Recasts LSH as teen rebel movement, but not completely without cause. Galactic war threatens, and Legion represents teen voice and involvement.

Mark Waid's relaunch of the classic Legion of Super Heroes brings great Buffy the Vampire Slayer-type wit and action to the premise. These are real teen emotions in the context of cosmic adventure. Recommended for most all readers, especialy comic book and science fiction fans.

Teenage Revolution is the first collection of the 2004 reboot of the Legion of Super-Heroes series. As a long-time Legion fan, I picked up the first few issues, but other concerns at the led me to stop buying comics. (for a while, anyway) Even if I didn't have to give up comics, however, I don't
Five years later. I pick up this collection at the Library sale. Maybe I've mellowed, maybe I'm just over the shock, but this here's good stuff. I like the way how Mr. Waid has truly remade the characters and 31st Century milieu for the 21st Century. In many ways, he's truly come up with brand new characters, while still drawing inspiration from the previous incarnations. I can't say that all the changes are pleasant, but I can't say that I hate them either. I think I'm getting hooked... again. I wonder if the old fans reading the new Flash in 1955 felt the same way.

know if I would have continued to follow this latest incarnation of the Legion. The art was great, but the writing... Well, as the title of this collection implies, a big theme of the 2004 Legion was the generation gap. Mr. Waid presented us with a Legion in conflict with its elders, one whose motto was not "Long Live the Legion!" but rather "Eat it, Grandpa!" Now I'm not anywhere near grandpa-hood (at least I better not be!), but I am too old to be swept up in youthful idealism. I found that I wasn't identifying with the Legionnaires, as in times past, but rather finding excuses for their critics. Whether that was a good or a bad thing, I don't know. I do know that I found the comic to be less entertaining. Five years later. I pick up this collection at the Library sale.
