Buy Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds

One of the worst things as a baseball fan is to see a pitcher for your team on the mound for 6 or 7 wonderful innings and then fall apart at the end of the game. That's how "Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds" is. The art by Perez is excellent and the story by Johns was fine until the end when he tried to wrap things up a bit too quickly and undermined a good deal of the story. There are some funny moments to be sure and those help propel the story along but the book fails to deliver on the truly emotional moments--characters long since dead return with barely a blink of an eye while other characters die to universal shrugs. The lead villain is Superboy Prime, who truly represents the banality of evil--instead of a dark brooding Romantic bad guy, he is a whiny brat. There is no motivation provided though and that is frustrating. The surreal, almost post-modern, ending for Superboy Prime was baffling to say the least and was a better idea on paper than in reality. With three different versions of the Legion on stage, there is little room for character development for the heroes though there are some funny scenes as the three versions of Brainiac 5 meet and annoy each other with their insufferable arrogance and overweening intellects. This is not a bad book by any means and it really had my admiration but the ending left such a bad taste in my mouth that I see this book is merely alright instead of good.Get more detail about Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds.
