But we agree on a lot of the big points. Both characters seem to lash out too quickly and then complain about being attacked all the time. In the end, I think it was too early for these two to meet.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-68288677081328485312012-02-09T02:24:10.942+00:002012-02-09T02:24:10.942+00:00I *do* plan to read that eventually, and I expect ...I *do* plan to read that eventually, and I expect to really like it.

And it's been out there for, what, 15 years now?<br /><br />It's enough to make me recall my much-belated realization about Matter-Eater Lad's home planet...<br /><br />Regardless, I have to admit I'm kind of dreading when Legion: Lost crosses over with the hot mess that is the Titans. I don't think there's another franchise this side of Star Wars that I've done such a 180 in fandom than the Teen Titans. Still love some of the Wolfman/Perez characters, but whenever they've been a book together, the whole thing smells of rotten fish parts stitched together by Dr. Frankenstein. Everything's past its sell-by date, and only associates with each other for unnatural reasons.Rob S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07331286524477806963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-83514008932425144292012-02-08T22:32:56.717+00:002012-02-08T22:32:56.717+00:00Blame it on Kara's camel toe.
