I've often wondered if everyone here is a Legion fan, like I am. It occurred to me, however, that some of you might just hang around here because we're cool, even though you don't read the Legion. So I thought I'd find out.

If I had to go down to two books they would be JSA and LSH. Don't make me choose between the two.
The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

I do read it. I'm a slip-shod half-assed part-time Legion reader.
While I do enjoy LSH, it's not in my top 10. Probably not my top 20, either.

I read LSH and I made some of my friends read it too!! But... it's funny how 100% say yes. I giggle.

You realize that if anyone votes for other than the first choice, I can find out who you are and make it very uncomfortable here for you.

It's the only series I buy every issue of. Which either means I'm a miser or have bad taste  (now let's see how long it'll take Scott to ban me for that one)

Legion is my favorite DC comic book and concept, and has been since I was a wee lad (so long ago)! It's probably tied for my favorite comic franchise with Spider-Man, although its hard to say.

To be fair though, I'd want to hang out with any place that had the legendary Cobalt Kid posting, so don't be afraid to tell us that.

Wow, I really didn't think that everybody read LSH faithfully. That's very reassuring.

I just tried to open the Voting Window three times, and got "Web Site Not Respoding" each time. Bah!
I'll try again tomorrow, but in the meantime, I want to say that, yes, I do read LSH. Unfortunately, I seem to get my issues two or three weeks later than most people here at Legion World, so I'm always too late to join the discussions. The first issue I bought was number # 7, and while I had mixed feelings at first, it's grown on me more with each successive issue. I read # 10 this weekend and thought it was great. And it seems like the next two are going to be spectacular. I've kept faith in WaK, because I've gotten a lot of enjoyment out of their past collaborations: JLA Year One, Brave & the Bold: Flash & Green Lantern, and L.E.G.I.O.N.'s Revenge of Ig'nea story arc. And I still need to get the back issues of Empire.

Alan buys the comics in this house (as I'm too busy wearing the trousers he'd no doubt say  ), so while I'm a very loyal fan I don't think I've bought more than about 10 comics in my life.

When the server's computer is slow, due probably more to the other sites on the server and not Legion World, the first two things to go are the polls and the recent visitors, along with the last posts being out of synch.

I am smelling like a rose that somebody gave me on my birthday deathbed.

A faithful fan since about S/LSH 205... a three-decade unbroken streak that unfortunately may be ending soon in protest!

Legion is the first book I started collecting almost 30 years ago, and you'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands. If I had to go down to 1 book, it would be Legion. I'm loyal that way.

The Legion could be written by Chuck Austen and drawn by Rob Liefeld, and I'd *still* pick it up every month.

I have read every issue since Earthwar. I don't see myself stopping anytime soon.
Well, Chuck Austen might bring me close...
