The issue is filled with small character spotlights that blend humor, action, and heart to evoke an optimistic spirit. Read Full Review

This is a really fun and exciting issue of Legion as everybody jumps into action and a lot of everybodies get a chance to shine in that action. Read Full Review

Legion of Superheroes #6 continues to expand the world of the 31st century while sowing seeds for future conflicts. Read Full Review

The shining star of the book is (to no one's surprise) the artist, Ryan Sook. He took advantage of the multitude of chances for amazing action shots. The feel was wonderfully 70's Jack Kirby. I particularly liked the face-off between some massive Lantern energy and a huge torrent. The Legion must be a treat to draw and design with the flurry of unfamiliar characters speeding through space, dodging lasers, and blasting energy. I want to back track this series if for no other reason to see which characters are recurring and which are completely created for one or two comics. Read Full Review

When all is said and done, Legion of Super-Heroes #6 provides a solid wrap up to the Legion's first confrontation in their new series. With that business out of the way, I look forward to seeing where the Legion will go from here. Read Full Review

The previous arc, which dealt with Computo getting Jon up to speed, was a little slow. This one is much more like what a Legion title should be, and the last few pages have a nice twist that shows how the Legion can be a game-changer for a devastated Earth. I don't know if Bendis plans to stay on the Legion after he wraps his Superman run, but he has a good handle on this unique world. Read Full Review

Don't get too excited by the cover because for all the punching and blasting, there's not much to know about the future here. Read Full Review

Despite great art and well-written and snappy dialog,Legion of Super-Heroes #6 is only a so-so book, brought down by Bendis historical problems with pacing and plotting. Read Full Review

Any writer would have a time balancing 30 team members, but Bendis' tendency to focus on one conversation while the larger plot goes on in the background emphasizes that challenge, and this issue, like the previous five, feels like it's intentionally teasing us about revealing information about the team, the UP and the greater scheme of things, leaving many questions still unaddressed. That said, Legion of Super-Heroes #6 is about the grand gesture of giving New Earth the oceans of its past, thus allowing the Legion a big PR win, and it does that quite well, with art that works more often than not.

Legion should be a better book, but it rarely stands on its own and feels more like another Bendis greatest hits edition with the same tired dialogue and inconsistent narrative. Read Full Review

The climax of this issue is one that is somewhat predictable but welcoming as the good guys get a much-needed win, and New Earth receives what it needs to begin a new millennium; hope and renewal. Given the current state of the world right now, I allowed myself multiple reads, stare lovingly at Sook's rendering of Saturn Girl, drink a cold glass of water… and smile. Long live the Legion!   Read Full Review

The roster grows… well at least it appears to, so how do we continue to keep up? The readers and long time fans need more solid roots for a bit, to kelp us get to know everyone introduced thus far. Newcomers have to get some traction with these heroes, and older fans need to move towards either accepting this new Legion incarnation. or dismissing it, as it's not their Legion of old. Either way, let's take a breath Mr. Bendis, give us some character development, and let us enjoy this Legion. Put a bouncer at the door… the dance floor's overcrowded. Read Full Review

Legion of Super-Heroes is unable to find its footing and relies on the excellent art to cover up its shortcomings. Read Full Review

We get the wrap up of the first storyline, but it's not really very exciting. Perhaps, Legion of Super-Heroes would be a better title if there was a stronger focus on character like issues #4 and #5. The Aquaman's Trident storyline wasn't very interesting to begin with and it has played out as such. Legion of Super-Heroes #6 is prettyto look at, but overall there's so much more that could be done with the book and cast of characters. Read Full Review

I crave a successful Legion series and I had hoped that Bendis would be able to break the cycle a bit after what's come before and give it the things it needed. I do think that a lot of what's here does work and would work overall, but the introductions, executions, and chaos of it all just leaves it without the heart it needs. There's simply so much going on so fast and without any connection for the reader to invest in that you're left on the sidelines, simply flipping the pages and admiring the artwork. I'm hopeful that the next round of issues will start to smooth this out now that the opening story is done but if it doesn't then I'll be hoping for a new writing team to come on board.

Fortunately, Ryan Sook's pencils elevate this book from being a bad comic to just being a badly told story. The pencil lines are neat and clean, and you get some nice heroic poses of many of the characters. Sook has always delivered great interiors, and his artwork is the only reason to even think about picking this one up. (Well, that and the wild speculation market that thrives on first appearances of new characters.) Read Full Review

If you're willing to forgive the bait-and-switch of the cover, this is a beautifully illustrated book, despite its pacing leaving a bit to be desired. Read Full Review

Oh well. At least the art by Ryan Sook is nice to look at. It is the only redeeming factor of this series thus far as a whole. This is pretty rough. Read Full Review

It starts here! The new superstar hero of the 1000th century, Gold Lantern, in his bombastic debut! He has such an amazing story, wait till you hear it -- and it starts here! I'm psyched I can tell you, this is going to be an epic tale unfolding in coming months. Buy two copies because GL (that's Gold Lantern) could be the biggest breakout of this new Legion!

I keep by it because I love the Legion, but after I read each issue, I continue to be SO disappointed. Please get a new creative team on this book and bring back the Legion.

If that's how DC's future looks like, well the future looks bleak, to paraphrase Ministry's newest song, Alert Level, condemning the direction we, humanity, took, and the dire consequences we're going to face unless we course correct it right now. We head towards future we all reject.
Same can be said about Bendis' Legion comics. It's not a vision of the future we'd like to see on the store shelves every month. The series lacks soul, tension and fun which you can experience in other ensemble comics, you know, the good ones like The Terrifics or Justice League Dark. Modern day Legion feels so... corporate, like it was designed not to tell stories but rather serve as nice looking advertisement models. And for the most part they fail and feel unrelatable with their wide smiles and no personalities, like they were cut out of toothpaste commercials. Probably only Imra resembles a character at this point, but my guess is, Bendis is going to want her to become Superboy's crush, at least judging by teases and glimpses I've seen so far. I honestly wouldn't mind that, though, maybe sexual tension would bring some life into the series, but anyways I fear that even if, it's going to be a pretty artifficial relationship. On that's meant to be, but doesn't really work. more

Sorry, what? I was so distracted by the bad dialogue I think I missed most of the incomprehensible plot.

"Oh man, this battle is real tough! We need back-up, Koi Boi! And we need Furious Lunge too! And Gigantic-Man! And who else but DNA Str(m)an(d)! Don't forget Limb Collector Cortez! And what type of Legion would we be without Legless Girl (no relation to Limb Collector Cortez)? Ooo, and here comes Splat-Man and Tyrannosaurus-Flex! And you, Scarecrow, I'll miss you most of all!!"

I spent my entire time reading this book not understanding what the hell was going on, and I read every issue before this one. Honestly, I am a fan of Brian Michael Bendis's work, but the stuff that he has going on at DC has not struck my fancy as of late. The artwork in this issue is a mixed bag, because while the characters do not look awful, it is really difficult to understand what is going on in the background. The issue just feels like a mess of stuff is happening and the reader is supposed to somehow follow through with all of it. Not to mention, there are just way too many characters for any moment to be truly appreciated. Also, the cover straight up lies to you, it says Doctor Fate is in the book, but he is not. 2/10

More Bendis shit! Can he please retire and let somebody with talent write these books?!?!?!?
