IMHO, when you combine a weak story with "later" Ditko art, it just isn't a very compelling book. And Mayavale himself was just a freaky dude to begin with... Craig C. - Time travel stories are told in chronillogical order.

The Legionnaires' involvement was pretty straightforward, and the discussion of reincarnation was a notch above the comic book norm, yet I can't imagine that the character design of the good doctor wasn't meant to evoke a giggle or two, as well as lines like the following: "And Doctor Mayavale laughs for a full hour..."
