So disappointing. The Legion is my favorite group in comics and has been for many, many years. I was very happy when it was announced that they were finally coming back and now, I'm very disappointed in this mess that Bendis has delivered.
I HATE the changes made to all of the characters (changing their race, etc.). It just makes no sense. The Legion has always been diverse, with ch more

What the hell are DC doing allowing Bendis to handle the LSH relaunch? Apart from the art, it is a complete mess. It will probably be the end of the LSH franchise.

I'm clearly not the demographic this comic is aimed at, but what the hell.

Daphne settles into her new life as a resident of Rycroft Manor, and the unique challenge of living with ghosts. Pros: they don't steal her food. Cons: It's the first date she's been on since Ronnie, and her roommates keep popping up all over the place. Literally.

Well well. Her ex is gay.That explains everything. His behaviour is instantly forgiven.
As if living with ghosts weren't enough of a problem, Daphne has personal drama she never expected. The jerk of an ex who dumped her? Turns out, not a jerk, because when he said "It's not you, it's me," he really meant "I think I might be gay, and you're not my type." So now Daphne has to be a supportive friend, get over a long term relationship, a...
