I really want to hear the responses when someone asks "WTF happened to Legion #50?" and "Is Legion of Three Worlds a quarterly now?"

I really want to hear the responses when someone asks "WTF happened to Legion #50?" and "Is Legion of Three Worlds a quarterly now?" if they weren't asked the previous night. Hell, even if they were asked.

What a flustercluck. I liked the early issues of threeboot Legion and am sorry to hear the series ended in such a botched manner. It sounds even worse than what Marvel did in the 70s to Omega the Unknown or later on with Englehart's FF.
Those seem like apt comparisons, Keeper. Perhaps moreso the latter than the former, since Englehart was stymied by the publisher's conflicting ideas for a venerable franchise, whereas Gerber had his personal creation smothered by indifference.
The question I'd like to hear asked at a DC panel would be "Is it now DC policy to charge readers three or four dollars for an issue for which the writer was too embarassed or ashamed of the work to put his real name on it?"
Readers may debate the merits of the work (or lack of same) but that pseudonym shows what the person (or persons) responsible thought of it.
