Legion is a convoluted mind-bender of a character, something the new TV series has captured pretty perfectly in its first season. This new miniseries reads like something Marvel probably should have put out 18 months ago before the TV series debuted - a clean, easy gateway into David Haller's world. Legion #1 isn't as weird or ambitious as it could be, but it does a decent job of conveying the appeal of this character.
Where or how this series is supposed to fit into larger X-Men continuity is unclear. Last time we saw David at the end of Legacy, he had written himself out of existence. It's best treated as its own, standalone tale. Writer Peter Milligan and artist Wilfredo Torres ignore the X-Men and David's Xavier family ties in favor of crafting a lean, relatively straightforward story about David's many alternate personalities threatened by the rise of an all-powerful, domineering new personality. The premise isn't so different from Si Spurrier and Tan Eng Huat's first X-Men Legacy arc, though Milligan and Torres spend far less time inside the psychedelic landscape that is David's mind.
