Legion of Super-Heroes: The Curse by James T. Sherman, Dave Cockrum, Kurt Schaffenberger, Curt Swan, Keith Giffen, Larry Mahlstedt, Howard Bender, Joe Staton, Paul Levitz, Dave Gibbons

3.0

There are a lot of stories in this collection of 17 issues and two annuals and events with major consequences for the Legion and lots of early 80's comic book drama. These stories are for me a feel good combination of the Legion's optimistic outlook on the future as well as complex and darker challenges faced by the team (parents killed, members secretly replaced, children kidnapped) while facing the usual plots and attacks by foes both old and new. I enjoyed Giffen's art the most but there are a great number of great guest artists as there are two annuals and the special 300th issue in this run. I have always enjoyed the Legion and it's large cast of members and these stories do a great job of utilizing all of them. Collecting Legion of Super-Heroes #297-313 & Annual #2-3.
