Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Bits o' Legionnaire Business "Death of a Legionnaire" -- LSH fan comic (DrakeB3004)

yay! nice to see more, Drake!!

The Homeland is an amazing concept. Also, not surprised to see that parts of the Middle East could become uninhabitable in a few hundred years. Climate change!

nice callback to Yera's impersonation of Vi... also interesting to see that Gim (though still a Legionnaire, right?) and Yera have their home in Homeland.

I like Vi's dialogue there. Nice explanation of her re why she feels so... bad. Now, is Yera being infected by the anger too?

oh, can Yera copy powers too? (you know, that whole copy form not function thing). Lightning beast?

nice Starro cameo!

yow! Vi hiding inside Yera, yikes!

oooph, just like Brin to forget that Yera was on that Khund mission, not Vi. and just like Cham to notice.


Drake, this is an amazing scene, and an amazing way to deal with the lingering consequences of Yera's impersonation of Vi. Vi, Yera and Ayla all come off well!



Ayla and Vi's love, and Yera's final apology, and Vi's heartbreaking confession. Wow, just wow! take a bow, this is awesome!

It's always a good day when we get more of your story Drake! And it was sooo good! I am super impressed - you should be proud of your work here. I've always thought that the Vi/Yera interaction should be a lot more raw than it ended up being portrayed. This was much better.

Vi & Ayla are so core to the team, and its great to see Ayla pull Vi back from the brink - twice.

Oh - also, kudos for the Wikipedia Galactica.

Your artwork is amazing. I love the designs of these characters. The little purple triangle on Violet's costume is just the perfect addition.
And the way you write dialog-- Vi's diatribe against Yera just burns the screen with emotion. And the way Ayla brings her down. beautiful.

Also - I'm just going to put this out here out of experience - but I really appreciate how the vidscreens in the 30th/31st centuries still work after being smashed.

You definitely need to be doing this professionally, Drake!

Such beautiful art with a compelling story.

Dayum, that was a powerful scene Drake! Very, very cool, and dealing with some heavy character-driven drama!

Wooh I am always here for some good Vi/Yera confrontation and that was great! The emergency lighting was brilliant too, it really helped to sell the tension!

Kinda love that flashback scene where Ayla reaches out to Vi, it really shows how important they are to one another without being sappy about it

This might actually be my favourite part of this story so far!

Fantastic work, Drake!

Thank you all for the nice words! Stay tuned for Part 5 - the finale (and yes, a Legionnaire will die!)

Not for nothing, but I'd been waiting years to get this part of the story out. It came a lot later in the process - it was meant to be a small part of the story just to show the rage effects, etc. but then it came to mean more once I started writing it ... and I also just needed to say, "I'M. SO. ANGRY!!!" because I am. We all have shit, we have pain and pain turns into anger so easily. But we don't always get that heartfelt apology, and we don't all have that person who supports and accepts us. It was cathartic.

I'm glad you got to write this beautiful piece, Drake, and I hope it's a sign that you got that cathartic moment in real life too

It's interesting how sometimes writing these characters becomes a bit therapeutic...you did an awesome job, and I hope that it was helpful in real life too!

Yeah, I wanted a scene where someone makes that mistake. It could have been anyone, but in my research of when Yera was Vi, I came across the mission to the Khund homeworld (LSH #287)

and it was perfect that Brin was there - it really fits that he'd make that mistake. Even moreso since y'know when you're hanging out with your ex and you're just babbling because you're trying to seem cool and casual even though you're self-conscious in front of said ex but also want to keep talking to them? That.

good choice, Drake. it's very much like Brin to make that mistake

And if memory serves, that was the mission where the Imskians made the Vi/Yera switch

The final chapter begins...
