In his way stands Paradise, a small town almost forgettable if not for its legendary sheriff, Diana Prince. The West's only lawwoman, Prince soon finds her town destroyed and sets out to stop the man-machine responsible: Lord Havoc! In her quest she enlists the help of a motley team of gunslingers: Kid Flash, the fastest gun in the West; Katar Johnson, Cheyenne shaman with a mystic wing-harness; Booster Gold, maverick gambler for hire; and Beetle, the wild-eyed inventor.

In an Elseworld where Supergirl was raised by Wonder Woman and Batgirl is a vigilante who keeps Gotham City safe from villainy, there could never be two more different super-heroines. But when the love of Supergirl's life is kidnapped by the Joker, the champions of Gotham and Metropolis must form a reluctant partnership.

The 10th Legion of Super-Heroes volume in DC's invaluable Archive Editions series catches the Legion in a period of transition in the early 1970s.The LSH was relegated to seven-page stories in the back of Superboy's comic (and not even every issue), and because that's not the ideal format to cover 30 heroes, most of the stories concentrate on a couple Legionnaires. Soon the Legion became popular enough that the title eventually became Superboy Starring the Legion of Super-Heroes, and the issues in this volume do contain a number of milestones of Legion lore. Wildfire makes his debut as an applicant named ERG-1 in issue #195, Bouncing Boy and Duo Damsel get married in issue #200, and then there were the sexy new costumes, including Saturn Girl's pink bikini and Phantom Girl's bell bottoms. The 232-page book includes biographies of the creative talent (including one-shot inker Mike Grell, who would go on to make his own mark on the Legion) and a nice introduction by the artist who grew up on the Legion during this period, Dave Cockrum, before he went on to help reinvent the X-Men.--David Horiuchi
