Comic Genius

I went to the comic book store today. Legion of Three worlds was one of the books I intended to pick up because…well, it’s Superboy Prime. Also, I read the preview on Newsarama earlier this week and it caught my attention.

See, I can’t even say that I know more than a couple members of the Legion of Super-Heroes. To me, it’s kind of hard to say that you’ll pick up a book and start reading it when you know absolutely nothing about the characters. With all the other books I read on a regular basis, I have at least a tiny bit of prior knowledge. But with the Legion, not much is there for me. There is, of course, the recent cartoon to take into consideration. I watched a couple episodes, but I just haven’t had time to delve into it seriously. I liked the version that was on Justice League Unlimited when Supergirl, Green Arrow, and Green Lantern were taken into the future by Legionnaires Brainiac 5 and Bouncing Boy. That’s only two characters, I know.

Knowing that Superboy Prime is going to be part of Legion of Three Worlds makes it easier for me to read. And, I give just about anything with Geoff Johns’ name attached to it a chance these days. He’s also said that George Perez is going to draw every Legionnaire EVER, so that will be a sight to see.

But, I’ll have to wait to see how it turns out. The comic book shop was sold out of copies when I went today. They are expecting more on Thursday, so I’ll have to stop by when I’m in town next weekend.
