This title makes a major jump in thought provoking excitement with the second collection. In fact, it’s kinda brilliant. I’ve never read a hero comic like this. I have to give credit to Spurrier (who also wrote The Spire which I likes,) he finally managed to write an interesting Legion book. This takes full advantage of the fascinating weirdness that is this spikey haired mutant.The Blindfold romance is also perfect. It’s all so well done.Really nice tie in with spoilery events of Uncanny Avenge...

Fun and satisfying read.

3.5 starsBetter written than (the also pretty good) vol1, but still not among Spurrier’s best work. David’s coupling with Blindfold and his related tampering with a prophesied future are both entertaining, as is his interaction with the X-Men. I’m also interested in his proactive scheme for mutant justice in contrast to his dad’s reactive “spandex squad,” and I’m increasingly surprised how much the emotional core of this series overlaps with the eventual plot of FX’s Legion, given the two are ot...

David Haller has decided to be proactive. Rather than waiting for the sword to fall or the bomb to drop, like the X-Men, David is taking out enemies to mutant kind before they can strike. Meanwhile David is also forming a relationship with Blindfold and it's looking like love.Invasive Exotics fell flat for me. They attempted to be funny, but it missed the mark.Even the action moments were forgettable. David's budding love for Blindfold was the highpoint of the volume. It was good to see two outc...

I love David so much, you can never predict just what he's going to do next!Also, I adore the insight into his thoughts about the X-Men, and the X-Men's thoughts on him. He's the child of their fallen leader, and yet, they can never see eye to eye with each other. They can't even call him by his name, they always call him Legion, no matter how many times he tells them to stop. It's so sad to see, but I love reading their interactions with him, it's one of my favourite things about this run.

Legion is trying to survive on his own, while trying to date Blindspot, and saving the world.This is an interesting story about him being proactive, trying to stop bad things before they happen. The other side is a growing danger inside his own brain, that is unresolved.A good read.

So, the X-camps have been divided in three ways for some time now.Cyclops has had his militant people.Wolverine has had his schoolWhen Professor X was alive, he and Magneto had another group that sort of followed them around, but still hung out in Cyclop's camp. Eventually that group disbanded, when Xavier died, but for the most part, they have been the main cast of X-men Legacy. X-men: Legacy is actually the continuation of the X-men book that began in the 90s written by Chris Claremont and dra...

I liked the complexity with this one, the series is starting to show some grit. Although, for all it merits, I felt it was downplayed by that deus ex machina thing with Santi, and I still think David Haller's relationship with Blindfold is a total waste of Space and should be eliminated altogether.

The fact that this sat on my nightstand for more than a year between the time I started it and the time I finished it probably says a lot about how strongly I feel about it. Like the TV adaptation of the character (which bears almost no similarities), there were things I liked about this volume and things that I found frustrating. Overall, though, it kind of left me cold. I would love to see a TV or movie adaptation of the character that brought in the entirety of the X universe, though. Perhaps...

Continuing on the graphic novel series for Legion - after watching the first season of the TV show. The show is very different from the graphic novel but really enjoy both. The artwork in the graphic novel is amazing!

I didn't enjoy this one quite as much as the first volume, maybe because it seemed so similar. I didn't mention it in the review of Vol. 1 but the art is decent for the series, it does really fit the story. This volume has some humor in it, as the first volume did. The X-Men do put in an appearance. The series comes across as a bit YA, so if you are a YA fan you may want to pick this series up. If you're not, it's still enjoyable. I would say read the first volume, and if you like it, pick this

(2.5) This book started off clunky and boring for me but towards the end it gets better. I vaguely remember vol.1 having read it months ago (maybe longer) Legion decided to leave the x-men and travel on his own, a little soul searching if you will. He tracks down a zealous religious group claiming to cure mutants and then moves on to a organization who has the cure. This all stems from a vision he is having of becoming an uncontrollable monster. There is a nice twist at the end that saves the bo...

I was liking this book, but the way that the last storyline resolved felt like a bit of a letdown. For a character whose stated purpose is to be proactive and avoid loud team displays, David is awfully quick to use a loud, reactive team as a strategy.

Another short but strong volume in this great series.

So after watching the second season of Legion (not as good as the first, but I loved some moments), I decided to give this comic a second try. It's not as good as the show, but I loved some moments. I like that Legion is not a hero, and not exactly a villain either, but his lack of self-awareness grates on me. I think this is handled better in the show, with the other strong, well-developed characters giving David shit about his actions. BUT. Aside from the 90s kid show and the movies I don't kn...

I still have no idea what to think about this series. The art is shaky and cartoon-ish (which I do not like) and the story is wee bit poorly written (word wee is in this volume at least 50 times). And here comes the main character David. Nearly omnipotent and yet so boring. For 12 issues I have been waiting for him to do SOMETHING. But not yet. Maybe next issue ? :D His internal struggle is displayed as prison break but it has no effect on his behavior in the real world. Is he really struggling

Maybe I am just missing it, but I do not see what is so great about this run of comics. The narrative feels largely reliant on a knowledge of everything going on in X-men comics, and when you are reading more than one run of X-men at a time it can be very confusing.

I thought I had picked up a different X-book, but apparently I ended up with this. Le sigh.The first volume of Legion/David Haller/Charles Xavier’s love child/first rate loon’s adventures didn’t do that much for me, so I revisited this one with much trepidation, and basically it’s more of the same. One key difference is this time we aren’t in David’s head as much, as he continues to struggle to sort out his gazillion abilities. The unifying thread that held my interest throughout this madness wa...

Continuing the great x-read of 2017/18...I continued to really enjoy this series. Honestly, if it weren't for the big twist reveal at the end (which I loathed but if I were to get into the whys, it would give heavy spoilers for this as well as another x-series. It isn't this author's fault - I'm just not a fan of that character/arc at all), I would probably rate this much higher.One thing that gives this story points for me is the interesting use of x-characters. I love blindfold in this book, b...

Definitely not your usual superhero book. It was an interesting read but I didn't feel strongly about it in either a positive or negative way. Also I know this is volume 2 so maybe I should have started with the first one instead of picking this up at random. (Chronology? I don't know her.) Still, the story wasn't hard to follow without reading from the beginnig. Maybe the only thing I was missing out on is the relationship background and development between David and Ruth but I can live with th...
