Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes The DnA Poll 2021

I'm aware he wrote issue 34 - did he expect that it was going to lead to more Legion gigs?

No, that was the point. He figured with only having one issue, they wouldn't let him do anything that had a consequential effect on one of the characters, and was surprised that they agreed to it. But, of course, it turned out not to be consequential at all since that version of the Legion ended a few months later.

Wow! "Should have stayed longer" is currently in the lead!

Even though I voted for "After Legion Lost v1", I also love it when polls go in an unpredictable direction.

Oof, looks like I may have been thinking with some nostalgia blinders when I originally commented, because I had forgotten about some of the absolutely dismal stuff that has been brought up in this thread.

Sneckie's 'evolution' was unnecessary and terrible. The Ra's stuff dragged on for too long. I wasn't a huge fan of reinventing Universo as Imra's cousin, but I did overall like that arc. I love the superpowered baby trope, so the Cub stuff didn't grate on me, but the pointless drama in Jo and Tinya's marriage did.

As a huge fan of big scifi shows like Star Trek, I did like how large the Legion felt towards the end, with Legion World and the Academy making a comeback. It was a really interesting concept I wish was expanded on more. So I stand by my original vote, that they should have stayed on longer, but I can admit their run was by no means perfect.

I voted should have stayed longer....there was a lot of meh stuff but I would have liked to see it progress somewhere, and overall I do feel like the series had a distinct identity of its own that I was enjoying more than not.

So in the words of Dale Cooper, "when two separate events occur simultaneously pertaining to the same object of inquiry, we must always pay strict attention."

While it's not exactly simultaneous, it's pretty close. We have this discussion happening and when moving my comics collection to my new house, I happened to open one box of several (the lightest one with the fewest contents) and what was staring me in the face? The DnA issues.

So once the move is completed, I'm gonna re-read the whole thing again. I am personally going to focus on how things feel between issues 15-18 or so, after MM was removed from the book (basically when the masthead logo changes).

But I appreciate folks like CA calling me on the carpet. And I'll be happy to eat crow if warranted.

I enjoyed pretty much all of their run so I voted for more.

The winnah, by a mile -- "Should Have Stayed Longer!"

This has been a very educational -- and, to reiterate, a refreshingly unpredictable -- poll.

My thanks to all who participated.
