I guess he never developed magnetic shields to protect him from projectiles. <br /><br />I have always regarded Cos as one of Levitz's favorites this time around but he barely did much except monitor duty. We also get to see his favorite Dream Girl here too and also Mon-El. They should never have had the Legion fan election because Mon as leader was one of the worst developments for stories. <br /><br />Regarding Hadru, he appeared to speed up his own metabolism. I wonder if Levitz was going to explore him using his powers like Gazelle? <br /><br />The story ends with the cavalry being female Legionnaires who don't get to do much. I imagine many readers would have liked to have seen Night Girl join a battle. Poor Shady, at least she gets one line here but she has been grossly ignored for most of this volume, relegated to training. <br /><br />The only character who was slightly redeemed was Tinya, but her characterization did seem odd. In the #0 issue, we saw Tinya floating without flight ring. We see her here, walking on air. Was this a liberty being taken by Kolins or part of a new take on Tinya I wonder? Perhaps Levitz was trying to set some things up that would never see fruition.marvelboy74https://www.blogger.com/profile/13962731689660859167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-3704454552368707352017-12-30T13:41:47.689-05:002017-12-30T13:41:47.689-05:00Interesting theory.

I feel the Dominator was definitely decompressed. marvelboy74https://www.blogger.com/profile/13962731689660859167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-34510943908883508692017-12-29T11:14:31.574-05:002017-12-29T11:14:31.574-05:00'feel' not 'fell' (haha).'feel' not 'fell' (haha).Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14267403631542001938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-77374937259488428002017-12-29T11:14:09.780-05:002017-12-29T11:14:09.780-05:00I agree with your Scott Kolins art assessment.

Perhaps it's Levitz's attempts to follow the 'modern' trend of decompressed storytelling, and it's throwing off the rhythms of his legendary mix of subplot backburners and main story speed? Just a guess. Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14267403631542001938noreply@blogger.com
