For Free Comic Book Day, Boom! Studios has released a prologue to Abnett and Lanning (and main artist Brad Walker)'s upcoming series The Hypernaturals.

"It is the far future; the human race has finally colonized the galaxy, preserving an era of prosperity that's only possible because of The Hypernaturals. They're a celebrated, galaxy-wide superhero task force that keeps the peace. That is, until they all mysteriously vanish. Now, as the galaxy teeters on the brink of chaos, it's up to a group of retired and long forgotten Hypernaturals - and their novice recruits - to save the galaxy from complete destruction."

Wow can anyone say Legion of Superheroes rip off? Not that I'm not intrigued...

Well, at least it's a change of pace from the endless Superman pastiches we've had the past few years.

To be fair, Abnett and Lanning wrote something like 50 issues of Legion of Superheroes, and it was quite good. I'd say they're allowed to do a bit of ripping off.

Oh I actually have no problem with it at all. I adore the Legion.

You should read Legion Lost (the first one). It was pretty much DnA's start writing the Legion, and it's a great little sci-fi epic.

This could be a great opportunity for those who like the idea of LoSH, but who also complain that its history is too confusing to jump into. ;)
