Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board Welcome to Legion World. Introduce yourself, why don't ya!

His name was Rio Pacheco. And you can buy the 1st half of season three now. If you have any questions you can ask Christy Marx. Go to her website and email her, she great in responding.

Er. You're a pink haired rock singer? So what's your day job?

I'm officially unemployed or a student if you would, I'm studying to be an actress and an English professor. I am in a band called Holographic Nature featuring John Cotton. It's made up of family, except for John Cotton, who is just playing with us at the moment.

I don't have pink hair but I have put temporary coloring in my hair when I perform, sometimes, and pink has been one of the many colors, mostly pink, green and white.

Does your band have a website? Do you tour? Coming around NYC anytime?

I'm the most advanced when it comes to the web, and I don't know jack, so no website.

We might start touring in mid-autumn, but a member is still iffy about doing it, were hoping for a yes, it's looking like we will, I know what cities I'm going to, but I should ask which clubs.

I am going to New York, if I tour for 5 days, we are literary going to dicuss a contract with the record label Jetset. If all goes well, then I will have a website.

Awesome, Vi. Go you!

It sounds like fun, but I'm working constantly and I have no time to actually have a break. Remember I'm going to New York and back in 2 and a half months, non stop driving.

Legion info (favorite characters, creators, stories, eras; when you started reading; etc.)

Started reading LSH around the Omega storyline. Became passionately loyal during Levitz/Giffen thru the first couple years of TMK (vastly underrated work, IMO).
Favorite Legionnaires: Karate Kid I & II, Projectra/Sensor Girl, Dream Girl/Dreamer, Chemical King, Invisible Kid I & II, Spider Girl, Color Kid, Night Girl, Shadow Kid, Laurel Kent, Nightwind, Duo Damsel and Tyroc.

(No, I never really understood my particular sensibilities either. I just know I feverishly looked for all their appearances and had a healthy, mostly-consensual fantasy life with some of them -- ahem.)


Other things you like (movies, books, music, etc.)

I read a lot -- mostly fiction and plays, primarily by ethnic writers.
I also dissect movies with my brother (who works on films and tv series as a cameraman), much to the consternation of anyone accompanying us (so we go by ourselves).
As for music, I listen to musicals (yes i'm gay), house music (ditto yes), r & b (because i like to hear men croon about how much they love me and i relate to the women talking about how he broke their heart), the frustratingly tiny percent of hip hop that's innovative and brilliant (currently that might only be Outkast and Missy Elliot standing), and a scattering of world music i pick up while travelling.

Great to see you here, MYG 235-Andy S! Sounds like we have a lot in common.

Legion info (favorite characters, creators, stories, eras; when you started reading; etc.): I'm actually a recent fan. I was a casual reader of the Baxter series and the old Legionaires book, before Zero Hour took over. I've recently started getting back into the Legion, first picking up some issues of the recent series and buying some trades, including The Great Darkness Saga, which I had heard a lot about. My favorite Legion members are Dream Girl/Dreamer, Saturn Girl, and Dawnstar. Favorite creators include Levitz and Giffen.

Other things you like (movies, books, music, etc.) I'm not a big movie person but do watch my fair share of television. My musical tastes are more along the lines of Top 40/hip hop/R&B. And I have an affinity for trashy novels.

Anything else that you want to share!

I'm a fan of Japanese women's pro wrestling.

What you do: Throw food at people while dreaming about going back to school for my Masters

The first LSH issue I picked up was the "fill the audience in" issue at the end of the first Reflecto saga. I loved it, mainly because I thought Phantom Girl and Dawnstar's outfits were SO cool, and for the gratuitous shots of naked Superboy, which positively influenced my sexual orientation (though it was pretty hardwired into me by that point.) Later on, I picked up some digest reprints of the Adventure era. and loved them as well. All of which prepared me for Legion and Legionnaires #0, which hooked me. I've been a pretty big LSH fan ever since!

I love the Transformers, and click here to read more about that! I love musical theater, and theater in general. I wish I had the opportunity to play more in musical theater these days. My undergraduate degree is in music (voice) and I'm pretty dang good. Of course, now I'm thinking very seriously about doing a career 180 and going back for a master's in biostatistics, becoming a research scientist, which is pretty wild for someone who once was a professional singer and actor, but things change.

I also love Lee, my partner. He is at the center of my life. He works with software and makes TONS more money than I. I'm still figuring out how to deal with that. We have been together for nearly 3 years now, and I hope we will never part ways (at least until we're both in our twilight.)

I love sports, especially college football (to watch) and tennis (to play.) I love video games, and they eat up far too much of my time. If it wasn't for Civ 3, I'd have my first symphony finished by now. I'm a composer as well, and my biggest, most secret dream is to stand up and accept the Tony for best score of a musical. I doubt it'll ever happen, but who knows what can happen in the next 50 years! I also love other 80's cartoons besides Transformers (GI Joe, Thundercats, He-Man) and cartoons in general. My very favorite movie is probably still The Empire Strikes Back, though the Lord of the Rings trilogy is gaining ground. I also dig more recent indie fare, like American Splendor and such. Lee and I are pretty heavy movie afficianados. Uhm... I love being here on Legion World. And I feel very blessed by the people who have become my friends here. As for the philosophical currents moving my life... let's save that for another thread and just concentrate on the Transformers here!

AUTOBOTS! TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT!

Nice to know a bit more about you, Kippers!

You'll be sure to thank Legion World when you accept that Tony, won't you?

After reading up on you, I can safely agree with you. (though that whole monogamous-partner thing is a mystery to me)

Hmm...maybe I should do one of these.

