Here would be appropriate. And please go ahead and post away, Stealth.

L.E.G.I.O.N. now has armadas of starships and robot armies, and Vril's changed his look and attitude and is back in control. No sign of the Core Team other than an inexplicably aged Comet.
I'm not sure that the L.E.G.I.O.N. history was ret-conned away. In the Adam Strange Mini an Omega man asks Vril when and why he decided to switch to robot stormtroopers. No Policeman's Labour Union... of Space to deal with I guess.
Robots are dull compared to the other version, but I can see why it was done for RT War a series where everyone's complaining that they just keep introducing new characters that new readers have no clue about.

Silicon Dream I agree. Just to make things less confusing they should have just changed the name to something else.
Now Vril Dox with an army of robots does sound interesting and I am glad they showed up. But rather have a different name.

I had the whole run but lost it with my LSH/Adventure etc. stolen lots of years ago now!
I'm so glad the new year brings a new L.E.G.I.O.N. series. I loved those books, both for their own stories and for their connection to and enrichment of the LSHs.
Just having the Mallor's was a huge boon to me. By the way, Lyrissa was killed by her forceably aged, power added baby daughter, Lydea.
[After reading Stealth's wonderful thread that recaps dotLEGION issues, I want to add that the aging WAS done by the Coluan tyrants as Pulsar Stargrave.]
There were actually a couple of story arcs involving Talok VIII that I loved. One interesting thing we learned about Talokians is that they can't be cloned!
Lar Gand was part of the team for awhile, too (he's in one of the pictures on the first page of this thread.)
I disliked R.E.B.E.L.S. a little, but bought it anyway.
I suspect that Phase is still gone from dotLegion. Since she was joined with Tinya in Archies, it would just be too confusing to try to bring her back. Although, there's no telling what will happen now with the current LHS being . . . whatever it's going to be, and dotLEGION starting up again. I know that I loved having Tinya in dotLEGION, even if she didn't know who she was.
Captain Comet was such a sweetie. And, well, I liked Lobo in this series. I even was lead to by some of his own books!

Currently rereading the old series from the beginning - it's really a fun read, nice characters, story developing smoothly. Did not make it farther than #18 the first time, meahwhile I managed to track down nearly the whole series - I'm excited to see how it will continue...
