I can't believe I forgot this one. Yikes. I didn't give the series a full reading but it's not a memorable one. LL v2 feature a smaller set of Legionnaires with only 2 females, Chameleon Girl and Dawnstar. That could be a hindrance to it passing. Let's find out.
So to refresh your memory, this series starts out written by Fabian Nicienza for 6 issues. Tom Defalco has a co-writing credit for issues 6 and takes over solo after that. How did they do?
Niciena - 17%
Fabian only succeeds in the first issue. Yera is presumed dead as of issue 2 but resurfaces a few issues later. Her absence doesn't help.
Defalco -42%
Tom's contribution has a lot of crossovers with Titans. Because we see Ravage, Caitlin Fairchild and others, he starts off strong with 5 issues in a row. After that, not so much. The 0 issue is a Timber Wolf spotlight. Tom's run tried to do some stuff and it's hard to say whether the crossover's helped or hurt.
I don't have much else to say about this. There was a little too much infighting going on with the characters for me to enjoy this. Yera seemed to have some moments of development but she was depicted as having a failed relationship with Colossal Boy. That contradicted Gim's story in v7.
Again, we have a lack of female supporting characters that doesn't help interactions either. The interaction, when they happen, are overall positive, i.e. not discussing a man. I guess we can give the full series a dismal
