I have not been keeping up to date with Heroes Reborn – only so much money in the bank, and I want to come back to this one in the trade.
But Bandini still does a good job, and has these really expressive characters that fit very well with this emotions-first storytelling. If I ran things, I would have put Byrne on the first half and Bandini on the second – Byrne’s kids seem young which fits the IG story well, and, hey, sometimes you just have to bow to nominative determinism. Legion arguably owes more to Archie then it does to Superman, and Hyperion and the Imperial Squad follows in that same vein.īoth Bandini and Stephen Byrne are really good fits for the comic, as well.
For the sort of comic that they’re aping – for the Legion, regardless of the iteration, that’s the most important thing. In the backup, it’s really about the familial relationship of the Summerses. There’s a plot and all that, but what it’s really about is Hyperion’s love with Oracle, and Neutron’s with Flashfire, and Gladiator’s love for all of them. Oh, sure, there’s the stuff with Darkseid and the Daxamites, but there’s a significant sub-plot about how Lightning Lass thinks that Saturn Girl is sleeping with her boyfriend.Īnd it’s the same here. Look at the Great Darkness Saga, for instance. As much as they are about fighting Mordru or the Fatal Five or Prince Evillo, they’re about who’s sleeping with who, and who wants to sleep with who. Juggernaut, the Black Skull, the Silver Witch and Thanos with his Infinity Rings.To avoid spoilers, I won’t go too deeply into what happens in this comic’s plot, but Ryan Cady and Michele Bandini manage to perfectly capture the feel of a Legion of Super-Heroes book. And now the Squadron faces an attack from some of their fiercest enemies, like Dr. Instead this world has always been protected by Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, the Squadron Supreme of America.
And where Captain America was never found in the ice because there were no Avengers to find him. Where Thor is a hard-drinking atheist who despises hammers. But why is the Daywalker Blade the one man alive who seems to remember that the entire world has somehow been…reborn?Ī WORLD WITHOUT AVENGERS! Welcome to a world where Tony Stark never built an Iron Man armor. Juggernaut, the Black Skull, the Silver Witch and Thanos with his Infinity Rings. A WORLD WITHOUT AVENGERS! Welcome to a world where Tony Stark never built an Iron Man armor.
