Len Wien is writing it, Andy Kubert is doing the pencils, and Joe Kubert is inking it. It's kind of a DC version of Marvels, talking about how these great heroes of yesteryear affected the lives of average Joe on the streets.

Check out this website for a preview of some of the story.

Different art teams per issue, though. No Andy and Joe next month. :sigh:

I passed on it, but I will pick it up if enough IMWANkers recommend it.

It appears that issue 2 is still Andy and Joe, but issues 3 and 4 is J.L. Garcia Lopez and Dave Gibbons

Ah. Now I remember why I put this back on the shelf.
It was the first of ten issues at $3.99 apiece. Maybe if
it had been six issues, or even ten at $2.99.

I find it somewhat ironic that DC is doing a series highlighting their legacies just as they're eliminating all their minimizing all their legacy characters.

Between Ryan Choi and Wally West, it sure feels like it, anyway.

I was interested in this because I love the JSA.

But I prefer watching paint dry than reading Len Wein. Heck, I would've settled for Johns at least.

Len Wein wrote many of the comics that got me started reading comics regularly. Unlike all of you that started with comics at the age of 4, I waited until I was about 10 or 11 to really get going. By then Len had created Swamp Thing, and was writing Justice League of America. I liked JLA #109 so much, I had the story memorized word for word and panel for panel at one time. He also created the Human Target, a unique character in the DC Universe until someone got bored and created Nemesis, which made Christopher Chance not so unique anymore.

Later he created another group that some guy took off with and made a career out of also-- the new X-Men.

Len is a great writer and greater creator, even if he doesn't write the in-depth character studies that Alan Moore writes.

I am certainly giving Legacies a chance.

I've always liked Len Wein. His name on a book is a draw, not a negative, for me. I'll wait for reviews and a trade in any case though.

I love the talent involved and I believe these are 40 pages for $3.99 so that's a bit more reasonable.

There is no better run of JLA stories than Wein's early 70's stories. And the initial Swamp Thing run still holds up as amazing.
