  Legion of Super Heroes #39 was a fantastic read. Shooter has returned the fun and excitement to this title.

  Newcomers to the Legion and those who are wary to jump into a book that's already nearly 40-issues deep and stars fifty year-old characters (albeit modern variations of them), should note that Jim Shooter comes from the age and school of thought of comic book writers who truly believe that every issue should be accessible to first-time readers, which means this issue – the third part of his arc – is still incredibly easy to follow for non-Legion fans. I highly recommend getting on board this title, if not to experience a well-told soap opera, than to witness a silver-age comics legend working with an Image-styled artist like Francis Manapul. It's a fascinating combination, and dare I say that it works pretty damn well. Read Full Review
