Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Giffen is doing LSH Annual!!!

Just mentioned at the Doom Patrol message board at DC Boards. And I quote:

Since I think the book fell horribly from #1 to #3, it's now a VERY happy moment for me. Hopefully, it will be plotted by Keith too.

Could it be that the old gang is getting back together?

Oh God. He's come back to cut Dawny's wings off again!

can he DRAW it too!!!!!!!


<fan boy SQUEEEEE!!!>

It looks like: Keith is doing Doom Patrol #16 entirely and has pencilled part of Booster Gold, and did an amazing Mad Hatter one-shot. Said doing artwork bit him again, so it sounds very much like he will be drawing this one. And co-plotting???

Instead of blowing the Earth... how about Earth Man?

or perhaps no 'Earth' Man on the cover.

The Subs! There was some mention in the Paul Levitz spotlight panel at Comicon about Keith possibly doing something on the Subs.

This news is love for this old Giff-fan.

HIs style has mutated a smidge more (as BOOSTER GOLD 34 shows) but I still enjoy it.

This is good news indeed and will hopefully lead to more collaborations in the future.

Artwise aside, I also feel his presence as a co-plotter can only benefit Levitz.

This is great news! I hope its a Levitz/Giffen collaberation, with Keith co-plotting and doing pencils & layouts.

Am I the only one not looking forward to this?

Probably not. There's a bunch of people who don't care for Giffen. I'm sure they will be showing up soon.

OH LORDY, please bring back my gal Drura done by Keith Giffen!!!!

For LSH only my take is:

Giffen WITH Levitz = Awesome

Giffen WITHOUT Levitz = Major Suckitude

JMHO

its great that there's even going to BE an LSH annual!

Yeah, that's true! When was the last one?

The Legends of the Dead Earth stuff, right?

I loved his art, back in the day, then he went all blocky face and jackets-to-hide-the-lack-of-bodies (which, granted, must have saved him hours, not having draw anything but jackets, legs and a bunch of identical heads), and I was not so impressed.

But, as Gorilla Nebula says, it's great just to have an annual, and I'd be thrilled if it was in the animated style, let alone in Giffen's blockheaded purse-lipped 'Lego Legion' style.

As long as he doesn't pointlessly ressurect and kill Val again.

The Annual would be the best time ever for a 6 page back-up that very clearly defines the Legion timeline but yet leaves tons of room for fan interpretation and online arguing!

I think the last thing Giffen did on Legion was that story with Bouncing Boy and Cub and I thought it was pretty awful.

I'm sure it did save him lots of time hiding everybody's faces in black shadow and repeating the same panels over and over on his 9 panel grid.

I loved the art, but thought the story was pretty dull and silly, as was most of the Reboot. He didn't write it though.

And I love blocky art Giffen. But that's because I like more artistic material and he was the pace supreme at that period. Most people seem to forget how incredible his storytelling capabiliities were, especially with such constrained board.

The only Giffen art style I haven't liked is 'abstract-squiggles Giffen', which he used on TRENCHER and also on a couple pages during TMK featuring the SW6 and McCauley.

LOVED 'blocky/covered eyes/big-lips-on-chicks Giffen! (Heckler/ TMK)'

In Booster Gold 34, his pages are not blocky and shadowy at all. They are light but more cartoony, kinda like the Ambush Bug minis with thinner inks.
