I have to say that the whole hypertaxis and Alastar storyline has mostly disappointed. Dawnstar, Wildfire and Timber Wolf are three of my favorite Legionnaires, but this storyline didn't really do anyone any favors.
I guess the point was to have some of the Legion in DCU continuity -- for those who never liked Legion because it was in the future -- and not tied into current events. Then, maybe people who liked LL would check out LSH. But the stories in LL just aren't that great.
When Fabes is on, he's on. But I don't think that was the case here. Don't see journeyman Tom DeFalco doing any better, but maybe he'll surprise me.
Both Legion titles have been very disappointing -- as is Star Trek and Origins. There is so much Legion on the shelf -- and sadly, the material is not deserving.
