Maybe the least favorite.Sam Rutzickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14624414688093197810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-654896555810820412015-11-26T00:05:47.545-05:002015-11-26T00:05:47.545-05:00I don't think the hunt for the Wanderers was f...I don't think the hunt for the Wanderers was followed up in the LSH, but in their own (short-lived) series the Legion showed up and mentioned that they had been searching for them for a while. The real Wanderers were dead, but a Controller cloned them (with some alterations) and implanted the originals' memories.Otto Sellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04776234775816814926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-76589807679606978232015-11-24T12:15:51.078-05:002015-11-24T12:15:51.078-05:00I know that many mourned the loss of Laurel, but I...I know that many mourned the loss of Laurel, but I thought this was an almost elegant solution to two continuity problems; de-linking her from Supes mythos and the compulsary cross-over. It's a pity they didn't keep her around though.<br /><br />The other thing I liked is how Tellus & Polar Boy receive some great characterization. I love how cranky Tellus gets when he thinks he's being disrespected and his sadness at Brek's shallowness.<br />I also love Brek being portrayed as not the best leader (when you look at the Subs stories they're always more effective being directed by someone else. Cos, Brainy, Jaques & even Tenzil).<br />I love Brek to bits and having this weak spot in his capabilities adds more to him as a character, not less.RicGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15402490648983811985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-91378401698782615472015-11-24T09:31:01.706-05:002015-11-24T09:31:01.706-05:00Millennium, the event, sucked. Individual crossove...Millennium, the event, sucked. Individual crossover issues were generally better, but it all depended on whether or not you liked who the Manhunter was revealed to be, whether it blew up the supporting cast, and whether or not it was shocking enough. With Laurel, while it made sense of her story post-Crisis, divorcing her from Clark Kent while we could still believe the pre-Crisis version of her HAD Kryptonian blood (which we saw shed in that Legion Annual where she gets shot by an assassin hunting the Justice League's descendants, in seeming contradiction to this reveal), I actually felt the loss of the character. One of the first Legion stories I read was about Legion Academy, and I liked Laurel as a character who wanted to do good, but knew she would never join the Legion with her oft-repeated power.<br /><br />In other Millennium tie-ins, Booster Gold's manager was revealed to be a Manhunter, which made me angry because it hurt the supporting cast. In Blue Beetle, it turned out to be the villain Overthrow, which was a complete cop-out because he wasn't someone close to Ted. So damned if you do, and damned if you don't, I guess.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.com
