I really loved the "adult" Legion, and reverting the series to kids seemed a step back. I am looking forward to Legion of Three Worlds, tho. *lol* I followed V2 Legion through the “death” of the time trapper and the reboot that followed up till shortly after Zero hour.

The first issue I picked up was the same as you, where the Earth blew up. I loved the anything can happen, real ADULT character that were found in that run when I went back to pick it up. The early reboot issues were pretty fun too, but it began to drag about midway through the stuck in the 20th century story and never regained momentum and lost me during DnA's Warhammer approach. Waid's first 6 issues in the newest run were great, I thought I'd gotten hooked again, but it lost steam quickly after that. I looked at the recent version in Superman, and it was vaguely familiar, but not quite there. Of course art that made it look like their skin didn't fit on the characters bones didn't help. I think because all the starts and stops it just made it hard to care about the characters. It became a series about the series with ether nostalgia or which Legion universe was real driving the stories and I lost interest. Which is kind of sad in a small way. As I found the Legion at a time where comics were losing their luster for me. It was the VALOR series that made me aware of the Legion.
