With DCs plan to cancel poor-selling books after just six issues if they dont pick up Im just glad things are getting accelerated plot-wise.karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07814365568280298681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-14681254903341373992011-11-11T22:40:54.267+00:002011-11-11T22:40:54.267+00:00Tyroc's secret?

It's Milli Vanilli all over again.<br /><br />(Actually, a recent interview with Fabian indicated that he had to shuffle some of the plot around in order to make the first issue more slam-bang at DC's request. Maybe the secret mentioned in the solicitations is an artifact of Plan A?)Rob S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07331286524477806963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-50464968279642021212011-11-11T22:38:30.303+00:002011-11-11T22:38:30.303+00:00enjoyed it, but i'm still hoping all those cha...enjoyed it, but i'm still hoping all those characters will be put back in the regular legion title.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-60579589161120577862011-11-11T22:33:24.175+00:002011-11-11T22:33:24.175+00:00Glad you're enjoying it too, Rob.

(I see the university has been making their trademark 'O' look like it has a pupil ...) I'm not wrong though, am I - that is a DiDio store at the mall, inside the book?) Probably Bob DiDio! Er, any idea about Tyroc's secret?<br /><br />Cheers, Novelty. Er, any idea about Tyroc's secret?<br /><br />I'm most looking forward to Tyroc's turn at the narrative bat, Rob - I feel I don't know him at all.

I saw the cover and my heart sank: I thought it looked messy and confusing, with the Red Rage monster's colouring too close to the red colour of the word 'Lost'.<br /><br />But I was pleasantly surprised by the contents. I really like this device that the writer is using - of giving a different character the narrative voice each issue. Timber Wolf had better characterisation than he has had in a while (ditto with Wildfire last issue). I suppose it's possible to give each character more development when there's currently only a handful of them.<br /><br />After having pretty much disliked the plot of the first issue, this is growing on me and is firmly in my buy pile now.<br /><br />Oh, and I'm glad about the twist on the final page. Makes you appreciate the question on the cover more...Rob Yhttp://www.robyeung.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-35546106039697629872011-11-11T13:16:02.515+00:002011-11-11T13:16:02.515+00:00Another great review as usual.

It started a little shaky (though I liked issue 1 better than most), but I think thinks have become much more clear for new readers, and the issue sets the mind at ease for old ones, too.Rob S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07331286524477806963noreply@blogger.com
