no one gave it a 10/10 if you click that Matt Llloyd review at the top, his actual score was 3.5/5. Someone screwed up.

Oct 02, 2020First off, just truly stunning work by Jenny Frison, a favorite of mine.Second, we start out with her name being Xola Aq, a throwback. I wonder if she will ever be called Mysa.And then the twist. She is Mordru's daughter. And no one else knows. She hates Mordru. But she also hates the President. Read Full Review

Sep 29, 2020These last two issues have easily been the strongest in Bendis Legion run. If he can expand his focus beyond his adoration for his revamped Jonathan Kent, this could become a title worth getting excited about every month. Read Full Review

Comic Crusaders - Kevin Given
Oct 06, 2020The Legion of Superheroes seems to be getting back to its roots and doing so in an awesome way. I enjoyed this issue as it seems to be setting us up for great things to come. We get some excellent guest stars from the DC hero gallery and all seems to be righting itself in this universe. I can't wait for the next issue. Read Full Review

Sep 29, 2020The "Trial of the Legion of Super-Heroes" stands out as a solid celebration of the team and its many characters, even if it could have been even better. Read Full Review

Black Nerd Problems - Morgan Hampton
Sep 30, 2020While it was a fun and often exciting way to read a comic, I do think the story suffered a bit from this approach. It quickly got formulaic and after a while, you wanted something else to happen. Read Full Review

Oct 02, 2020They had me at Doctor Bouncing Boy, but this issue really fills in some gaps and feels as tense as it should. Well-done all around. Read Full Review

DC Comics News - Matthew Lloyd
Sep 29, 2020Because character holds a lot of weight with me, this issue gets a higher rating than maybe it should. The minimal story and apparent forthcoming rehash of "The Great Darkness Saga" is underwhelming. The last thing we need is a retelling of one of the Legion's greatest stories. However, the character spotlights give readers a chance to get to know the Legionnaires in this incarnation, that after nearly a year in to the title is sorely lacking. Read Full Review

Oct 03, 2020Another art spectacular gives us a bunch of new looks at some Legionnaires, while moving the story along nicely. This is a pretty wild issue overall. Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - Charles Hartford
Sep 29, 2020When all is said and done Legion of Super-Heroes #9 delivers a story that is enjoyable, if a bit overstuffed. The menagerie of art styles does more to overwhelm the reader than add to the story. Hopefully, next months issue will settle down a bit on all counts. Read Full Review

Dark Knight News - Carl Bryan
Oct 01, 2020I appreciated all the artistic interpretations, but it's time for this book to become grounded, and get out of the Bendis formula. Over in Three Jokers, Geoff Johns is telling stories with six to seven frames a page. I need more meat on these Legion bones! Read Full Review

Very curious to see this story and implications of Jon with Imra. Good art and good story for a once.

Part Four of the "Amazing Story of Gold Lantern" and it's a doozy. First, is that his knee on the cover? Later an entire panel to himself, where he plays a pivotal role in summarizing the things all the other Legionnaires have been saying! And a reference to Oa and its Elders, adding more to the rich Gold Lantern Club mythos. But wait, the action kicks into high gear a few pages later when he soars into the spotlight to catch the baddie! More secrets are revealed about the Gold Lantern Club and nothing will ever be the same! Looking forward to the next issue for more twists in the Amazing "Story of the Gold Lantern Saga"!

This is mostly a mess. I did like some spotlight on some of the legion. Makes me wish DC did a line of one shots featuring the various legionnaires.

Bendis continues his attempt to destroy the Legion. Hopefully he'll be off this title very soon and a writer will be on the book. The highlight of this issue was seeing Legion legend, Mike Grell draw a page. Otherwise, there was some good art, some decent art and some absolutely awful art that looks like a first grader drew it.

All the chapters sound like an attempt to buy time while Bendis thinks about what to do, superboy lost seven years of his life in a volcano and returns without any repercussions to be separated from his family again and is suddenly in love, why? She is literally a thousand years younger than him, it's too soon! Absolutely everything around Bendis and Jon is forced, what was special about the character has disappeared

This is a uniquely awful comic. Nothing is good about it and everybody who has given it a 10/10 should be ashamed of themselves.
