No I didn't. It's weird because there was some flashing text saying I had a PM at the top of the screen but when I clicked on it and checked my PMs there was nothing there. Resend it and maybe it'll go through now.

I show nothing. I think something has been going on with the board lately. Hopefully it'll show up later. I'll definitely respond when I get it.

Getting back on theme.... the most irritating thing in Action 864 was Batman not recognising the corpse of KK after interrogating him during the Lightning Saga. Gimme a break.
Looking forward, does anyone know if L3W being published weekly or monthly?

The issue was pretty much irritating to me because I couldn't get over how ridiculous Garth's hair looked. Gary Frank's designs were barely passable with him doing them and I'm afraid they're not looking good when anyone else does them (even Perez). It's starting to bug me that these designs are the "original" Legion.

This issue bugged me because Garth acted like he was some loser who never grew out of High School. The entire "I don't like cops, especailly human cops" bit irked me to no end. Since when has Garth not liked any group of people, and since when was HE xenophobic? I mean, this is the guy who lost his arm to the Moby Dick of space and still didn't lose it (it turns out he was acting all obsessed because he made a promise, awwww) and the guy who quit being a hero because he wanted to raise his kids.
Garth's a lot more level headed and mature than this issue made him out to be. also, what was with unbelievable jerk Batman, I thought he was supposed to go away with Infinate Crisis.
Furthermore,I wish Superman had reacted more to seeing 'Una's" and KK's corpse. He didn't seem to care at all that his two old friends are dead.
Also, since when is "dead is dead" considering how the guy saying it a) was resurrected himself, b) was saying it to a resurrected guy and c) was talking about a person who came back (although we don't know how or why) once before. I hope that was an allusion to the fact that the Legion will try to save Val (and Una?) but I really don't think so.
Oh, and the butterfly effect that Batman was whining about, BOGUS, I'm sorry, but if you are going to reintroduce time travel with the Leigon and especially Superman to the Legion mythos you kind of need to chuck out the entire "time is fragile and time travel can have dire consequences" bit, it simply doesn't work (I mean, the Legion probably wiped out civilization a thousand times over judging by their earlier adventures). Also, there's this big bit in Booster Gold about not being able to change history, events will happen regardless, yet Batman is worrying about a butterfly, and apparently Brainy agrees (rolls eyes).
Now, the bits with the Time Trapper was AWESOME and I thought set up Legion of 3 Worlds really well, but all the other bits in between really rubbed me the wrong way and made me nervous about Legion of 3 Worlds for the first time. I just don't think Geoff brought his A game to this at all.
that and the art was really bad (and a tatoo, a freakin' tatoo, ugh, how unoriginal)
-------------------- Long Live the Legion!

Most of those comments register with me though I didn't react quite as strongly with the exception of Superman's reaction. I know he's been through a lot but the whole point of being Superman is he retains his "humanity." He doesn't go cold. These deaths should have affected him personally IMO.

Been offline for a few weeks and missed the fact that the first Action issue after the Legion run ALSO has Legion material in it... how vicious...
So do I have to stay with Action Comics, or was this just a self-contained oneshot I have to hunt down at the next comic convention?

Johns and Frank give us a nice little follow up to their recent Legion storyline in the Superman: New Krypton Special. Clark is in the barn after his father's funeral alone with his memories. He opens a trunk and pulls out a baseball cap that says "Happy Father's Day" in interlac. In a flashback scene Jonathan says, "A baseball cap from the future. I bet I'm the only one in the conty with one of these."
