Oct 30, 2010I think what most impressed me about the story and what I enjoyed the most about the book is that it surprised me. I expected these monsters to band together to fight a threat; the cover led me down that path, after all. Instead, the conflict is among them. The Starseed is not only benign but potentially benevolent, but these monsters, unable to control themselves (save for Ghost Rider), turn out to be the both the heroes and the villains in their own stories. These monsters are pitiable, and that they unwittingly allow their salvations to slip through their fingers because they give into the monstrous natures they want to cast off is, in an odd way, tragic and a little touching.

_Marvel Premiere_ issue #28 is honestly pretty bad. It is a disposable story that fans of Ghost Rider, Man-Thing, Morbius or Werewolf by Night can safely skip. Having said that, it is not without its own particular charms, making it not entirely unreadable. I expected more from the story by Bill Mantlo, though in retrospect, the concept of a "Legion of Monsters" seems like it would be difficult to execute well. Once one is (quickly) over the "wow, that would be _so_ cool" initial reaction, it quickly becomes evident that creating an interesting story around these four is problematic. The art by Frank Robbins isn't very good either, and his style is not well-suited for this genre or these characters. _Marvel Premiere_ issue #28 is laug more