Wow, Thora posted a Who's Who profile! Way to put forth even more of an effort!

Not only will this win you over some votes, the new gentler you is making a great impression on us LWers.

I work in an office, and I'm finishing up my last few credits of art school (BFA, Fine Arts [Painting]).

Let me just say I love what you guy call the "Archie Legion" derisively. I thought it was good for what it was, and it kept true to the spirit of the book for pretty much it's entire history up to the end of the Magic Wars. Admittedly, it fell off after a while (I guess it started slowly around Dark Circle), and Roger Stern did seem to be slacking off somehow (of course we have high expectations from his earlier work, especially on Action Comics). Anyway I was sad to see it go, especially since we had TWO TITLES!!! Some people just had it out for it from the beginning though.

I first met the Legion as a kid in John Byrne's Superman. I missed the second part in Action Comics, though. I bought every #0 issue that came out, and I knew that Waid was writing Legion at the time, but despite the ravings in WIZARD I didn't pick it up again until the Superboy crossover (I only got the Superboy issue, but later tracked down the Legion books). After that I picked up Legionnaires #36 on the shelf, bought it, and was hooked! Valor, Ultra Boy, and Element Lad became my three favorite male Legionnaires. It's since shifted slightly, I've come to love Gates as you can see. By the Emerald Eye saga it was my favorite book and I could barely make it through the mere two weeks between the two books. I was on LSH-L and the racdl Newsgroup site up until I went to college. BTW, anyone from that list migrate here? Everyone uses codenames now. Is the Legion of Super-Gamblers still in action?

I'll say my favorites are as follows in terms of Eras and creators:

Levitz (until it trailed off)
most of the Reboot
Shooter
Superboy & The LSH
Adventures era (dispite the lack of characterization... they're fun!)
The Legion
SW6 Legionnaires
Legion Lost and Worlds (I liked the M'Onel issue, but the Spark issue was my second least favorite of the postboot, after LL #12.)
TMK
pre-Levitz, pre-300 v.2... especially when Joe Staton and Jim Janes were drawing

Waid is one of my favorite writers, and I fully expect to love the new series. I hope Gates, XS, and Kinetix make it in. I also like Peyer, what's he doing these days. It was his idea to make the 30th Century vegetarian. Waid did the same for Superman in birthright... do you think he'll do it in Legion? It makes sense for the 30th Century in my opinion. While I didn't like the tone of the 5YG stories as much, I have to say that Tom and Mary really know (knew) the Legionnaires' individual personalities. I know Waid will give us lots of characterization. I hope the pacing doesn't suck like it did in the reboot from Mordru on. The pacing and suspense was really working well before that.

Favorite Legion artists (no particular order):

Chris Batista (bring him back for the spin-off/2nd title!)
Jeff Moy
Phil Moy
Lee Moder (his work hit a stride at a certain point)
Mike Grell
Steve Lightle
Adam Hughes
Curt Swan
Keith Giffen (Mahlsteadt inks circa v.3 300's)
Stuart Immonen
Chris Sprouse
Colleen Doran
Alan Davis
Scott Kolins

Incidentally, Gates and I read the same books! Well, that's all for me. Long Live the Legion of Super-Activists!

Oh and I forgot to mention I love FOX's The O.C. because they plugged Legion TWICE!

Legion Info: Started reading the Legion way back.. Have always loved the concept and can not imagine the comic world with out one. Have always related to Timberwolf, but love all the characters.

Other things: I love to read all types of books. Have really gotten hooked on Peter David's Star Trek New Frontier and Sir Apropos of Nothing series ( he does it all)
I enjoy horror films and really good slap stick..like the Naked Gun movies..

Hey Dave.

Glad you've decided to post. I swear there's a "Welcome" thread for you somewhere buried under the pages and pages of posts. Things move pretty quick around here, so don't be afraid to jump in and get your feet wet. We're a pretty good bunch one you get to know us!

Well, here goes

My name's Hollis. I live in Georgia (A suburb of Atlanta, actually). I work at a theatre to pay the bills (and by bills I mean Waffle House and Cigarettes) and fund my college payments. I live in a dream world, and I'm just fine with it. I've been doing creative stuff like comics and cartoons and videogames since I was young. I love being social in crowds, and always loved being the weirdo. I used to go to this old comic store near a fabric shop my mom loved and happened upon a copy of the Legion of Superheroes. I liked them, and the old guy at the shop (I loved that guy. he always smelled like old newsprint and mothballs. The smell of a quality comic shop, in my opinon ) gave me a copy of Legionnaires issue one on the house. I was hooked. I loved the art, the characters, _everything_. I started digging, and soon I collected every Legion comic I could find. I loved the dynamic, the setting, the drama, the loss (I was so young, so I was always choked up when I saw a shot of all the Dead Legionnaire statues. I know its stupid, but it's also childhood ) and what can I say...been a legion fan since. Other interests...well I love rpg games, be they PbEM, IRC, console, or otherwise. I love the improvisational creativity involved and all that. Movies? Uh, Boondock Saints, Igby Goes Down, and pretty much any Zombie flick Music? Uhm, I pretty much live by the Barenaked Ladies, but I love all music, from rap to country. Books? Clockwork Orange, anything by Douglas Adams. Heh, that's pretty much it. Sorry bout the huge post. I'm sure that's more than anyone wanted to know about anyone, heh...

Loved the huge post, I like to here about my posting buddies.

Good to have you onboard GL and Stargazer.

Not too sure about you though bIZARRO no1
