Title: Strong Start for Legendary Group of Heroes
Product review: The first volume of the DC Archive Editions of the "Legion of Super-Heroes" spans from 1958-1963 and covers the first appearances of what has become the premier heroic team of the future in all comics. While the plots often feel dated, there are enough nuggets here that readers can recognize the foundations of the characters. Despite the gap of more than five decades, some of the stories--the introduction of Mon-el and his struggle to break free from the Phantom Zone, the death of one of the three founders of the team--point towards what the team would be. There is an excellent introduction by Mike Gold. Still, the book is not for everyone and there is a cheaper version on the market in the DC Showcase edition though the pictures are not in color. However, fans of the Legion and comics fans in general will enjoy this book.
