I really hope there's some unique hook to the Gold Lanterns, besides being just Green Lanterns who happen to be gold... The Continuing Adventures of the Postboot Legion! You can also check out the Recap Thread here. Re-Reading the Postboot Legion! Come on in and share your thoughts!

Being more directly connected to such an awesome origin will surely help to boost sales. Although the book would be Tales of the Gold Lantern Corps...

I am so tired of the Big Bloated Crossover that promises a satisfying ending, but just leads into the next Big Bloated Crossover. I am also afraid we're seeing Bendis becoming a caricature of himself. I hope I'm wrong. I saw it happen with Frank Miller. I saw it happen with John Byrne. I don't want to see it happen with Brian Michael Bendis. Watching television is not an activity.

Hey, Kids! My "Cranky and Kitschy" collage art is now viewable on ipernity! Drop by and tell me that I sent you. updated often!

Scott and I have done Young Justice and Justice league together and I have enjoyed every single page we've made. He was my number one choice for this very special project. For those of you who haven't read our Legion relaunch yet go check it out. it's one of the most visually beautiful books I have ever had my name on. RYAN SOOK! It also soft teases up this very reader friendly new DC storyline inside JL/LOS called: THE GOLD LANTERN SAGA. We introduced the Gold lantern in our last Legion of superheroes run and, delightfully, his first appearance in the book sold out and went to multiple printings. And now we're gonna turn over all our cards on the gold lantern mysteries. Some of you have already asked how this new miniseries will reflect all of the many changes going on in the DC universe right now. it will reflect all of them. Yes, all of them. (And this isn't even close to the coolest Legion news I?m sitting on. Stay tuned.) Attachments Last edited by Nightcrawler; 10/15/21 02:25 PM.

I was worried an actual story might get in the way of them all being examined before they changed in 10 minutes.

He did say getting an artist to draw Legion was like throwing somebody into the deep end of the pool and also mentioned the JLA/LoS upcoming. Holy Cats of Egypt!

But I want to be honest and clear the Legion does not appear in the gorgeous @sanfordgreene illustrated Justice league annual. There are a lot of reasons to buy the annual And it does set up the JL/LOS storyline but for Legion completist's they don't appear

I wonder how much of the blame lies with DC?s marketing team The Continuing Adventures of the Postboot Legion! You can also check out the Recap Thread here. Re-Reading the Postboot Legion!
