When it's done I'd like to see the security folks back or whomever is in the position now. I'm also not sure everyone's little origin stories don't still fit. With Colossal Boy, for example, there's nothing that says he wasn't on on Mars cannoodling with Gigi when exposed to that rock and then caught proto-Starfinger with her. yeah, Tinya is redone a bit (and maybe it's because she's not my cup of tea but I didn't see any gratuitousness to the butt shot) but what did she and Bgtzl have before this. She had a brother and that's the extent of what we knew, right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-55471877449174697092012-02-02T14:17:40.189+00:002012-02-02T14:17:40.189+00:00Yep, avenging Superboy.

One of my favorite thing...NOW they're working!<br /><br />One of my favorite things about this series (and Legion) is the (new?) notion that Braniac 5's force field really is head-and-shoulders above any similar technology, and the concurrent revelation that it can't be shared because of its unique (and so far unrevealed) power source. Color me curious, Greenie.Rob S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07331286524477806963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-19603756967880737172012-01-29T09:13:47.874+00:002012-01-29T09:13:47.874+00:00Something's up ...

Every time I...I really can't stand this series. Every time I see it on my standing order list I feel like 'oh no, I'll have to read this.'<br /><br />The framing device is bizarre and really stands in the way of any interest in the supposedly lead characters developing.<br /><br />Like last issue when Phantom Girl joined the Legion more or less off panel.<br /><br />Each of these characters had their own little origin story in the olden days and it doesn't work here. Who are these three busy bodies presiding over everything? Using them as the framing device is a massive impediment to generating any interest in the title characters.<br /><br />Paul Levitz was my favourite Legion writer but he doesn't seem to be adapting to the times well. They should let him go back to having thought bubbles and narration boxes if it helps him tell the story - there should be room for all sorts of comics writing. I doubt this is going to attract new readers anyway...And-Ruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17477156728610469053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-35881764041020282782012-01-27T15:45:34.215+00:002012-01-27T15:45:34.215+00:00I really hope this series gets collected into a ha...I really hope this series gets collected into a hard cover or trade paperback...Baron von Renablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120915564679536475noreply@blogger.com
