This may be next to the last visit for a while to this particular Legion iteration.

It’s a shame that the final boss was taken out so easily, and there should’ve been more follow up on Terror Firma’s accusations against the UP, but it was a good time to end it as it was starting to go on a bit long.

Atom Girl seems like a fun addition to the cast. A brasher personality than previous versions, but the problem with the numerous restarts is that it doesn’t leave time for more nuanced characterizations. Almost every Legionnare needs to be fully formed when introduced or they risk never being fleshed out at all.

Favorite page:

It really nails the fact that he’s really a giant that shrinks.
