Welcome Titan Lad and Singularity!

Good to have you both join us. Make yourself at home and have fun!

Cool drawing, Singularity

And welcome, Titan Lad. I was 15 when I first started here - and back then I was pretty much the only one that young. But I still felt welcome then - you can just imagine how much fun you'll have now.

Hi Titan Lad and Singularity.

Hope you enjoy yourselves when you are here and I hope you'll both be around for a while.

Welcome everyone!

And WWC--I'm glad you're posting again a lot! I was wondering where you were a few weeks ago.

Oh and BTW Singularity, I think it's possible, if you ask really nicely in the right place, that someone might be able to magically create a version of you artwork to use as an avatar!

You are from Dallas also? Awesome.

We're on the Orion Arm? I never knew that. No wonder I'm always getting lost.

Welcome aboard Lass Girl! For someone that has only been reading the LSH for a month you sure did pick the perfect board name! Are you by any chance related to Lad Boy? (j/k)

Glad you've found your way to Legion World. Have fun!

Welcome to Legion World, Lass Girl. Among other things, this is the perfect place to learn about the rich history and mythology of the Legion.

Happy to meet you Lass Girl.

Hope you enjoy your time here.

It's a cool place.

In the area. I live in Little Elm, a little north of Dallas, but who'd recognize that town?

You know, growing up, my dream was to pencil the Legion book. Never got the chance, made too many bad decisions along the way that kept me from ever making my break into comics. Even so, I still have that dream of doing something Legion-related.

Lately, I've been semi-obsessing over Google SketchUp and I posted some of my models in a thread, here: SketchUp Stuff by Singularity

Appreciate the welcome.
Joe

Yeah, you gotta make a left at the Perseus Spur. It's an easy mistake.

Joe

Welcome aboard, Lass Girl and Singularity!

Always happy to see another Brainy fan, LG.

Wonderful sketches, Singularity!

Legion info:
my first comic that i read, loved and wanted to read more of was Legionnaires #1. what got me was the fact that they were kids. and they were cool. and they wore colorful costumes and had powers and all did different stuff. the founders love triangle seemed realistic to me (with Garth being the jealous boyfriend and eventually acting out in anger), the Tinya/Jo relationship (he's the freaking man!), Inferno being such a player, Tenz and Vi (it made so much sense, he's such an extrovert and she's so quiet!). they would flirt, they would goof off, they would argue. and most importantly they were in the future. and as a 4th grader, that meant anything was possible for me and i didn't have to worry about how Superman's death was going to affect every story, or how Batman's back getting broken was going to change things.
i actually was really grateful for the reboot b/c i had no idea of what was going on during end of an era (i was in 5th grade, i needed simplicity!).
my favorite legionnaires are easily any Garth or Jo, GATES (!!!!!!!!!), XS (when she was introduced i seriously called her 'Ziss' b/c that's how i thought it was pronounced), Kinetix, crazy element lad, and SW6 matter-eater lad.

after lurking on this board for over a year or so, i've come to see that the reboot wasn't the most popular era and yes, i got sick of the "archie legion" too, but Legion of the Damned and Copiel really drew me back into comics. i thought Legion Lost was AWESOME and the reboot will always be my legion.

i love chris sprouses work on Legionnaires, Copiel, and when Humberto Ramos drew the legion a few times while XS was in Impulse.
and i always wanted to see Ringo do the legion too, which is a shame that he never will...


anyway, i love the boards, check em every day while at work, i love the fanart stuff! i wish i had a scanner, i would have a lot of stuff i could throw on here (and you could see how big of an influence Ringo and Ramos were on me...)

i can't say that i'm into the threeboot, but with Shooter coming back and the art that i've seen, it definitely will be worth looking into.

ok later!

Welcome W4The Reboot? Lad.

Glad to have you posting.

Hi W4TR Lad! Glad you decided to de-lurk and join in in the craziness. Since you've been around for a while you don't need the learners manual so go have some fun! Hope you eventually get the chance to scan some of your art. Love to see it.

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

I've never read a Legion of Superheroes comic book in my life so far, my first 'exposure' to the Legion was via the animated LOSH. I got so interested that i looked it up in the Wikipedia, learning about the characters comib book history.

My favorite characters are Brainiac 5, Phantom Girl, Timber Wolf, Bouncing boy, Lightning lad, Shrinking Violet, Chameleon boy and Karate Kid.

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

I like a lot of things: Science fiction, comic books (Spiderman, Justice league, X-men, Transformers, Batman, Heavy Metal, MAD)PC games like World of warcraft (guilty pleasure, yeah) music, fantasy, literature, shopping, movies, nature science, webdesign and mythology.

My other fandom interest include the various Transformers tv series, Elfquest, Gargoyles, X-men Evolution, Justice League, Farscape, Star Trek DS9 and Star Wars. Whiew. Too many.

Hey, another European! Welcome, Snakeguru Lass. I can't help but wonder about your nickname though. Snake-guru Lass?? It sounds intriguing!

Hi, thanks! Well the name is taken from a user handle i have on Lycos and since this is a Legion site i threw in a "lass" for fun.

Hi, Snakeguru Lass!

Welcome to Legion World. Sweden, eh? Maybe you'd like to come to the Anywhere Machine, we've been having a discussion about International School Reading lists that is turning out to be quite interesting. I'd be really interested in how things are in Sweden. It's in the Anywhere Machine, topic: International School Reading (or something of that sort)

Enjoy the site!

I guess this is the right place for introductions, so:

Who: Antão, Positive Man
Where: Lisbon, Portugal
Why: Love of Legion (and lots of lurking here)
When: 1973, first comic ever read, at age 5 (a brazilian reprint featuring Invisible Kid and Phantom Girl in some Espionage Squad action from the Adventure era)
What: I translate books ("serious" ones) and breed dogs for a living, I surf and ride horses for sport, I will not ever drop the Legion (I liked the 5 year gap even if it spawned several horrors: I didn't like the reboot at all -with the exception of the DnA issues- nor Waid's recent stuff).

Favorite creators:
Levitz, Shooter, Giffen, Grell.
Favorite Legionnaires:
Timber Wolf, Ultra Boy, Blok
Phantom Girl, White Witch, Dawnstar
