Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! Lightning Saga Legion in Action!

yeah i gave up on countdown, when it was called 52...the first issue. if anything important happens i can count on a on an online form to let me know when something big happens...GOD BLESS the internet

Oddly enough, this character seems to appear on a future cover of the Dreamwar crossover... unless of course, it's the other version of the character.

But so far, the appearance of Una and Karate Kid in Countdown has been completely useless, and only a gimmick... Like about 2/3 of the series, mind you.

I am STILL confused how the Lightning Saga Legion and the Action Legion are connected.

Are they exactly the same team?

It appears to be so, but about 6 months have passed since the LS team returned to their future.

Zero Hour had that effect on many. It's funny how tohse who set out to "clean up" continuity can't resist the temptation to tinker and screw it up anew... and without telling a good story.

i think the biggest problem with 'cleaning up continuity' is that they don't stick to there guns after words.

like with the death of super girl the plan was to never bring her back and well, look how many there has been since..

if your going to clean up there has to be rules that you stick by, that what i feel the writers and editors forget

Possibly the worst mini/maxi series to ever disgrace DC.

It's already been explained at Newsarama that the Legion in the Dreamwar is either a new version or a version with characters pulled from a different point in time.

If said Legionnaire is really did, this will be the third time Keith Giffen has had a hand in that character's death.

What's happening over at Countdown is rarely spectacular, sometimes interesting, mostly boring and so very often just downright confusing. I hate it when i read a comic book and afterwards have to wonder what actually just happened?

Didn't read the last two issues yet, but well, I don't expect much to come out of it and just buy it due to AR reasons... Karate Kid and Luornu are in it after all, even if they are mostly just standing around doing nothing...

As for Zero Hour: I have the same feeling some others have told here. They did Zero Hour to clean up continuity - sweeping out Legion history by the way - and only a few years later, they started to twist the new continuity again by useless gimmicks like the Legion in the 20th history for over a year (!!!), bringing back Superboys and -girls and so on... still hate DC for what they did in 1994.

Only wonder what would've happened back then if there already was an Internet (for the common user) to flame them for what they did? I remember writing large letters (never sending them away) accusing DC of the murder of Legion Lore, I really wonder how different things might have been if this would have been discussed on Message Boards and Flamewars...

... though watching the recent Spiderman atrocity, complaining fans don't seem to change a thing...

I often wonder how an internet would have changed things in the Silver Age. I imagine something like: "How can you have a new Flash and not even mention Jay Garrick? You guys stink! Oh, and if you bring back Green Lantern, it better be Alan Scott and he better have his ring on his LEFT hand!"

can somebody send me a private message about who's not coming home?

Can anyone explain why Action 863 is not coming out until April 23? 862 came out on February 27, so that is seven weeks between issues.

either a production problem, or they want to time the conclusion closer to Final Crisis, I suppose.

***********SPOILER*******************************


Una dies an honourable but horrific death this week in Countdown. The lazy writers comment on her unrequited attraction to KK. Shades of her old crush on Supes. No wonder this girl finally settled for good 'ol Bouncing Boy. At least he was bound to be a sure thing.

Honourable? She gets eaten by a herd of smart rats!! Thats right EATEN BY SMART RATS !!! As much as I hated Countdown before this issue jacked it up to a whole new level.

About the only reason I was reading Countdown to begin with was because of KK and Una. I thought to myslef that they wouldn't go to all the trouble of having these two be a big part of Countdown unless they had something good planned for them. Jesus was I wrong about that one.

And they got... what... something like $140 out of you for something which gave you no pleasure at all?

Jeepers! This series might actually make Infinite Crisis and Zero Hour seem worthwhile by comparison!

thats got to make you feel dirty

So very dirty. I did like a few parts of Countdown I will admit. The Superman Prime stuff was fun.

Hell, they couldn't even draw Val's and Luornu's costumes correctly. Such an insipid series.

I dropped it weeks ago. Thought it would be better in the single digit numbers, but it's actually worse.

I get the feeling that neither Karate Kid nor Una were the real deal. Clones... possibly.

If anyone is trade-waiting, do yourself a favor and buy a Legion Archive or TPB instead.

I was ready to dump it but then they added Ultraman (or a version of him anyway) so they hooked me back in. The last two issues have NOTHING to do with the story we've been following for a whole freakin' year now! Two issues just to give us the origin of Kamandi's world? Aaaaarrrrrrggggg!!!!

Well the honourable part was sacrificing her life to save two other people. The getting eaten by smart rats... not so much.

the hell! i hated them dying I HATE IT...I BET KEITH GRIFFEN WAS RESPONSIBLE WE KNOW HE HATES VAL! (ACTUALLY QUITE SERious) sorry for caps i just hate that they died!!!!

Just to let you know, it's solicited for April 2nd now.

The only way I can rationalize and accept these deaths... is that they were already dead... somehow KK was brought back after his Nemesis K confrontation and Una was brought back after her confrontation with Computo.

but its like they died unmourned by the legionnaires...we dont know so far that they know they died that's just sad. Imagine Jeckie going thru val's death yet again? Lu's suffering another part of her dying again....ARGGGGGGGGGGGGH!

legionnaires should not die from RATS!!
