Legion of Super-Heroes #5 review

On Earth, the Legion deals with a xenophobic attack on the camp housing survivors of Titan’s destruction. On Naltor, Oan spawn Diogenes fails again in his bid to find a new Green Lantern, as a member of the cast turns him down and throws in an insult to boot. And back on Earth, a longtime […]
