One day you should do a guest post for us. <BR/><BR/>Legion is one of those books that I will always go back and re-read (what I have in Archives). I will never love the current versions as much, but I have to say this is one of those books I follow for the characters as much as anything else.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00352163584546054887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33311991.post-43517127130081840612008-08-27T16:08:00.000-04:002008-08-27T16:08:00.000-04:00Hey Jim.Of the books you reviewed that I read:JLA ...Hey Jim.<BR/><BR/>Of the books you reviewed that I read:<BR/><BR/>JLA -- I didn't find Canary's delegation to Batman out of character at all. In fact, I found it the best she's been since BoP. Batman smarts off at her, trying to control things? She turned it around on him in a witty way, letting him feel like he had control, but getting him to do the grunt work. Awesome! It reminded me of how she was handled in the early Giffen/McGuire JL series, and was better than she's been handled in every issue of GA/BC that I read before I bailed on that book. What was weird was that the cover had almost nothing to do with this issue. It seemed more like a cover for next issue considering it gave away who was manipulating their powers before the book itself has.<BR/><BR/>S/B: First time I've picked up this book since issue 12, and I have to say it was a nice one. Great art, cute story, looking forward to next issue. (And yeah, lil' Bats and lil' Supes origins were a hoot!)<BR/><BR/>Legion of 3 worlds: It was great to see Perez artwork, but the story had SOOOO much exposition about Superboy Prime (who I hate) that it didn't feel like it really got started until two pages from the end. It felt like a swan song for my time with the legion, reminding me that there's very little I care about in either of the current 2 versions of the Legion (I find Johns' take on Brainy particularly grating). For many years Legion was at the top of my read pile, but I think those days are so far gone that, sadly, I can't come home again.Davyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09332729248943434130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33311991.post-47178622974078223492008-08-27T01:51:00.000-04:002008-08-27T01:51:00.000-04:00I can't say I'm sad to see Young X-Men go - what a...I can't say I'm sad to see Young X-Men go - what a weird bookGwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14840270045390557504noreply@blogger.com
