I too thought issue #9 was an excellent issue. It really should have been the #1 relaunch storyline. With it's focus on Dream Girl and Braniac 5 and the rest of the Legion as back drop, it would have been a much easier and exciting story line to introduce the team to new readers. Add in a couple of panels about the Legion Lost team becoming "lost" as prelude to explain why Braniac 5 was at the time institute, and this would have been perfect!
One of the failures of the past 9 issues has been the way the team has barely even acknowledged that 7 teammates have vanished. That crisis should have jumped out in issue #1 and remained a suplot throughout the series. That crisis tied with the Dominion storyline would have better explained the need to recruit the Legion Academy students into membership.
I hope issue #10 remains as strong. The only other plot development that would be helpful would be for Levitz to reveal that Harvest was part of the Dominion. That would help tie the two Legion titles and storylines closer together.
