Reading Legion Lost feels like reading a nineties comic someone told you was really, really good… only for you to go back and read it to discover it’s okay, but painfully endemic of the period. I mean, where Woods came up with the hairstyles is beyond me….
It’s not a bad issue, it’s just a terribly mediocre one (with some bad elements). First and foremost, Nicieza uses first person narration and it’s rather bad. He’s not able to make it a distinguishable personality among the lost Legionaries. Even though there’s a little logo telling me who it is, I’m not familiar enough with the logos. I think it’s Timber Wolf. Pretty sure.
The content seems, like much of the new DC, a rehash of recent Marvel stuff. A little Civil War, a little of Bendis’s energy guy. Nicieza’s not even feigning originality.
Lost is pointless and passable. It’s totally harmless.
Pointless, passable, and harmless. Now there’s a recommendation if I ever heard one. Good thing I’m not a Legion fan…
