"RIDE, MONSTERS, RIDE! Humans are being killed in a wave of monster attacks…but the monsters are innocent! With a mystery murderer on the loose, and the survival of humanity at stake, Elsa Bloodstone and her sworn enemies the Legion of Monsters team up and hit the road!"
Two issues in, "Legion of Monsters" is a wildly fun layered romp, with a significant mystery buried at the center. Solid character work, strong writing, and recklessly wonderful art have come together to make one hell of a book. Read Full Review
The biggest problems with the issue come with the plot, which is already meandering somewhat aimlessly, making me worry about how it will fill 5 issues, and the price point. It may be an arbitrary assessment in my head, but 20 pages of story for $3.99 would have to be REALLY special for me not to grouse a little, and this book's overall entertainment value isn't quite there. I would have gone 3 stars (possibly 3.5) if the total package wasn't overpriced, and I say that as a long-term fan of Bloodstone, of Morbius, and as a proud owner of the original appearance of the LoM in magazine form. Legion of Monsters #2 takes a scenic route through a less-traveled bit of the Marvel Universe, earning a well-crafted 2.5 out of 5 stars overall. If Daimon and Johnny Blaze join up for a monthly ongoing, though, I'm in. Read Full Review
