Not really jokey, but some really funny moments in the middle of the horror. Legion never really had those stories. We had a few that came close like the Mordru/Black Witch storyline, minus the humor. And the vampire storyline, again minus the humor (Sorry, I know some was supposed to be in there, but it was kinda flat to me.) To me the horror works better with a few beats of humor to stand out, kinda like adding salt to something sweet to make the sweet pop. Any thoughts on it? Have I missed a real Legion horror story? Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops! Something pithy!

(Season 1, Episode 6, "Fear Factory") Next time we have a DC/Marvel crossover, I want it to take place in the Hostessverse

Similarly, the Legion of the Damned storyline had a lot of horror elements (including the implication of Legionnaires being murderers or murderer-adjacent). Interested in the Post-Zero Hour Reboot Legion? Check out: The Reboot Legion Timeline Fan Fiction: The Legion of Super-Heroes v4.1 (continuing the reboot from issue 126!) on LW or here (external)

What if they did a horror story involving digital ghosts who are drawn in the blocky, uncanny valley CGI of the 90s?
