And Then I Read: LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES 6

This issue begins in an area of 31st century Japan which has clearly been devastated by war or natural disasters or both. We see cities under protective domes surrounded by what looks like seas of molten lava. Not all sweetness and light in this future. The fire-loving Legionnaires on a mission here have their work cut out for them. Meanwhile, Dragonwing, a Japanese heroine who breathes green fire (which must make for tricky dates), is looking for her sister, and when she finds her, things don't go well. Other plotlines involve Dream Girl and Star Boy (who, with his beard, should be Star Man by now), Mon-El and Brainiac 5, and The Dominators hatching more trouble. Not a bad issue with some interesting moments.

The art by Francis Portela is good, though his faces and body language don't always work for me, some figures are a bit stiff and doll-like. But overall he does a fine job.

Recommended.
