Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! Legion news at SDCC...

the first DC panel, Countdown, is live right now and already some talks about the legion!

And there is also this:

Thanks for the update. Keep the news coming. Oh and enjoy the convention.

Awesome news thus far. Thanks.

Additions from CBR :

Wait... by this time next year we'll have "more clues"...

So when exactly are we going to have the answer?

Geoff did say he was doing a Legion:Rebirth type story. I wonder if the Action arc is it or just leads into it.

I wondered the same thing. You'd think by SDCC next year everything would be set so we could celebrate the 50th. This makes it sounds like the 50th anniversary may only be the beginning.

Toon news from Comics Continuum :

"Kari Wahlgren is returning as Saturn Girl, and she is also voicing Duo Damsel instead of Triplicate Girl. Somthing happens to the character early in Season 2."

Can you say "Computo," boys and girls?

Interesting that there's no mention of Chuck. I guess we're not going to see more of his term as leader.

Oh, fer cryin' out loud.

They're going to drag this thing out until the conclusion of Final Crisis, aren't they? Sounds like the answer isn't as pure and simple as "the Multiverse" after all.

"They're going to drag this thing out until the conclusion of Final Crisis, aren't they? "


Why would they do otherwise? It's the 50th anniversary I would hope they'd aim high. Hitting the target is another story but I'm looking forward to riding the bullet.

Not me. Wake me up when the train reaches its destination. And then only if we arrive somewhere scenic and fun.

Let's keep our eyes on the prize. DC's just jerking us around with all this continuity stuff, and it's distracting us.

What we want right now is not answers to continuity questions. We can wait for those; they're not important and can be resolved anytime, or not at all.

What we want right now, and in the near future, and in the far future, is good comic books.

The problem is jerking us around with continuity stuff is antithetical to good comic books, as far as I'm concerned.

It seems they are going to stretch many things out until Final Crisis. I've noticed little retcons here and there that I know won't be followed up on until then.

So no huge news at SD for the Legion I am guessing? Maybe some more info on the Action arc. Maybe they mention a mini with the LS Legion.

I think Bedard said to expect an announcement for plans following his arc. So I assume we'll get some indication of the next creative team.

Yeah! using the True Legion of Super-Heroes from the Pre-Crisis DCU.

I went to the Teams Panel this evening and they barely mentioned the Legion in passing. (Of course I left halfway through due to boredom...).

No!

That is what you want. That is what some people want. It is only one of the (apparently mutually exclusive) things that I want. And it is not what some other people, who are just as much Legion fans as you are, want.

Please don't put your words in other people's mouths, unless you're saying something as trite and unarguable as the words that I put in other people's mouths.

Matthew, really you don't think the majority of people want that? You don't think that title will outsell any Legion DC has put out in over a decade?

I agree some people don't want that. But many more do. It's like Classic Coke and New Coke. Some people loved New Coke. Some.

I disagree, Jorge. The threeboot legion is what brought me to the series in the first place. I know I'm not alone. It may not have been the right decision-- having the Legion rebooted and then rebooted again-- but it was done and undoing it would be as big a mistake, IMHO.

I may not know the Silver Age Legion that well, but what I do know is that I don't particularly care for it. It's unfair to compare the Legions that way because there are plenty of new readers (like me) who'd be really bummed out to see this version go the wayside.

How do you know that more people want the original Legion back? It could just be that those who want it back are the loudest of all the fans, possibly because they're so dissatisfied. Writing the Legion is daunting because nothing is ever going to please everyone.

There's truth in sales and obviously there was something about the original Legion that wasn't selling or they wouldn't have gotten rid of it in the first place. If they could sell it now, great. But getting rid of the new Legion-- my Legion-- would be a mistake and probably run off the newer Legion fans who don't know the history.

A reboot didn't fix it the first time. It didn't fix it the second time. I doubt wiping the slate clean would do it, either. The answer lies elsewhere... probably in writing good stories, like Matthew E said. And that can be done with any Legion... though I still hope it'll be mine.

Sorry Dude did not meen to put words in your mouth I was agreeing with you on the good stories and putting my two cents in on what I want the Legion that stood the test of time for 30 years.

Caliente, I by no means want to get rid of any Legion. I am all for the multiverse.

If you really believe there is truth in sales than that is that. The silver age Legion NEVER sold as little as the Zero Hour Legion or the WaK Legion. I even think right before ZH the v4 Legion didn't sell that low.

And just because they are bringing back the old Legion doesn't mean the stories are going to automatically suck. Everyone wants a good story.

The minority is the loudest? You guys really think the PC Legion fans are a minority? You guys don't understand you are that loud minority? I'm sorry if I sound mean but I just can't fathom the PC Legion selling 30K a month.

I don't know or care about the numbers. That's DC's problem, not mine. I just know it isn't unanimous.

This may be pretentious of me, or overdramatic, or something like that. But I'm trying to write my blog for all Legion fans, not just fans of this version or that. Therefore I want a solution to the Legion Problem that works for all Legion fans; I'd feel irresponsible advocating anything else. And one thing that I really don't like is when someone says that they want what they want and never mind what anybody else wants. (I don't think that this is what Lone Wolf Legionnaire was trying to say. I do think that it's an implication of how he said it, though, and that's why I responded strongly.)

I am much of Caliente's way of thinking as described in her last comment here. Although I don't insist that DC stick with the threeboot; I think they should go with whatever version makes the best commercial and artistic sense... but have the other versions available for use as appropriate. I don't think it's the best solution, but I think it's the best available solution.

Infact, I wouldn't mind if they announce a Legion Infinity title and each issue focuses on a different Legion. It's nothing against other Legions.
