That "some guy" reaction Caleb had looking at the final page of the main book was pretty much what you got out of several of the crossovers- "I picked up this book for the first time, and it's all about some guy with a mustache betraying the lead character, which would have lots of emotional resonance if I were an ongoing reader, but..."Jacob T.

It was the first time we really got to see the post-Crisis DCU up and running-- Legends had to introduce Wonder Woman, the new Suicide Squad and JL, etc, etc. The Ostranderverse crossovers where they hunted down the Manhunter fort in the swamp were very good, Suicide Squad the best among them. I liked seeing the post-Crisis Superman starting to interact with the Hawks and the Lanterns in a sustained way for the first time in the crossovers where they searched for the Manhunters' homeworld. The Spectre issue was one of my favorites of the whole Moench series. And the Legion crossover worked surprisingly well (alas, poor Laurel.)<BR/><BR/>It was just that the main plot was ridiculous, and most of the Manhunter reveals were dull, and the New Guardians were everything you say and worse so the whole thing felt shockingly pointless. But we didn't know that the New Guardians would be what they were until the final issue. In the meantime, it really did make for exciting weekly trips to the comics shop.Jacob T.
