You can obviously make comments if you want, but the point of this thread is a simple, obviously unfair, YAY or NAY on the entire threeboot. Since someone will of course point out how such a thread is a little shallow, that's partially the reason for doing it laugh

I'll begin:

NAY

Nay.

Although I liked a lot of what was done the past 4 years or so. I've always preferred the Legion before Crisis to anything that's come along since.

Nay.

I will qualify that by saying I've enjoyed a lot of it and will always be glad that it brought me back into reading the Legion and, a few months after it started, sent me looking for a place online to discuss it and that led me to the coolest spot on the Web! cool

Waid/Kitson: NAY (started out promising, but way too slow and one-note. Kitson's nice enough but his designs are boring and static)

Bedard/Calero (maybe getting the artist's name wrong): qualified YAY (the story was largely moving some pieces into and out of place, but it showed a good grounding for the characters and setting and was a hell of a lot more interesting than what Waid's writing became. i wouldn't want to have seen the art for every story, but for me it fit this particular story)

Shooter/Manapul: YAY (yes, maybe his whole arc shouldn't have been one main story with generic alien monster invaders, and the Ikonns/Marvel satire thing pretty much sucked, but Shooter brought more story and characterization in one page than Waid brought to 6 very slow issues. Manapul was competent and showed promise, and brought a lively energy to his layouts)

Issue 50: NAY (while it's still not as bad as Legion on the Run, it was a terrible way to bring the series to a close and very unfair to the loyal readers)

I have to say I liked Kitson's art-he draws a gorgeous Supergirl, but overall...

NAY.

I do appreciate the threeboot for bringing me into the Legion in a big way and the Dreamgirl issue will always be one of my top fave Legion issues ever. But this version frustrated more than thrilled. I am glad, however, that I got it, it excited me initially, and I had the money and some good LCS's available to hunt down ton of the Levitz run (quarter bin, whoo-hoo!).

Nay for Waid's run.

Yay for Bedard and Shooter's run.

Waid spent too much time on revisionist Legion stories. Bedard and Shooter gave us new Legion (despite the Waid constrictions).
