February 7, 2012 4:06 pm The iFanboy Legion bashing always annoys me. Have to say that the current Legion books aren't that great, but I get the feeling that these guys just don't like the concept of the Legion in any shape or form.

February 6, 2012 5:03 pm Haha. Great Gil Kane/Tomb of Dracula homage!

February 6, 2012 5:01 pm Ouch! Low numbers. There is just too much Legion product on the shelf these days -- and too much of it is mediocre. Woods' artwork is saving this. I think Nicieza would have improved, but the initial arc did little for me. Didn't think DeFalco was a great choice for his replacement (maybe Tony Bedard?), but I'll sample his issues to see how he does.

February 6, 2012 4:56 pm I was one of the few who had no problem with Barbara walking again. But really expected a better series. My problems with it are many: 1) Don't care for Barbara's iffyness. This being a nu universe, they should just have forgot the Killing Joke. It makes no sense that a character who was in a wheelchair would risk returning to it -- especially this version of Barbara who is lacking in confidence and ability. I mean, she was shocked that she was able to lasso a guy falling off the bridge, and had problems taking on four non-powered crooks. Not impressive. 2) I don't think the art is good. The inks are decent, the layouts and poses are mostly subpar, and seem to actually be getting worse. 3) With the exception of Gordon, the supporting cast seems one-dimensional -- and mosty annoying -- especially Babs' landlady/roommate. 4) Bab's voice is kina annoying. Certainly not the confident woman she was prior to nu -- or even way back in the Silver Age. I think this is Adam Hughes's final cover, and a good stepping off point for me. Really, I'd recomend a complete change of creators. Sorry, but this is some of Gail's worst work to date.

February 6, 2012 4:49 pm Doubt if this will be as good as Ellis's run, but I'm signing on for Hank Pym. Hawkeye looks too Ultimates Hawkeye for my tastes.

February 6, 2012 4:46 pm Well, this will test how much I really like the stories. I think Reeder will be okay, but no one can replace Williaims!

January 31, 2012 12:46 am I'm an old school Defenders fan -- especially of the Steve Gerber era, but the David Anthony Kraft stories were pretty good too. So far, this isn't doing much for me. Even the art seems off. I'll give it until issue 6 to win me over. An appearance by Nighthawk and Hellcat wouldn't hurt.

January 23, 2012 11:45 pm I have the floppies, and really don't feel the need for an omnibus. But this was a much better appraoch to Hawkman that what DC is currently slopping out.

January 23, 2012 11:43 pm Will be missed. I think this was much stronger than Defenders has been to date, but a team of 3rd string characters is a hard sale these days. Just ask the Agents of Atlas.

January 23, 2012 11:41 pm Mindwarp would not be missed.
