Just to expand on this a bit. I just find this whole set of subplots ridiculous. That Yera's been a spy all this time, even after the first revelation. That the marriage to Colossal Boy was faked (and that the guy who hired her to spy on the Legion isn't familiar enough with them to remember his name?). Even allowing all of that, which is a huge stretch, the whole sequence of events to get her to this point is just flat out ridiculous to say it was planned all along. Add to that the fact that there's ANOTHER double agent on the team somewhere is just malarky.
Now I know Chameleon Girl isn't a fan favourite or anything, but she's a character with an established history and at least some characterisation. It seems like another unnecessary change without any worthwhile payoff that's been the hallmark of the DCnU. I was hoping the Legion would be somewhat insulated from this, but obviously not.

You had me at malarky.
I am stubbornly resisting dropping this title, since I have never willingly dropped a Legion title, but this is just crap.

One thing that I liked most about the Legion was their camaraderie. You know, "We are Legion", "Long Live the Legion" and all that. The idea of there being possibly more than one spy on the team... ugh. Doesn't matter who it is, if it isn't a new member I don't like the idea.

She'd be a triple agent then.

I dropped this title after the 4th or 5th issue...I'll flip through a new issue at the store each month and I'm always happy that my decision was the right choice. I REALLY hope this book is cancelled soon and it's all explained as some kind of head trip dream t legionnaires are experiencing due to being captured...or something?? And then they can be returned to the 30th century where they can fight the Fatal Five for the first time...oh wait...

Just read #13 today, and I have to say the storyline might actually lead to something interesting. I also feel that it will lead to the end of the series within a few issues now that the Science Police have linked up with the lost Legionnaires. At least they now have a ride home! Just not liking the idea of Tyroc dying in the 21st century. We'll have to see what happens.

Okay, this series has been a train wreck since issue #1. Rumors of its demise are swirling just as I'm starting to get into it. Typical. Dizzying alternate timeline stuff. Traitors, deep covers, and triple crosses! Science police with time bubbles. A troubling gravestone from a thousand years before a hero is born? Okay, Mr. DeFalco, you have my attention.

^^A bit like that Get Smart episode where Max infiltrates the KAOS cell, only to find it's entirely composed of infiltrators from the CIA, FBI, etc.?

/off-topic/ ^ They've started airing Get Smart on a channel here in Australia again and it's a show I have not seen in about 20 years but OH MY GOD IS IT FUNNY!!!!
Mel Brooks is usually very hit or miss with me but this show has me chuckling or laughing out loud every two minutes! And I don't think I even used to really like it all that much when I was young.
