After the space that arrives on earth in Naomi, star screenwriter Brian Michael Bendis composes in Legion Of Super-Heroes, a purely optimistic and collective science fiction series.

Legion of Super-Heroes: Positive Science Fiction

In the future, a group of teenagers, each from a different planet, form the Legion to defend the union of the planets. This mass of characters can be disconcerting, but the screenwriter facilitates the understanding of the neophyte. Each chapter begins with a summary made by one of the legionaries. Superboy is the candid who allows the reader to understand this future because the legionnaires come looking for him to spread the values of superheroes in this future. The editor also facilitates the understanding of this little-known team in France by the preface explaining all the history and an image helps to locate the characters. This large team is a way for the screenwriter to praise diversity. There are different colors of skins, of course aliens and different builds. True to its origins, the legion brings an optimistic vision of science fiction. This narrative is also light by the jokes that dot the dialogues. Superboy meets the Legion

A comic about adolescence

Bendis constructs a narrative about adolescence with strong-willed and idealistic heroes. Ultra Boy defends the unity of his planet Rimbor despite being ravaged by a holy war. Their impulsive actions sometimes make them clumsy. The situation is more complex for Superboy who not only does not know the codes of the future but even less those of the different planets. Relations with their parents are sometimes stormy. Ultra Boy is in conflict with his father. Ashamed of his origins, he emancipated himself from his strict and authoritarian upbringing by becoming a superhero in the Legion hated by his father. Although it is not a series from the Wonder Comics label, it incorporates the revival of the DC youth universe coordinated by Brian M. Bendis as Naomi and Young Justice.

A cartoonist in the stars

A diversity team The volume opens with a prelude by DC Comics' star cartoonists (Jim Lee, Dustin Nguyen, Andrea Sorrentino, Nicola Scott, Jim Cheung) where the reader travels into the various futures of DC through the ambivalent character of the Thorn. Then, Ryan Sook directs a large part of the episodes. This classic cartoonist composes very beautiful double pages that are perfectly suited for massive fight scenes and futuristic settings. Through bright and clear colors, realistic and smiling faces, he plunges the reader into the optimistic tone of the story. Bendis proves here his newfound value since his departure from Marvel comics. This volume gives a very good moment of reading by giving an optimistic vision of the future.
