Adam - a reboot by any other name... :-) I get this might not be the proper Legion, But even getting past Bendis' hit and (mostly) miss handling of established characters, this is still a book that, when handled properly, juggles dozens of major characters, villains, sites, etc. and stories ranging from small character pieces to universe shattering chaos. Virtually none of that is his forte (even when I considered myself a fan (back in his pre-Marvel days) I felt that way).

IS Snyder doing a full-up JSA project? From the solicits, they're making an appearance in an upcoming Justice League issue but has something more substantial being announced?

Dave -- I don't know yet regarding the JSA. Snyder's only full-time book for DC right now is JUSTICE LEAGUE. He could be taking on another title.

As for Bendis...I've come to the conclusion that more often than not he's not just a bad writer but an incompetent one. His SUPERMAN run has been a total disaster (his ACTION COMICS run somewhat less so), so I'm waiting for the day when another writer takes over SUPERMAN to fix the mess he's made.

Shane - I didn't pick up my books until today. League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen Volume 4 The Tempest #6 wasn't amongst them. According to Previews it's been pushed back to July 17.

Thanks, Rod. I was making sure my shop didn't miss my copy as I'm the only one there who has it on their pull list. I think it's been pushed back a couple of times already as it was originally supposed to come out in April I think.
