I have to disagree.

The Legion relaunch has been in the work for a long time.

I think what DC is trying to do is loosen the connection to the present DCU and let it stand on its own.

Out of curiosity, I decided to check what are the comics book series with the most number of installments and have lasted the longest so far. Kept it at runs that started within the last 10 years, at a minimum of 30 installments per series, and it seems that G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, Crossed Badlands, and Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? have stacked up the most installments:

The only move I can think of is to make Nick Fury into the Samuel Jackson version. I never had any use for the original Fury, and I thought he was overrated.

I've seen some if not all of The Stranger, it's as if they all wanted to prove they could do something right. A bit low budget but it's not like 1984-86 Doctor Who wasn't. There were a bunch of these sorts of productions in between the old Who and new revival, one had Sontarans and Blake's 7 actors and another finished the Yeti stores from the '60s.

Yeah, by the late 70s, things had changed for the better - mid 70s, not so much. In the early 60s, Marvel comics were available - I remember seeing (what I later deduced was) the first or second Iron Man story in ToS in the local newsagent/barber shop, amongst others (but only being a toddler at the time I didn't pay that much attention - I was more interested in TV21), but by the late 60s/early 70s they had totally dried up. I don't know whether the dearth led to Marvel UK or whether the distribution was deliberately constrained by the licensing agreement with UK, but the avaailability was really limited, whereas pretty much every DC comics was available (even minor-interest stuff like Prez and Plop!), albeit not necessarily in issue-number order. By the around 77 or 78, Marvel US issues were available in large quantities, though in pretty random distribution - you'd have shops that had obviously bought a packed spinner full of comics at the start of the summer and then never got another issue in, and others which had fairly regular stocks - didn't seem to bear any relation to town size, but same effect throughout the random parts of Norfolk, Leicestershire and Berkshire that I was familiar with
