waid & Barry Kitson

The second volume of this Legion re-imagining continues on immediately from where the last volume left off. With the scene setting and re-introductions out of the way this time it's a much slicker story with a lot more focus. The team has finally worked out just who is making a move against the UP and is on the offensive.

There's no real depth to this but it is fun. Lot's of old-school Legion soap-opera in spaceness and a big fight scene. The characters aren't as rounded and developed as they were back under Levitz and Giffen in the old series but they mostly retain their characteristics and Waid can usually be relied on for a readable romp of a tale.
