4.0

While I truly enjoyed this book, my main criticism is that someone with very little or no knowledge of the Legion might not be able to follow these essays. Some are clear enough that even the least knowledgeable would be fine, but there are a couple that would just lose those same people. Aside from that, every essay in this book is awesome. I love love love that there is an entire organization dedicated to promoting comics and graphic novels as legitimate sources of scholarship. Geeks have long believed this was so, but many in the non-geeky world have scoffed. My hope is that many more books like this appear. Long live the Legion! And not to mix characters/creators, but Excelsior!
