And Then I Read: LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES 7

I'm continuing to enjoy the writing of Paul Levitz on this book. Despite a somewhat misleading cover, the story opens at the home of the United Planets Council, who have asked the Legion for protection, and despite that, one of their number has been murdered. The perpetrators are found through some clever sleuthing, and the battle is on. Meanwhile, Monel and Earth-Man have a confrontation over their mutual admiration for Shadow Lass, and it's a classic. In a backup story Brainiac 5 and Chameleon Boy travel to Naltor to talk to Professor Li, who is turning into quite an interesting mystery herself.

The art on each story is fine if not remarkable. Here's a nice action scene, well handled by Cinar and Faucher. At times the faces tend to look too much alike, but in most ways this is perfectly fine work. The backup by Portela is of the same quality.

Recommended.
