This, I think is the launch of the current re-invention of the Legion. It is, to all intents and purposes a return to the old original series. There are some strange tweaks here and there - like Wildfire having Red Tornado's body - but it's pretty faithful apart from that.
The writing is split into alternating chapters between the two writers. It dies show a little but it's the spilt of the artists that's most jarring. Most of it is pretty solid but Dale Eaglesham on chapter 4 really isn't up to it. Stiff ugly and characterless. Like a considerably less talented Curt Swan.
The story seemed a little bit pointless but I'm sure at some point down the line I'll pick up something else that'll help me assemble the pieces. I know Karate Kid is all through 52 so Final Crisis seems the direction to head.
An interesting diversion. Nothing more.
