Return of the Legion of Superheroes..eventually

Legion of Superheroes: Millennium: Two Issue Mini Series

Brian Michael Bendis (w) Various (a)  

if you were like me and ordered these comics in the belief that these would be the start of new Legion adventures then you'd be wrong, though I'm sure all this will fall into place when the new legion comic comes out next month. This two part mini-series focuses on the future history of the DC Universe through the eyes of the rather long lived Rose Forrest of "Rose and Thorn" fame. A woman with two personalities.

 Deprived of her meds that keep Thorn in check Rose is on a quest that eventually takes us to the Legion of Superheroes but in-between we are shown that the worlds of Batman Beyond, Kamandi and Omac all somehow fit in the timeline. No idea how lots to be explored and explained by Bendis as he brings new life to the future.

The legion of Superheroes was always a personal favourite growing up even if Superboy (and later Supergirl's) participation was problematic for continuity but I was a kid and comics were for kids. they just grew up with me and fellow fans. Heck one of my favourite all-time stories is The Darkness Saga second only to the original Crisis On Infinite Earths!

The Legion have gone through so many transformations and some were left stranded on Earth during the "New 52" and the new crowd look a little different to the old. I suppose I'll get used to the new look and the fact it's not Superman as a boy but his son Jon Kent who joins the Legion.

Rating: 5 Stars: I'm intrigued!
