The idea of interweaving a new story amidst a comic's origin has been done well elsewhere, but sadly not here. Instead, it's kind of incoherent. There were some elements I liked -- the way this story better linked the really sporadic early Legion stories. However, beyond that we get a menace that never really gels and is overly obvious at the end. We get bits of real Legion history that will probably be meaningless to everyone but big fans. Oh, and we get very annoying narrative from the Security Council for three whole issues (presumably until someone told Levitz to quit). Despite the good bits, as a whole the story is pretty mediocre.
