As this mini-series continues to trickle out, extending the Final Crisis far beyond its expiration date, we can be grateful for one thing: each issue is well worth the wait.That's because Legion of 3 Worlds features an artist and writer turning in outstanding work.
On the art side, we have George Perez, as inked by Scott Koblish. They're turning in yet another issue that's lush with detail and power, jammed with huge battles and life-and-death conflict, but at no time do we struggle to follow the flow of the story, and each character is clearly drawn and easily identified.
And while Perez is famous for his crowded splash pages, here he delivers a double-page splash that is both simple and iconic.
On the writing side, we have Geoff Johns, wielding his continuity repair kit to great effect. He has three versions of the Legion of Super-Heroes in play, along with their greatest villains - oh, and don't forget Superman and the hated Superboy Prime.
Johns has already cleared up one particularly bad bit of business, bringing back Kid Flash (or Impulse) into mainstream continuity. He also manages several other surprises in this issue, which leads to a warning: don't flip ahead in this book, or you'll spoil more than one tasty surprise!
If you're a Legion fan, you definitely need to be reading this comic. Here's hoping we see that final issue sometime before the next Crisis...
