LOSH #12 concludes the current series in an incredibly good place before setting the table for Future State. Read Full Review

So overall a very fun, action-packed issue capping the first year of this book. I just hope that there will be future issues and that they will keep up this level of story-telling. Read Full Review

Overall, I give high marks for the series as a whole. This issue, though, was a bit of a stumble. Read Full Review

It's big, it's messy and it's a little too much at times, but overall, this makes for a nice finale to this sadly short-lived series. Read Full Review

Wherever the Legion goes next (in "Future State" and beyond), they are building on a satisfying foundation from these 12 issues, which provide an excellent end point until the next chapter arrives. Read Full Review

It doesn't feel like this run is over, because a new subplot is dropped right before the end"maybe it'll be followed up on in next week's Future State spinoff. But if this is the last regular issue, Bendis definitely bit off more than he could chew in only twelve issues. No surprise"Legion is a notoriously tricky property. Read Full Review

Overall, Legion of Super-Heroes #12 is just as erratic as the entire run has been. It's as if Bendis can't tell his good ideas from his bad ideas. Clearly, he's had some good ideas for this series, but they seem to get the short shrift in favor of his bad ideas. It's easy to see this in this issue as Imra's character is much more intriguing than the botched characterization of Mon-El or the almost impressively boring Rogol Zaar storyline. Who would've thought Bendis would hinge his entire Superman run on this lame character? While Legion of Super-Heroes has been better on the whole than either Superman or Action Comics, these twelve issue are still disappointing. Jon should've been the hook for this series, but Bendis never really allows the reader into Jon's head. Jon is just one of a cast of 33(?) who get a bit of page time. While the end of the issue touts Future State: Legion of Super-Heroes as the continuation of this tale, one has to wonder how it will function. Read Full Review

Initially, Bendis used the floating name tags, geography banners, and a few word bubble tricks (Way to go Saturn Girl! No problem Superboy!) to keep the readers informed, will that continue moving forward into Future State? Join me next week, to find out. Read Full Review

If this truly is the end of this era of the Legion its a mercy killing as this book never managed to gain much traction beyond Bendis fascination with his aged-up Jonathan Kent. Read Full Review

Ugh, I want so badly to like this, but there's just nothing good about it but the art. Bendis always loses focus when he has more than one or two characters to handle, and this book has about eleven million of them. I want to care about Gold Lantern's weird ring, but twelve issues in I know literally nothing about the character except that he's named Gold Lantern; I want to be moved by Lightning Lass's realization that she likes being a Legionnaire, but how can I when she basically hasn't been seen in the 12 issues since she joined under protest? A lot of good writers have had a hard time meeting the considerable challenge of LoSH's gigantic cast, and Bendis just doesn't have the specific skills to handle it.

muh grandbabies

Just remember, DC could've had Hickman on this title.

Another failed LSH reboot. Lets get back to the real LSH, without the millstone of Bendis.
