Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Legion-related December 2010 Solicitations and Images ... SPOILERS

No, it's Cosmic Boy. Look carefully, you can see circles on his chest.

Hm, Blok is in the non-cover of LSH # 8. I'm glad he's back. I wonder if the <strike>White</strike> Black Witch came back with him. I hope so, I really like Mysa.

The new Emerald Empress.. could that be Harmonia Li???

That Emerald Empress cover is amazing!!

I think the head is supposed to be angled upwards. She's sticking her nose up in the air in typical royal snootiness.

I wonder if the rest of the LSH stories appearing in ADVENTURE will be 'current day'? Or will there be more set in the team's past?

We still don't know exactly when they'll lose the lead feature. I guess it's possible that they'll become the back-up.

The Giffen cover is beautiful. Emerald Empress vs. Lightning Lass and Shrinking Violet... I sure hope Sensor Girl appears as well.

Looks like Levitz is sticking to his 'everything in my previous run happened' stance.

I can't decide if I think that's admirably stubborn or selfishly defiant.

Another bit of news that's not in an official solicit yet-- apparenlty LEGION LOST will be collected next May. I'm not sure if it's hardback or trade paperback yet.

About the Durlans in THE MIGHTY CRUSADERS-- they've been the background antagonists since #1, though I believe (wouldn't swear to it) that this is the first time they've been called 'Durlans'.

Great news!!

Jeepers! Why would they be collecting that now?

Unless there's plans to do something with that version of the Legion...

Squeeeeeal!!!

Man this going to be the best Xmas (LSH-wise) in years!

I know there's been some negative reviews, but in my opinion, everything we've gotten so far since LSH #1 has been well worth the wait.

Oh, and by the way...who's to say that's not Sarya, or that having it be Sarya would be a retcon?

So, she crumbled to dust...doesn't mean she's dead...could have had her spirit live on in the eye, blah blah blah or maybe she comes back with the powers of Sandman (snark)

And "all-new" is a ubiquitously and over-applied adjective that could just mean the obvious fact that she's got a new costume and a kinky whip.

That is the best Legion cover I have seen in YEARS. Even if I had never heard of the Legion I would be inclined to pick up that annual just because the Emerald Empress looks so friggin AMAZING!

Brilliant brilliant job on her look!! She looks really regal and powerful, and it's a great use of Kirby influence! Can't wait for this annual!

(on another note, I am SQUEEEing about Vi and Ayla together in a story again too, and even just to see Vi at all - she's been kind of invisible in the run so far)

Aren't the writers and artist on that run very popular now? Maybe DC's just trying to cash in.

TBH, I'd be leery of spending money on Great Darkness again, good as it is. This is something I'd go out of my way to get hold of because I've never actually read the whole story before.

Yes, I see them.
I originally thought they were the wolf's eyes.
blehhh

YES!!!

heh just testing.....love that dancing!!!

You can have up to 8 in a posting!

He is definitely better than Kevin Sharpe.

Why Legion Lost if it's not even more revered than 5YL? Boooo.

Paul Levitz has stated in at least two interviews that he has no plans for any of the alternate Legions.

I suspect that the decision to publish now is a reflection that the collected editions editor 'gets' the Legion no more than Dan DiDio and doesn't understand the confusion this collection will cause with new Legion readers. A little bit worrying when the Collected Editions Editor Bob Harras is the new Editor-in-Chief at DC.

^ Why do all Legion Trade releases have to be subject to the whims of whether a new reader will 'get' it or not? And does that mean that in your opinion DC can never release a Legion Trade again since all previous continuities are a little but different to the current one?

Maybe DC just wanted to put a great story in the hands of as many new and old readers as possible.

And if one of those new readers decides they like the Trade enough to pick up the current book... well, it's not rocket science. There were two or three versions of the Legion running around when I got into the team during the SW6 era/beginning of the Reboot and I understood my way around pretty well.

I for one am happy to see the collection of Legion Lost put together in a TP. For years I have been collecting all of the TPs which focused on the Legion because I'm a completist and the LSH (all versions) is my hobby.
Plus I especially enjoyed the Legion Lost series, what with Shikari's intro and also the loss of three Legionnaires ... one of the best mini-series ever, in my opinion.

Surely though now is the time to release more trades about the original Legion, especially the Levitz years and get readers interested in the current incarnation not a group that has been written out.

That's true S-A Lad ... what you say IS important as Paul is back writing the book again.
I also happen to think though that ANY version of the Legion told in a TP format (issues run in sequence) will only benefit the Legion popularity in general as it stimulates interest in the readership for 31st century heroes.
I think it's safe to say that each version of the Legion has stayed essentially the same, what with the founders and Brainy "unchanged" for the most part, most members staying the same, and Superboy/girl appearing later, etc. To a new reader the differences might seem superficial anyway.
And a great story is still a great story regardless!

I don't know whether this is related to this topic, but Geraldo Borges is indeed the new artist on Adventure Comics (it's not a fill-in) and has done a new cover for a Brazilian comic book magazine in here:

He's also providing some sketches and his Shadow Lass is simply gorgeous:


This is his fotolog page.

His work looks okay, to me.
Shady's lips are too thin, imo, though.

I love that there's going to be a TP for LOST.
It doesn't matter that Paul's not going to write about them as the New Wanderers.
Someone else can.
Or no follow-up is okay, too.
Sort of.

And I'd enjoy a 5YRL TP, as well.

And the total Baxter series.
Especially since I don't have them anymore.

I'd also love the Legionnaires in a TP.

I have all of the stories/series mentioned but I'd still like to see the collections.

I'd enjoy a collection of all of the stories that the Legion has appeared in that weren't their titled issues, too.
I love and used to have the Superman issue where Supes asks President Kennedy to fill in for him.
That's one example where the Legion appeared briefly.
There are others where they were front and center.

The only Legion TP's that I don't have and don't want, I have the originals, is the last Prime issues by Shooter.
Sorry.
