Hulk 254 - I never knew the U-Foes origin! copying the FF, right on down to the brother-sister combo on the team!

Ha, yeah man, and that is crazy... on a subconscious level. I remember the issue, them being villains that I enjoyed, and I knew they were similar to the FF, but I didn't remember the incredible amount of FF nods that this team represented. Like I said, I didn't even think about them until I read that issue of Legion and I suppose the polar opposite approach of that story, the similarity hidden in the dichotomy, pushed a memory of this issue. And yes Jejj, they show up a good number of times later (in better written stories)

******************************

Legion - It's fine. Still I find I rush through this, wanting to get to the other, sister series, so perhaps not the best way to approach issues. 


Hellblazer - Constantine, drugged by Papa Midnight, has massive hallucinations (hands turning to bones, dollars falling from the sky, having his throat slit open by someone trying to eat him and wear his skin) and ends up talking to JFK, whose head is, of course, blown halfway apart. Yeah, I've been there

GREEN LANTERN #25 (STARBREAKER SUPREMACY) - I didn't really like this issue.  I hope this doesn't hold true for the entire crossover.  I think I'm just over all this spectrum stuff. Bummer.

MR TERRIFIC YEAR ONE #3 (OF 6) - I'm out.  Just not enjoying this as much as I had hoped.

JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED #9 - We Are Yesterday is officially over. I'm ready to go back to a normal DC universe.  All this constant cosmic crisis stuff has gotten old for me.
