When Waid said "we planned to wrap up with issue 36", I took it to mean as "we planned to end the Dominator war storyline with issue 36". <BR/><BR/>I love the new Brave and Bold book too. "Fun" is a word I'd use as well, but in a good way.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15001530336692435773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18787738.post-55895474295353234712007-05-14T08:15:00.000-05:002007-05-14T08:15:00.000-05:00So basically they compressed a storyline that had ...<I>So basically they compressed a storyline that had 9 issues to go (28-36) into 3 (28-30).</I><BR/><BR/>Not necessarily.

When did <I>that</I> happen, I wonder? <BR/><BR/>I like fun, myself, but then again I'm in my late 30s. But that's not really about the Legion, so I won't elaboate.
