I think the issue where Myg made his first appearance (Baxter Legion #13, drawn by Steve Lightle) is a very good stand-alone story. Myg himself...well, if Lightle hadn't left so soon, Myg might have lived up to his potential.

13 and 14 by Lightle had enough brightness to carry the book for a long time.

Kid Psycho could have joined Nightwind, Lamprey, Power Boy, Comet Queen and Myg in a Night Girl run Subs, with Chuck and Lu involved too?

Thoth, LOL
Kid Psycho would have remained a footnote.
But there would have been no Death of Superboy, and no Conspiracy. THAT would have been wonderful!

Oh how easily you skip over the unfulfilled legacy of Kid Psycho, for some Kryptonian bloke.

I think Legion of 3 Worlds is awful. I'm glad Geoff Johns is leaving DC after he wraps up JSA. It's not just the gore, it's also the meanness and the paternalism. Yep, the art was great. The story was just a Superboy Prime feature with the Legion as cannon fodder.

Agree, 3 Worlds was a very unsatisfying story for me overall, as a Legion fan
It was mainly the Retroboot team getting their good moments, with a few from the Reboot team / the one small thing I did like were the moments highlighting the Reboot team’s camaraderie and collaborative spirit

A story around shoehorning in the return of two of the Titans, with a joke of a villain.

Its funny, after reading these comments about Lo3w, other discussions around the DnA era elsewhere and my own readings of the Hickman Marvel era, I've been slowly drifting over to reading more Marvel stuff more recently.
Older Marvel, to be sure, but still.

I was reading Byrne's West Coast Avengers after the start of the Busiek/Perez run.

One thing I do appreciate about Marvel, is the greater focus on unique heroes.
Lately when I read DC, it’s full of Bat-family, Super-family, 5 Green Lanterns…

My favorite era of Marvel is from 1987 to 1994.
