What was I disappointed with? Up until the dreaded "Five Years Later" series and I stayed 'til the end on that one, I had been a hardcore Legion fan for decades. When I heard that Mark Waid would be writing I was thrilled. Writers with both a respect and knowledge of comics history and continuity are few and far between - and Mark Waid is one of them. I did not want to see just another reboot, I wanted to see the real Legion!
I wanted to see the Jim Shooter/Curt Swan/Cary Bates/Dave Cockrum/Paul Levitz/Mike Grell Legion of Super-Heroes that I loved so - the one that had a following and good sales, not to mention solid characters and terrific storytelling.
Unfortunately what I got was just another lousy reboot...
