Oh, there were talented creators involved, but only on the artistic side. The main writers were Mark Waid, Geoff Johns, and Mark Millar. I think even fans of theirs would admit it's not their best work. So why am I even broaching the subject, you ask? Because this is Legion World, where people always come up with ideas a million times better than what actually saw print! Here's a link to the event's page at the DCU Wiki: https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Silver_Age_Vol_1 Now, how would you do it better? Still "Fickles" to my friends.

I have Silver Age notes linked to the Golden Age series. New Frontier could have been titled The Silver Age. "...not having to believe in a thing to be interested in it and not having to explain a thing to appreciate the wonder of it."

Originally Posted by thoth lad Hopefully the book was more fun. It did have a handful of fun moments scattered through, but they were few and far between. Also some very nice art (especially the covers.) Originally Posted by thoth lad I have Silver Age notes linked to the Golden Age series. Do you mean a continuation of that miniseries by James Robinson and Paul Smith? I would be interested if you shared those notes in this thread or in the Bits forum. Originally Posted by thoth lad New Frontier could have been titled The Silver Age. Yeah, but they were only released about 4 years apart. DC didn't want it mistaken for one of their least popular events. Last edited by Ann Hebistand; 1 hour ago. Still "Fickles" to my friends.

I was never taken with the big island threat in New Frontier, in exactly the same way the island in New X-Men faced was underwhelming.

Fair enough. I like New Frontier more for the character arcs and the Easter Eggs than for the plot itself. Still "Fickles" to my friends.
