You know he's almost in the same school as Parobeck. The Hughes fill-in is a wonder in and of itself. I've by no means ready as many LSH comics as all of you, perhaps about a hundred comics at this point from all different series. But so far, the best has been the first year of 5YL (despite some flaws in Giffens art like the faces)...and this.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561650765010596098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-19486911515551967152016-03-22T15:13:04.346-04:002016-03-22T15:13:04.346-04:00I wonder how much the Birnbaums disliked Lighting ...I wonder how much the Birnbaums disliked Lighting Lad? Between the way the younger version here is written and the Proty revelation we saw with the adult version, they really must have hated him. And definitely didn't seem to like the idea of him and Saturn Girl as a couple.wwk5dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-15417330252523328152015-12-28T19:29:59.209-05:002015-12-28T19:29:59.209-05:00I collected the first year and a half of this and ...I collected the first year and a half of this and liked it as a diversion, a throwback book.

For many 5YL fans, the Legionnaires were a distraction created for all the OTHER fans who perhaps didn't like the dark, dense direction the book had taken. I liked both!Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-27257728178957317132015-12-27T07:32:11.680-05:002015-12-27T07:32:11.680-05:00So glad you're covering this corner of the 5YL...So glad you're covering this corner of the 5YL universe - Chris Sprouse's work on this title was something else, and the tone established here really did provide a template of sorts for the next 5-6 years of Legion storytelling.<br /><br />I look forward to reliving this era through your recaps!marksweeneyjrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13798312028718544923noreply@blogger.com
