But we shall see. The final issue of the miniseries — and the fiftieth issue of Shooter’s team — are both due around New Year’s, just as the Legion’s fiftieth year ends. <br><br>Who knows what’s next, maybe even a single hybridized team/timeline, a best-of, which wouldn’t be so bad.Todd Seaveyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08589187886030112999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-610803938756668468.post-63539232686082895652008-08-21T09:03:00.000-04:002008-08-21T09:03:00.000-04:00Bible reference.

There was some species on that kinda junky Gene Roddenberry’s Andromeda (also a show with a shockingly long run-time) called the Magog that were kind of apocolyptic in behavior (breeding to the trillions in much the way _Aliens_ do). I doubt there’s any real relation.cbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-610803938756668468.post-57477497423792982712008-08-20T12:44:00.000-04:002008-08-20T12:44:00.000-04:00Don’t you mean “Dawson’s Clark”?

Ha-ho!<br><br>The first few pages of _Legion of Three Worlds_, I can now attest, are a perfect blend of Silver Age nostalgia and twenty-first-century pseudo-cinematic intensity. Good stuff.<br><br>P.S. For those wondering, I should have noted that the comic series featuring Gog and Magog is the ongoing _Justice Society of America_ monthly, which will expand into three weekly _Justice Society/Kingdom Come_ one-shots for the month of November as that story near its conclusion.Todd Seaveyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08589187886030112999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-610803938756668468.post-6794435759484816362008-08-20T11:33:00.000-04:002008-08-20T11:33:00.000-04:00No, the truly amazing feat is simply that Dawson’s...No, the truly amazing feat is simply that Dawson’s Kryptonite Creek has remained on the air for eight years *at all*– longer than the combined runs of the 60s Batman, the 70s Wonder Woman or Hulk, or the 90s Lois & Clark or Flash– indeed matching the *combined* runs of Lois & Clark and Hulk, and exceeding the combined runs of any two others. Longer than Buffy. Longer than Deep Space 9. Longer than Babylon 5. Longer than Batman: The Animated Series and its other incarnations including Batman Beyond, combined. Feh.Jacob T.
