I can support EDE on his statement that the Legion should be on its own plane somehow. Though their taking part in the original Crisis and Legends was great, since then most crossovers just tended to be storytechnically challenged and provided tons of continuity problems. Millenium, Final Night, you name it.
The worst ever effort was the year long (or even longer???) stay of half of the team in the Reboot. That sucked hard, and like EDE I quit back then. I guess that was the moment the slow death of the Reboot started, which only the excitement of DnAs stories could postpone for some time.
But as for reintroducing the "classic but not all original" Legion into the DCU, there's probably no better way than to give th readers some hints here and there, probing the field, making the fans want more - and the "not yet fans" interested in those rather iconic looking characters.
I believe that a new Legion book with these characters would sell better now that they have been already reintroduced than it would if it came out iof the blue. The fans' attendance is already much higher, the hype bigger. So I guess DC did right thus far on that matter, but I do sincerely believe that should they get their own book, the old/new Legionnaires should return to their secluded 30th century.

Just read the new issue of Action. It's a good one. The one thing I'm wondering about, though, is Tusker. What's the lowdown on Tusker? What did he do in his previous appearances? I have a reason for asking, which I will not be the first one to mention in this thread.

The only Tusker I recall off the top of my head was in Reboot, I believe, during Team 30's membership drive... or am I misremembering? I haven't read those issues in several years now.

quote: Tusker tried out for the Legion of Super-Heroes, unaware that the team had been taken over by the villain Dynamo Boy, who rejected Tusker and mocked him. Tusker swore vengeance on the Legion, and joined up with Eyeful Ethel, another Legion reject, and together they were determined to become suervillains. Tusker and Ethel couldn't find any villains who wanted to associate with them.
Tusker and Ethel met Ron-Karr of the Legion of Super-Villains, who, tired of the annoying duo, told them they could join if they destroyed Bismoll's computer network. Tusker and Ethel succeeded, but still didn't get their membership cards.
Tusker gave up his aspirations of evil and took a job at an insta-food emporium.

Man I really hated seeing one of my favorite members in the Justice Leagues "trophy case". I was really hoping to see the big guy play a bigger part in this story. Another really great issue. Seeing the founders in action together is always great, and I think Johns really nailed all three really well. His Lightning Lad I thought was really spot on as far as his personality goes.

Sigh. Animal Lad-- did he get a raw deal, or what?
Hmmm. If Tusker and Golden Boy are getting used, I wonder if A.L. might merit an appearance in the ACTION storyline?

Very nice, Nightcrawler. Maybe you could also add Click Here For A Spoiler The teacher. Her last name is Niwtyn. She's probably Eye-ful Ethel
