Legion of Super-Heroes #38

I'm hooked! Jim Shooter's return to "Legion of Super-Heroes" has breathed new life into the book. After such a long absence from writing these characters combined with all the restarts and reboots, I thought it would take Shooter 4-6 issues to get back up to speed. This was not the case. Shooter has hit the ground running and has captured each member's characterization. The art by Francis Manapul is the cherry on top of the Shooter sundae. Manipul produces some nice pages giving a lot of detail. This first arc is moving forward quickly and is setting up new characters, new situations, and future plot lines along the way.

This is the way to come back to a title. Take note, Shooter is in full form here.
