Unless an Iron Curtain of Time has suddenly sprung up, why would they believe MM?<br /><br />I'm no fan of repeated panels, but it makes me smile to see Gates appear as J'onn leaves. And yes, the little fella was always a bit anti-authority, and a tad Socialist.<br /><br />I really can't see how the LSH could allow their focus to be pulled away from the virus storyline - we've been on a countdown since issue one, and things are only going to get worse. A get-out could be that the virus has travelled as far as it can, and settled on humans who will, over generations, evolve to form the people of the United Planets, as seen last month.<br /><br />I really enjoyed the script, I'm not worried at all about Tom DeFalco. Maybe he'll bring back the Human Cannonball from his Superman Family days.<br /><br />I am, though, dreading the tie-ins to Superboy, Titans, Ravagers and bloomin' NOWHERE.Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-34018000581032776422012-02-13T18:50:07.176-05:002012-02-13T18:50:07.176-05:00It's always great to see Matt Camp's gorge...It's always great to see Matt Camp's gorgeous art. However, the problem I have with this book relates to the parent title. As shown last month, "Legion of Super-Heroes" is jam-packed with characters, some of whom only get a few panels a month to shine. That book feels like it's been spinning its wheels, as if there's no big-picture plan in sight. It was a good idea to take six or seven team members and have them star in "Legion Lost," but the end result is that the parent book still has too many characters and not enough pages per month to really tell a satisfying story. Gone are the days when Levitz could tell an epic "Great Darkness Saga"-style story in the space of five issues. That's not the fault of Levitz. He's a great writer. It's just the nature of modern comics, which are filled with double-page spreads less dialogue than in the old days (it feels that way sometimes), and a goal of "writing for the trade." The point of my rambling is this: I feel that "Legion Lost" should take place in the future, along with "Legion." This way, we would get inter-connected 40 total pages a month to tell faster-paced stories, which is very much needed at this point. Instead, we now have all of my favorite Legionaires isolated in the past, where they cannot help to propel the main storyline forward. I feel that there should be more of a "Legion Family" of books, much as there is a Superman Family. That way, we could have larger stories, told faster, which would possibly add readers, which both the Legion titles need.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
