The legendary LEGION team of Paul Levitz and Keith Giffen are reunited and ready to put The Legion through hell as the Fatal Five make their deadly intentions known! The Legion faces the FATAL FIVE for the first time! Is the team ready to go toe-to-toe with the most destructive force of the 31st century?
If I could have had one comic book wish, it would be to have Levitz and Giffen reunited on Legion. You don't really understand: I've purchased twenty pages of Giffen's art, I've gotten Levitz to autograph too many comics, I was even a member of Interlac for a while. I'm a major Legion fan. My dream has come true and it has hit every one of my expectations. May this team never end! Long live the Legion! Read Full Review
