With all due respect, Blacula, that is the silliest thing which I have ever heard. The Legion will never be retired permanently. It will always be trotted out with a new coat of paint every time that it fails. It didn't go away forever after Mort Weisinger retired, it didn't go away forever after the five year gap, and it didn't go away forever after it was cancelled due to low sales before Legion Lost and Legion Worlds. It might go away for a while, but it'll always be back. Those aren't positions for life at DC; new faces mean new policies. Plus, you have to take everything which Mark Waid says with a grain of salt; he's been known to exagerate.

The same Timber Wolf that _predate_ Wolverine is a clone of him? How is that possible?
I know Brin predates Wolverine. I just think since the characters are somewhat related many people see Brin as a Wolvie knock-off instead of vice versa. Even then their personalities are very different IMO.

I also really liked the "no villain of the month" thing...no Universo or Darkseid. In DnA's defense I think THAT Legion needed that...atleast for me. I never liked the postboot until DnA took over especially the latest series.
I wouldn't mind NOT seeing Mordu or the Time Trapper personally either.
Much like Star Trek rather focus on the challenge being a problem that needs to be solved, etc.

Huzzah for Barry!

I love that it appears that Nura will be super smart again in this new legion. I loved the DnA Nura but the fact that she was super sexy and smart was what made her such a great character.
