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

No worries, Tenzil. I'm sure the original M-E Lad has been lost to antiquity (unless, of course, he is an alt-ID of MLLASH, which is always possible.) :-)

Legion info: I came into the Legion world during the early Keith Giffen run. I can't remember which issue. I think it was "Who is TimberWolf?", pre-Crisis storyline. I lived through most of the post-Crisis lines up until the end of the Legion Lost maxi-series. I pretty much gave up after that.

I came about Polar Boy for a couple reasons. One, I like the character, even when he took over as the Legion. Another is when I was role playing him with the DC Comics role playing system. I was battling a villian and rolled a critical hit. High enough that Polar Boy actually killed the villian. This was over 10 years ago and is still a running joke with us.

Other things you like: Running, swimming, working out, reading Christian books.

Anything else that you want to share! Not really. Unless anyone needs to know anything else.

Well, you didn't mention Kinetix, so we can't be friends...JUST KIDDING! Come and give me hug!

Welcome, and thanks for the info, not everyone does one of these.

::give Viv a hug:: umm, I won't get in trouble if I did this, will I??

Regarding the Kinetics thing, I wasn't wholly sold on the "Lost Legion" storyline since it paralelled Star Trek: Voyager and I thought it was a blantant rip-off.

I never liked the terraform!

I like hugs, just watch the hands.

Oh...sorry...
Sometimes my hands have a mind of their own.

Started reading Legion in the early 70's about 72 or 73. It was an older Adventure ish. Really got into it durring Mike Grell's run. # 212

How cool. What did you work on at Image? I'll bet you have dozens of cool stories about working at a comics studio.

I worked on everything that Extreme Studios did(I know, I know evil incarnate, but it was a way into the comics field). Glory, Youngblood, Bloodpool, Avengelyne, Prophet... everything around '95 and '96. After that I did some Grifter, Darkness, Altered Image, Black Panther, Pitt Crew, Ash... I don't remember it all.

Most of the guys were great. Inkers Danny Miki and Jon Sibal were awesome to be in the same studio.

I'd love a crack at coloring the Legion.

This is as good a place to audition as any. Some of the Legion staff like to read through threads here so if you join in the art threads in "Bits" there's a chance they'll see your stuff.
Heck, we'd love to see some too.
...and welcome aboard. We're kind of wierd but we're fun. (at least WE think so)

Not sure how to add pics to the board but here is a link to some of my art

Let me know what you think

I like it. I might have some of those issues.

Oooo
I like. Those are lovely.

If you use the Full Reply Form when you post you can use either the "Image" or "Thumb" option to add pics. That's the easiest way to add artwork.

Like this-


The actual link looks like this-

-except that I removed the parts that surround the link to make the picture show up.

Thanks for getting my Darkness page up here. It was the only thing I did for Top Cow.

Oh good. I'm glad you didn't mind, it's gorgeous. I really just did that to show you how the link up works. I just linked it to your own thumbnail on your site rather than searching out the larger version of the image.
Very pretty work.
There are quite a few really good pro and amatuer artists and a couple of pro colorists that come here. I'll bet if you were to PM NightCrawler of Lightning Lad they'd add your site to the other sites in the Legion Creators forum if you want them to.

Have you looked through Barry's design sketches in the forums yet? I'd dearly love to see someone lay a bit of color on some of those pencils. Betcha Barry would get a charge out of it too. Yellow Kid has a gallery of those hosted at Imageshack if you haven't seen them yet and there's even some Jim Lee Legionnaire designs to be found here somewhere. Cool stuff.

Thanks for the info on getting the images into the posts.

If I have time this weekend I'll throw some colors on 1 or 2 of Barry's drawings.

I'm trying to get some of James Sherman's originals (or photo copies) to see what that older art would have looked like with modern colors.

I did post an older pic I did on the Saturn Girl bash forum. I did the pencils, inks and colors.

Alienfish, your art is incredible. Love the one entitled "Utopia's Corner". Really beautiful.

Name: Benel( I know, weird name)
Age: 17
Where you live: Bronx, New York
What you do: I'm currently a student.

Legion info:My favorite character is Cosmic Boy. I'm kinda knew to the Legion, but with the Kitson/Waid reboot, I think that I'mma get situated with old and new Legion alike.

Other things you like: I'm a big fat comic dork, but I also enjoy novels, philosophy and classic literature in general, Goethe in specific.

welcome, Benel!

I briefly lived in the Bronx myself.

BX stand up!

Hey Benel, good to have you! I grew up in the Bronx from the age of 5 until only a few years ago. Although the section I grew up in was not considered "Da Bronx" as the world knows it. People would tell me, that's not the Bronx!!! Again, the Legion welcomes you!

Good to be welcome as a Legion faithful eventhought I just recently came into being my Legion-self last December.

I've heard alot of older Legion fan putting down the Waid/Kitson reboot, but I'm glad to have such a warm reception. Proves that once a Legionnarrie, doesn't really matter.

Which reminds me, I should get a ring....

I've been a Legion fan since 1980 (I know that seems like a long time ago to you Comet Boy...but it really isn't!!!). I was a big Giffen/Levitz fan back then. Now that was when the Legion was like the number 2 DC book, right behind the Teen Titans of Perez/Wolfman fame! I have to say that the only time I was THIS excited about the Legion was probably the "Legion Lost" mini-run. Waid and Kitson are excellent. They have captured the Legion in a light that this team hasn't seen in years! people are actually excited about this book again and that's great!!!

Name: Beth (or B1 as my brain-sharing partner would say -- don't ask.)
Age: Never ask a lady such a thing! *is appalled* Wait... I'm no lady. I'm 18.
Where you live: I thought we weren't s'posed to give this kinda info out on the internet! Well, I've always been a rebel, so... I live in various parts of sunny California.
What you do: Full-time student. >.< Yeah. Even this summer. *sigh*

Legion info (favorite characters, creators, stories, eras; when you started reading; etc.): Well, I'm pretty new to the Legion. I've only started reading with this recent incarnation because #1 I love what Mark Waid did for the Flash and his run on Fantastic Four was pretty neat and, #2 with this newest reboot I felt much less intimidated. I mean, so many characters and I knew nothing about any of them! (Except XS who I really like -- where is she, anyway?) Anyway, so far, I really like Dream Girl, Brainiac 5, Cosmic Boy, Triad and... just about everyone else. Saturn Girl and Lightning Lad seem like the "Scott and Jean" of the Legion (X-Men ref, sorry.) but that's about the only thing I don't love. For some reason, Cos really reminds me of Mal from the T.V. show Firefly. In fact, the whole series reminds me of it... the writing, the way the stories unfold... I'm really, really enjoying it. (And that's enough rambling from me.)

Other things you like (movies, books, music, etc.): (Or, maybe it isn't. ) I read loads of other comics, to start. I think my favorites (excepting the Legion) are probably... Flash (He's my favorite hero ever!), Runaways, JSA, Young Avengers, Teen Titans, Cable/Deadpool, Aquaman, Astonishing X-Men, Batgirl, Nightcrawler... yeah. The list goes on but I don't think you want to go there. In case it wasn't obvious by my list, my favorite author is Geoff Johns. By far. As for 'books, movies, music, etc.'... Well, my favorite book is The Firebrand and I like a lot of variety. My favorite movie... erm, I dunno. I like a lot of movies -- I've hardly ever not liked one. Maybe Bride and Prejudice. Music. Ohmigod, I love music. Oasis and Fall Out Boy are getting lots of play atm. And... again, enough rambling.

Anything else that you want to share!: No, no. I think that's quite enough. I'm just happy to be here 'n' stuff. w00t~
