I’m intrigued by the Bedard storyline thus far. Also, although Calero’s art sometimes gets sloppy - note Mekt’s change in hairstyle from one frame to the next in the digit decapitation sequence - I like it for the most part…especially the facial expressions. The Calero - Eyring draw/coloring team reminds me a bit of Jae Lee - Dave Kemp’s work with the Inhumans MK series 8-9 years ago - heavy (over)use of shadow - especially on the characters faces and body - but a very rich color palatte - I really like that. Calero’s backgrounds are more detailed than Lee’s were/are. He just neds to tidy things up some.

oh believe me I’ve been reading those. In fact I knew nothing about Tyroc. In fact that panel where Tyroc is told he has to stay behind on guard duty is from one of the stories I do have. But it didn’t tell me anything about him. In fact in the article on Starboy you show him from the same issue and what with only having cheap B/W copies I always thought Starboy was black. When he was reintroduced in the current series I didn’t even know he had been changed.

One of my old issues had Laurel Kent, but I gather she was never really a big part.

Wow. Props to the creative team for making super-eating look badass.

I�ve been collecting the current series from the start and I like the grittier setting. I was going to say that Bouncing boy would probably end up being some sort of wire-fu expert but I noticed you point him out several weeks ago. I have to admit I only have 1 or 2 old Legion comics from late 70�s/early 80�s, where the timeline get�s changed and only Tom Welling (If I may follow the lead) knows the difference, so I haven�t seen ludicrous heroes like Matter Eater lad or Bouncing boy before. Well, in that case, may I direct you to our fine array of Hero Histories, which may assist with that issue? :) Blok Bouncing Boy Brainiac 5 Colossal Boy Dawnstar Dream Girl Karate Kid Lightning Lass Matter-Eater Lad Sensor Girl Star Boy Timber Wolf Tyroc Wildfire XS

I kind fo fell sorry for Mekt since he basically was set up by the Wanderers. Makes you think who is real leader behind the team.

I love me a comic that doesn’t pull punches (Age of Apocalypse, where established characters get dealt with permanently is my favourite series) and I like that matter eater lad reacts swiftly to displays of rudeness. You left out the frame where Matter eater lad backhanded one of the children onto the floor though. For those unfamiliar that’s why only one child is shown dealt with.

Unlike some comics I haven’t seriously considered dropping Legion although I’m not too fond of Supergirl, which I hear will leave soon. At one point I thought the biological weapon the Dominators mentioned was a supergirl clone.

HOLY $#!+ is right!
M-E Lad bititng people’s fingers off is awsome.
It’s also a more effective way to show how bad ass you are, as opposed to getting into a verbal t�te-�-t�te.

I agree with you on what worked in this issue but I’m afraid what didn’t work overshadowed them vastly for me. I suspect this issue was actually work of Bizarro Bedard. No way would the regular one churn out such a lame script or accept an artist so spectacularly unsuited to illustrating it!
