Rated T+
An interesting read with some delightful imagery of the inside of a power mutant's mind suffering from multiple personality disorder. Tammi, the self-described ‘nightclub singer and occasional good-time girl' persona who assist Dr. Jones in her attempt to save David is used by writer Peter Milligan incredibly well. Tammi provides the reader with the primary narrative as well as clues one might use to discern who Lord Trauma is and where his motives derive from. An interesting take on a great character, and as for what's next for David Haller, Dr. Hannah Jones, and Tammi, as a magic 8 ball might say: OUTLOOK NOT SO GOOD. Read Full Review
Though the art still doesn't fully utilize what a character like Legion can do, LEGION #2 excels in its characterization by pitting David's mind against -- and sometimes with -- Hannah in unique ways. Read Full Review
Legion #2 has enjoyable, trippy visuals but it's not enough to save the book from the poor dialogue, lame not-Legion protagonist, and underwhelming story. Read Full Review
After a promising start, Legion has begun to spin its wheels, providing plenty of ideas in captions, but failing to play them out on the page. Read Full Review
David Haller dumps Hannah the psychologist into his mindscape with zero preparation. Therein she encounters Tami and tons of yippee-skippy symbology, like a super-low-rent imitation of Alan Moore at his most whimsically magical. Though the script is far from flawless, I can just believe that the writer is earnestly trying to tell a good story. I do not get a similarly earnest impression from the art, and the contrast leaves this issue doubly disappointing.
