Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! ON SALE NOW: LSH # 12 BIG-TIME SPOILERAMA!!!!

But don't the bald ones come back from the dead more often? At least at Marvel?

Atom Girl = The Re-Imagined Super Moby Dick of Space!

Incidentally my reactions based on my brief read of the issue: The main story is pretty awesome, though I was a bit disappointed in Lyle's "big plan" being as basic as it was.

The backup story was nothing but filler, however.

Brainy's conversation with the rock was priceless. Now I really want to know more about that relationship. Looks like we may not get answers until issue 14 though.

Vi's vocabulary suggests that Imskians might be the galaxy's nanosurgeons. It would explain what she uses the guns for. With her bedside manner, no wonder she's with Brainy.

On to the "Brainiac's Girlfriend, Nura Nal" front. Her hair's still perfect. Is the force field supposed to evoke Lightning Lad's body in the glass display case?

Some nice sequences for some of the others too, Ultra Boy and Karate Kid, Brin and the Princess Garth and Chameleon come to mind.

Now that you mention it, it seems plausible.

Aside from Nura still being labeled "deceased," 'twas a very staisfying issue. Atom Girl's lines were priceless. No clue, though, about what finally tore Brainy away from Nura. And, boy do I wish Cosmic Boy would just stop talking. Why couldn't he be the mute one?

I LOVE this book!

But, first my gripes: No new head shots in the logo! Although I liked that Barry's beautiful cover forced the cover to be downsized, we're still missing Saturn Girl, Sun Boy, Atom Girl, & Brin Londo ! And I really need them for my Random logo on my LSH page, not to mention our avatars.

Also, no mention of who triangle girl is from the cover of the issue. For that matter, I wanted to see more little "l" Legionnaires get some face time.

Lastly, Dream Girl's still considered deceased.


Now that that's out of the way, the good stuff:

Lots! More action than you can shake a stick at. Projectra gets her powers finally. Atom Girl debuts! Awesome amounts of teamwork. #13 can't get here soon enough.

And I think you guys are right about the Lightning Lad homage. They seem to be beating us over the head that Dream Girl is dead, which makes it seem obvious that she'll be resurrected somehow.

as i won't be able to get this issues till my lunch time, tomorrow !!

WHAT are Projectra's POWERS !!??

please spoil me .......

Matthew.

This issue is a goldmine of quotables! My favorite: "You can lead a Rimborian to water but you can't make him THINK!"

Followed by Ultra Boy's quip about Imra's "lead underwear".

No question that Atom Girl's spectacular entrance (and exit!) will go down in Legion history.

Projectra's first display of power fell a little short compared to Violet's, but the smack on the lips was a fun moment. "I'm not a fighter ... I'm a lover!"

The Public Service becoming "Legion Channel One" was a truly brilliant twist!

The fact that more was achieved by trickery than by brute strength is what made this such a great story.

The "Previously" pages were a nice addition for *this* issue (though I wouldn't want to see them in every issue), but I wish someone had reminded the writer AND the editor that Dormir is the communications planet and Ttrxl the transmatter planet, and not vice versa.

I dug the backup story, too. Behind the philosophical banter are two absolutely spot-on characterizations of LL and SG. The look on Garth's face when Imra started talking about the need to "take it slow" was priceless, and Imra has lost none of her shamelessness. Lead underwear, my foot.

Apart from that one little editorial glitch with Dormir and Ttrxl, it was all great fun and everything the Legion should be.

Can you picture 'Atom Girl' saying "Make my day, punk!"?
Maybe she should change her name to Clinetta Eastwood.

You're all making stuff up to tease me. Dream Girl's really alive and bald, isn't she?

Well, I'll stop by the CBS Friday and check for myself.

How about a young gal with purple hair, a white?/grayish? complexion, antennae, and a barrette?

Not to mention some powerfully glowing fists....

Yeah, I noticed that. Poor Lash, he's going to have a tough decision if Dreamer's dead.

Loved Vi's appearence; she's great! to Barry and Mark.

I'm glad to see that Jeckie's got her powers, but I was a little put off by her attitude. Didn't like the vacant look in Brin's eyes after that kiss, either.

Loved the ending; can't wait for next issue. The backup was a bit of a letdown. I wish it could have been printed first. That would have avoided the anticlimactic feel to it.

wow. This issue was great. I loved the old school style captions on the first few pages.

nice use of Cham's powers to deceive Skelter.

Atom Girl. best. entrance. ever. I like her attitude. and just want has see been up to in the microverse?

the most chilling aspect of Lemnos' speech was that if you didn't know the context, it sounds just like something the 'good guys' would say before battle.

battle scene with Karate Kid and Ultra Boy was good. Karate Kid speaks and acts calmly but seems just as eager as Ultra Boy to open a can of whup-a*@.

Note to Cosmic Boy: Xavier called and he wants Cerebo back.

last, but not least the back up story. that's was nicely done. added some depth to the characters. I look forward to more back up stories like that.

Shadow Lass or Atom Girl? I am torn, who should be my favorite female LSH member.

who yeah, I forgot. I liked the way Projectras energy aura(?) was drawn. all of the members with beam powers have a unique way that they are presented. good stuff.

This was an awesome issue. I was thrilled to see the Legionnaires fight with such pride and courage, and win.

Too bad about the filler story though. Garth's proposition seemed to come out of nowhere...

I should say that I didn't mind the back-up story so much. Not that it was spectacular or anything (it's just Garth & Imra being like any other version of Garth & Imra, after all), but I actually quite appreciated that it was fillng in a story that was already in continuity.

That's all.

Quick thoughts on your guy thoughts.

The action issues have been my favorite by far. So I am pretty sure I will like this.

Vi? attitude? yes! She's my fave female member. I started Legion with Violet's Story #305.

Don't even joke about Infectious Lass. It would break my heart. I've always had a thing for her. The girls that are bad for you and all that I guess.

wamu2, the energy effects have been amazing on this title thus far. I love all the glowing/energy effects and really thing they make this book unique. I think everyone should have a glowing insignia.

this is my favorite issue so far!!!!!

and atom girl kick's so much nass.

"best entrance ever" is f*****g A right.

Hi Guys
Glad to hear you enjoyed the issue! We really feel all the set up stuff will have been worth it for the whole next year or so - it's a lot of fun for us to actually be able to start getting into a higher gear!
I'm especially pleased you enjoyed Vi's entrance - there is indeed a whole story behind her relationship with Brainy and what she's been up to since #1
The fight scenes were a blast to draw too!

Great read! I loved the Robin bit.

Question - was Atom Girl "the one thing that might yet save the universe" or was the large spacey bowling ball "the one thing"?

And poor Invisible Kid - he really gets the stuffing beat out of him doesn't he?

The backup story is drawing by one Mr. Lashley...could our MLLASH be moonlighting unbeknownst to us!?!

I'm glad you're glad to hear it, Barry. Thank you for maintaining such a high standard of quality.

I'm pretty sure that was a reference to Atom Girl. Brainy's picking up the half sphere on page 9.

Hey hey! Does the scene with Projectra's dragon have the historic first appearance of "Sprock" in the reimagined 31st century?

This is everything the last issue was not, for me. Except for the art, of course, which just gets better. And although I haven't read the back-up story yet I must have all those original pages! A new quest!
