Herc #10

Legion Lost #1

Sep 28, 2011

Nicieza and Woods are more talented than this issue gives them credit. In the long run, I see this series improving vastly, with the Legionnaires getting into fun and dangerous situations while trapped in their past. The characters appearing may not be the most popular Legionnaires, but I think this series will give them a chance to shine.

This issue was a big improvement over the previous and Im hoping Nicieza and Woods can keep it up.
