And Then I Read: LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES 22

A story of ruin and destruction develops its own inertia. After an issue or two, you know things are going toward utter destruction. The interest is in seeing how the heroes struggle to turn the tide, even when the tide seems unturnable. Paul Levitz does a good job with this, giving individual LSH members their moment to shine, to hold back the waves a little, even as the tide rises. The art by Jeff Johnson and Andy Smith is effective and appealing, lots of energy, but nice drama and character moments too. I particularly liked Polar Boy against Tharok, a very Paul Levitz moment.

Recommended.
