His early Legion work is crisp and distinctive, but the mind numbing sameness of those panels, the boring costumes and the seeming disdain of the Legion made the book unreadableJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09814983911260950103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19575570.post-46208539349173023282010-09-22T14:19:38.399-04:002010-09-22T14:19:38.399-04:00Let me be honest, there were a few things I liked ...Let me be honest, there were a few things I liked about the Giffbaum years, most of them starting with "K" -- Kent Shakespeare and Kono spring to mind. King Jonn was okay.

I absolutely loved Giffen's art during the early Levitz years, thru the Great Darkness Saga, for example.<br /><br />But he drove the Legion into the ground after Levitz' departure. It was absolutely awful and I don't buy or even look at anything with Giffen's name on it. It's awful.<br /><br />At least Giffen won't be on the monthly book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
