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. -- eric ...!seismo!umcp-cs!aplvax!milo!eric
