Comics Briefly: Star Trek/Legion of Superheroes #6

Only one issue purchased this week, and it's likely to get even sparser from here on in. (See list at the bottom of this post)

Issue new in stores on 3/21/12

Star Trek/Legion of Superheroes #6
Writer: Chris Roberson, Pencils: Jeffery Moy, Inker: Philip Moy, Colors: Romulo Fajardo, Jr.

This issue wraps up this cute little crossover. Like most stories of its type, it's a fun exercise for fans, but nothing too special. There are a bunch of decent character beats as the Legion and the Enterprise Crew swiftly wrap up the plot: Brainiac and Spock are clever, Cosmic Boy and Saturn Girl show off their power, and Kirk makes a big speech about the idiocy of his enemy. Pretty standard stuff for these folks. There is one very odd panel that appears to be an art error: McCoy is clearly wielding a hypospray by the context, but the picture shows... a dagger? Well, everything is solved in short order and unraveling time paradoxes return both teams home with no one the wiser. This crossover was more fun in premise than in execution, but it was an amusing ride.


Comments about other issues this week:
Batman Beyond Unlimited #2
I read this in store. It's fine, I guess, with a couple of nice moments, but "fine" isn't worth 3.99 a month. I feel like supporting this book would just be frustrating for me.

Wonder Woman #7
This I haven't read all of yet, but I've seen some of the pages and heard the controversy. All I have to add is that I'm glad I've already dropped this book, and I have no intention of going back any time soon.
