I see people can't make up their minds about whether to call this version of the Legion WaK or Threeboot? Let's settle it once and for all.

My own opinion is that Threeboot is preferable because Waid and Kitson won't always be on the book.

Yeah. WaK is the current creative team, Threeboot is the era. I don't see that there's any controversy.

It's like asking whether one should refer to the "preboot" or "Levitz" Legion.

I think I would only use WaK in retrospect. I didn't call Levitz's run the "Levitz Era" until after it was over.

I pick WaK because this is, to me, the 'FourthBoot'. Everything up to MAGIC WARS was boot one, the 5YL stores were boot two (did *you* read any stories featuring Laurel Gand or Kid Quantum in the ARCHIVES? If so, hang onto 'em cause you've got a gold mine), the group now floating in white space was boot three... making the current title boot four.

I know what you're saying, ML, but I still don't consider 5YL to be a full reboot. It was a softboot. The characters that existed before and after the Mordruverse were essentially the same. Can you say that about the reboot or the current version?

Except that I prefer "WaKi" to "Wak." I mean, why should Waid get the second letter of his name used and not Kitson. Also, something that is "wack" has a more pjoritive connotation than the delightfullu goofiness of "wackey."

WaK = Waid and Kitson, not Waid-Kitson.
