And Then I Read: LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES 23

Last issue of this run of LSH. Last issue ever? Of course not. The series which began in 1958 has had many incarnations and several pauses, but always comes back for more, and I’m sure it will again. But there’s something really satisfying about this particular book. For once, writer Paul Levitz can give us some conclusions instead of the eternal cliffhangers. Sure, the plot resolutions may not please everyone, they certainly don’t please Brainiac-5, but in today’s comics world it’s refreshing to be able to step away from the eternal fighting, scheming and destruction of most monthly titles for a little reflection and even a smile or two. The art by Kevin Maguire is excellent, best art I’ve seen on this title in a long time. He takes it out proudly.

Highly recommended.
