Legion Lost #0 is a pretty standard origin story for the most interesting character in the title, supplying enough action and drama for the title to transition smoothly into its next issue. Timber Wolf receives a solid retelling of his backstory and motivation for his career as a vigilante/Legion member. In the end, Tom DeFalco’s story is enough to justify this issue’s existence, but it’s unlikely to be your favorite book this week.
Pete Woods is strong this month, driving the book’s action with some great perspectives and motion. The old pro effortlessly conveys the fury and tragedy of DeFalco’s story, as the plot swirls between past and present. In fact, the work is so good that it can almost tell the story without any text at all.
When so many #0 titles are falling short of spectacular, Legion Lost #0 actually gives readers a reason to tune in. The story’s skeleton is a bit familiar, but the Woods’ execution is worth the price of admission.
