    ADVENT!

    How fondly I remember gathering around the one CRT at the school lab with the other geeks, arguing which direction to go, what to throw, and when to say XYZZY.

    I was partial to "Suspended". Sometimes, it was fun to ask Poet random stuff just to see what the hell he'd say....

    And for those of us with longer memories, who got our start on Unix systems, there was Moria. I still have a copy for PC somewhere (on a floppy!), that I played up until about '93.

    Wasn't this a Superfriends episode?

    The Legion of Doom deduce that the best way to defeat the SuperFriends is to make sure the 3 most powerful members never come into being.

    They travel back in time, Cheetara wins the amazonian contest (by cheating) and wins the mantle of Wonder Woman instead of Diana.

    Lex Luther tricks Hal Jordan into not getting the GL ring from Abin Sur.

    And they divert Ka-el's space ark to a planet with a red sun instead of earth.

    Is there a universe where Wonder Woman's costume is invisible?

    I'll say, just as an addendum to my post, that I read the story in a few big bursts instead of weekly, which probably helped with some of the pacing issues. Also, since it's telling essentially one big story over 52 issues in a way the previous weekly series weren't, it probably does take several issues before it really gets going.


    Both of which are good arguments to read this in trades, I guess. Anyway, just thought I'd point that out, considering I had a much more favorable view of the series than most here.

    I may try this out if it ever comes out in trade..


    As is, it lost me after two issues. Boring as hell.

    @KSChris: First trade (of three) came out this Wednesday. Reads much better collected, I think.
