X-Men Legacy. Thoughts?

Why do you, or don't you like this book?

Based on what I'm reading, in the forums and in review across several websites, this books seems pretty polarizing. I've seen very low reviews (on CBR especially) and really high reviews, and it makes me wonder why this seems like such a love-it or hate-it book.

Full Disclosure, I'm still on the fence with it. I was really excited ever since it was announced, hoping it would become my favorite X-Book, because I think Legion is a fun character. But so far, I've found myself not fully on board with it, but I'm still willing to give it a shot, and let it get going before I make a final judgment.

I think the reason for the low reviews is reviewer idiocy

Its top 5 of NOW for sure. Not sure what the negative reviews are about.

Legacy is a great series. It's even better when you juxtapose it with what the rest of the X-Men are obsessing over.

I was never a Legion fan. Felt he was a plot device and an overpowered Gary Stu character. It is to Spuriers credit that I love his vision of Legion. He actually feels like a real character for the first time IMO. I have read some of the poor CBR reviews and they were very biased IMO. The reviewer said up front he did not like the character and his review was essentially colored by that fact.

In any event, outside of the Gambit oriented books, XML is the only other X-book I am committed to buying.

Just read the issue that came out today it was great. This book is so fresh and what the x world needs I can't get enough of it

Speaking of the issue today, did those twins appear to be child versions of Coldmoon and Dragonfire from the Marvel Point One #1 a ways back? They seemed to even have the same hair, but very different powers from what I recall. From what I understood they were only in there to promote the Marvel MMO coming out, but this seems to be a different version of them?
