It's such a cliche. And as you correctly observe, it's especially bad when one of the powers involved is teleportation.

For some reason, I've been feeling really tempted to post this as my facebook status! Maybe on whatever day it is in December 2012 that the world is supposed to end...

Gates teleported him back to the 21st century, the rest were just the batteries and containment field!  Marvel does those kind of scenes all of the time, and have for ages. DC? Not so much. Jeckie took her mask off in Superman: the Last Stand of New Krypton, permanently, I think. Hurray! But that's another thread, I guess.
A singin' and a dancin'

I agree with you Candle. I think Jeckie looks better now without that silly mask, and the white of her hideous costume looks a bit better with her white hair (sort of toned down and blended in if you will).
The story was average at best, but it's only one installment of the larger story anyway.
It was a bit odd how the Legionnaires in the past reacted so ho-hum at seeing Brainiac 5 appear, I think 1 or 2 of them had on a faint smile. They haven't seen each other in a long time (I don't think they know RJ was assasinated do they?) so I was expecting the reunion to be a bit more emotional somehow. Oh well, no time to get all mushy when the fate of the universe both past and present hangs in the balance I guess.
Ho-hum.

Jeckie looks way better now without the mask. Absolutely. This is like the Jeckie of my childhood, Miss Royal Sexiness As for the "end of everything" bit: Yes, it made me yawn as well. So "been there, done that". I don't want to know how many rifts in time I have read about in the last 20 years. Just encountered one during my reboot reread (the silly Darkseid story). My personal opinion on this is that less is more: You don't have to have the whole of Earth or the universe on the brink of annihilation to tell a good story. I really hope that Mister Paul Levitz will downtone the stories a little in his new LSH ongoing - you can only save the universe so often without getting boring...

Well said, CK. Remember how great the story about rescuing Vi from the Imskian separatists was? Simple, personal, engaging, Mr. Levitz can write a story without the undead rising throughout the known universe.

Chemical King for president! My thoughts exactly. I'm so sick of every comic book out there having to have ever-escallating levels of crisis.
Doesn't anybody ever just knock off a bank anymore? Or how about a nice simple mysterious disappearance?
