It seems this story takes place in a soft reboot of the Legion, and focuses on Xs, a version of whom recently featured in The Flash television series. What I'm finding interesting is that the Nora Allen version of the character is actually my introduction to Xs, so this new old version is a bit off-putting. But that's just the way it is with superhero stories.
That aside, we join the story in the wake of a death, that of Kid Quantum, who I read a little bit yesterday. There was a lot of backstory stuff going on with the government that I didn't quite get, but Tom Peyer did what Tom Peyer does really well and there was some amazing dialogue in this issue. He's one of those writers who doesn't get the attention he ought to (though with The Wrong Earth, I would hope that changes), but he has a really deep and subtle understanding of the superhero. Hourman is just bloody brilliant.
More to follow.
