	I'll go a step farther, I was disappointed by the ending. I realize
that there is a graphic novel coming out, but I really did want to see all
the loose ends tied up. Orion's death (?) served no purpose. Does this mean
evil wins? Or is Orion destined to come back? (I would be very disappointed
at such a cheap trick.) Kirby really should have wrapped it all up, since
I don't think anyone is planning a comeback for the series. I do realize
there are some continuity problems with Legion of Super-Heroes, but who
cares? I would have loved a final confrontation between father and son that
meant something.
