I was among those most willing to give the Threeboot a chance... I loved the first 3 issues, and I still like the book, but...
It doesn't thrill me. I'm not as excited to read each issue, as I was under DnA... even the late DnA issues still filled me with anticipation, even though I recognized the stories weren't as good anymore.
I can't attrribute my new ennui with the Gail Simone bore-parter, either... WaK started with a reasonably strong momentum, but lost it. Even tho #5 nicely recovered #4's fumble and the intro of Lemnos revived the story, I just can't get into it as much.
I look forward to reading back issues more than I do the current stories, and that's a damn shame.

I think this is among the list of inappropriate topic titles.
Seriously, Sean, if you're still at least reading the book then Reboot isn't right. I think after we get through the latest fill in artists and they get the coloring under control , you may just eat these words.

Think about it - Pov's words are coming off your fingertips. Can you really call that a good thing?
Pov has been a bad influence on me

Kent Shakespeare! You're usually the one person I can always agree with. However, I now feel that I've entered an alternate reality. Most unsettling.

Sorry but this is one thing on which 'boot is NOT right. The only thing, besides the awful coloring, that I see wrong with WaK is that DC is obviously not going to be collecting the new LSH into a TPB anymore than they did past incarnations. Unless they plan for a larger than normal trade.
I'm fully enjoying this new version and have just learned to let go of all that has come before. DnA would have killed the title off before the team reached their 50th anniversary. Now the LSH has fresh blood and a chance at being one of DCs biggest sellers as the team enters the second half of their century.

I'll admit the series has drug a little bit more than it should, but I think anyone who doesn't dig it more than the previous incarnation has forgotten just how bad the previous incarnation was.
Just a reminder:
Terrorform Zoe! Attack of the 50' Vi! Vi's Green Streak! Cub! Timber Wolverine! Alien Horde of the Week!
And that's just for starters.

Blame the slow story on the impending Crisis. The Legion's time is already affected by whatever is going to happen so they have to tread slow until it can be revealed.

And I'd certainly rather have a slow story than a series of sudden "plot twists" that seem to happen for no apparent reason. Need I mention... Cos's relationship with Jazmin?
