But I really have no idea, honestly.Green Luthorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11808312988625889127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-87630801194881780302019-01-01T08:58:27.895-05:002019-01-01T08:58:27.895-05:00You basically summed up my entire problem with thi...You basically summed up my entire problem with this series. :-)<br />There are good points but overall I think most would agree that this series had more potential rather than actual success.

I remember being excited about a member of the LSH getting their own comic and being let down when it was in current times and not in the future. One of the big reasons I love the Legion is the whole scifi setting and this series was very far removed from that. And the art was a bit of a let down as well. Especially with that wonderful cover to number one by Mike Grell and not being quite as magical looking on the inside. This whole comic could have been so much more. Ok, I am going on here, thanks for listening.Mark Cashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18366071401362479115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-23703959860038323632018-12-31T17:01:57.841-05:002018-12-31T17:01:57.841-05:00Okay, I stand corrected, although....these you sho...Okay, I stand corrected, although....these you show are all HIGH schools. Iris works at an elementary school. But I agree that they may exist. How did kids get from the top to the bottom, may I ask...just stairs, I guess?Russell Burbagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756652514507714383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-73081752632448207872018-12-31T14:42:48.224-05:002018-12-31T14:42:48.224-05:00I'm not from New York, so I don't know how...I'm not from New York, so I don't know how common it is, but there *are* five-story public schools there.
