I don't ...Just read this and really enjoyed it.<br />I don't think Luthor has personal feelings as such, more possesive.<br />Re Luhtor and Braniac temaing up, that felt quite natural to me - but that's a feeling coming from my view of them as big Superman villains, not down to any knowledge of actual comic history.<br />I too will drop this if The Superboy section is removed.Sarangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03545162612237984546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-41146377121847624602009-09-15T20:41:51.838-04:002009-09-15T20:41:51.838-04:00I doubt that will happen, though, since it also so...<i>I doubt that will happen, though, since it also sounded to me like the Legion will simply be given the whole book.

Then again, we're only two issues in. Since Didio has now stated Superboy will be phased out of the book, I would like Supergirl to be phased in. I've brought this up before, and I think it's only fair. This new version of the book was given to Superboy and the Legion as an homage to the original version. To continue that homage with Supergirl being brought in would only be fair since she also had a starring role in the original version. I doubt that will happen, though, since it also sounded to me like the Legion will simply be given the whole book. Still, I hope someone at DC is at least considering bringing Supergirl into the book.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16681297866387365297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-82898330238152538042009-09-15T03:33:54.034-04:002009-09-15T03:33:54.034-04:00having just read dan didio's answers (at newsa...having just read dan didio's answers (at newsarama's 20 questions) regarding the future state of connor in 'adventure comics', i'll probably be dropping this title when that happens...Heath Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00334282325970098007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-43199593179317115392009-09-15T00:15:29.131-04:002009-09-15T00:15:29.131-04:00So, as easily and fleetingly pleased as I am, I wa...So, as easily and fleetingly pleased as I am, I was thrilled by the passing mention of Cassie's original "Young Justice" look, and thoroughly entertained by Krypto's antics (the best dog ever).<br /><br />However, I just feel the need to point out that, if Luthor's making a Bizarro Superboy, I'm going to vomit.<br /><br />Otherwise, I really dig this book so far, and agree with Heath Edwards regarding the level of interest in Conner relative to the Legion back-up stories.<br /><br />--Yota.Yotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07101654298319387595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-31804501551923617592009-09-14T19:58:44.031-04:002009-09-14T19:58:44.031-04:00And going by the first couple of questions at:
