So ... I hear there's some new character's or something in the latest issue .... I read on the solicitation that one is going to betray them or ... something ...

and one of them is going to be named dragon ... something or other ... I saw that on this message board I like to go to ...
I would've posted there but decided not to 'cause I just flip through the books at the comic book store to see images of Dream Girl.

Ultra Boy's hair was pretty.

And the girls had big honkers!

I can't believe how continuity was screwed up in this issue! DC has ruined the Legion forever!

I don't think that when the writer announces in advance that he's screwed up continuity, saying "I can't believe how continuity was screwed up" fits the spirit of the question, even if it's technically true that you haven't read the book yet.

Since some Legion fans give that review basically every issue, I figured the comments must apply to all issues I haven't read!

Feel free to apply it to, for example, a random Conway-era story of your choice!

The issue with the Murran spies was neat. I like how, in Silver Age stories especially, the heroes can occasionally be one step ahead of the villains (something that you'd think would happen from time to time, when you've got a precognitive and a super-genius on staff!).

Modern comic stories focus a lot of the villains doing something, and the heroes being reactive and caught totally off-guard and flat-footed, and fighting a big game of 'catch up' (or even disaster control, having *failed* to prevent the villains from blowing up a bunch of people), instead of the heroes being the ones who are handing out the surprises and the clever ploys.

For an issue I haven't read, the Murran story really has effected how I think of comics!

The time that romance ended was so sad... I thought they'd stay together forever.

Imra's hair in that issue was really cool.

Not like that other issue where it sucked.

People are definitely going to have mixed reactions to that issue.

Gosh! Another Legionnaire has disappeared mysteriously! I wonder why they haven't started looking for that Legionnaire?
