OK, I was willing to dismiss prior arguments about Gim's portrayal as an incompetent goof, but even I have to say this is getting ridiculous.

Also, the alternate cover has Quislet on it, so that's a very good sign.

Only a year in and I'm already bored. Not a good sign. The best thing happening for the Legion was Jimenez and now he's going. The regular Legion title is just feeling 'generic', from the writing to the art, which is the last thing it needs after multiple reboots. Come on team, crank it up!

As one of the biggest Gim fans out there, I actually don't mind the pretty inept showing he's had in the book so far. At least he's making regular appearances. Which is more than I can say for lots of the other MIA members. I'd like to think his clumsiness is a story leading somewhere though... but I doubt it.
Count me in as not a fan of the bloody opening. Since when did being a boring kill-machine make for an interesting LSV member Paul? All those interestingly-powered and interestingly-visualed characters that you and other writers have come up with in the past, and this run has brought us a generic evil kill-robot, a generic evil kill-lady and a generic evil kill-monster. None of which are interesting to look at or read about IMO.
I'm willing to wait out a few more issues... but I'm also really starting to miss Geoff Johns' work with this team. I know posters around here didn't like it, but at least it was fresh and exciting. And had great art.

I agree with everything you said except the part about Phil Jiminez "going"? This is something you know or just speculating because his name is absent from one issue? If it's the former - spill the details please. If it's the latter - no need to be all 'The sky's falling' just because an artist misses one issue. It'll just create unnecessary consternation in fandom.

The main book is dragging and getting more and more boring. The artwork is taking a steep nosedive lately. I really wish someone would put more effort into this book. Talk about massive decompression storytelling. File under snooze. I prefer Adventure Comics over this title. DC, make Jimenez the main artist.

There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.

Lightning Lord seems to be following Saturn Queen's inane 'kill everyone, take the winners' style of LSV recruitment.
Meh. I guess if they had good judgement, they wouldn't spend half their lives in and out of prison.

I'm starting to wonder if Colossal Boy is brain damaged?
@Blacula- Phil's name is missing from the credits of the next two issues of Adventure Comics, the second of which is the conclusion of the Legion Academy story arc according to the solicits.
Dan DiDio has stated, according to newsarama.com & Comic Shop News, that after this Legion Academy story arc, Adventure Comics will be featuring characters from Brightest Day who are not popular enough to sustain their own title.

You're right, maybe I'm jumping the gun, but the solicitation for 526 reads "The conclusion to Paul Levitz and Phil Jimenez's "Legion Academy" arc!" and the following TWO issues are Jimenez-less. I also read that DC pulled him to do other projects, but that was just on a message board somewhere, so does't necessarily mean its true. I really hope its not and he's just taking a short break before he comes back to us. I'm not gonna hold my breath though...
