This first issue was simply stunning, it had it all. The opening scene was fantastic; Superboy Prime landing in 3008 Smallville. The same couple that open the Action Comics
Legion arc, Jun and Mara find SuperBoy in their field. Before they have a chance to kill another alien that has landed in their corn field SBP incinerates them. I always wondered why they never got their due.
This first scene firmly establishes that we're back in current Legion continuity. It's a very cool small ouch and something Geoff Johns excels at.
Now obviously some exposition is called for and it all happens naturally. The Jimmy Olsen hologram is the perfect way to setup the story and at the same time propel it forward. Plus it was very corny; the Hall of A 1000 Olsens??? LOL
When we first see the Legion they're exactly where we left them in Action Comics; being treated like crap by the UP Government. This is the first scene that stopped me in my tracks. The design work the George Perez demonstrates in that opening shot is stunning. The UP chamber is a marvel.
We're quickly caught up in all the various factions and the death of a long time supporting Legion character is shocking.
I kept thinking it was a fake out. I've always liked that character and really think he's needed for the future.
The revelation that the Legion of Super-Villains looked to Superboy Prime as inspiration was an inspired touch! It was one of those "Duh!" moments that Johns excels at. When everything makes sense and fits perfectly. This to me was the best moments in this issue.
If Superman inspired the Legion than surely some 30th Century villains have been inspired by 20th bad guys. Brilliant!
Legion of 3 Worlds met all my expectations with the exception of being a Final Crisis tie in. I don’t see the connection so far, hopefully that will be made clear in the issue ahead.
Art: 5 - Excellent
