Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes What is your favorite current Legion title and why?

Legion of Super-Heroes, Legion Lost, Legion Secret Origins, Legion/Star Trek, which of the currently published Legion titles is your favorite and why?
For me it is Secret Origins, it contains my favorite Legionnaires (Garth is my all time favorite Legionnaire); of the four titles I love it's art the most and it's current storyline is the one I find the most engaging and enjoyable. I love the covers on the Star Trek/Legion book. Timber Wold and Wildfire are two of my top 5 favorite Legionnaires. I don't have a problem with the mothership title but it feels like a comic associated with a toy line, meaning there would be times 'new' characters would seem to be forced into the series while more popular iconic characters are pushed to the side. In order to sell new toys, everyone already has a Snake Eyes or Optimus Prime already afterall. I'd prefer a more iconic team make up with maybe a new member or two. I feel the masses prefer a Legion book to a Legion Academy book or a book combining the two.

I'm not getting Secret Origins or Star Trek YET, so that leaves me with two.

I prefer Legion Lost to LSH main for now, if only because I love the cast of 7 (when Gates reappears). I also like that the smaller cast size allows for a lot of focus (unlike poor Jacques and Quislet over on LSH main, and Harmonia Li who has done NOTHING yet).

ST and the Legion is my current fave as well!

It's been jumping month to month for me. "Lost" is definitely trailing the pack. Last month I would have had a hard time choosing between Secret Origins and ST/LSH, but both seemed to stall a bit in their November issues and I enjoyed the main title much more.

Top to bottom:
Legion Lost
Secret Origins
LSH
ST/LSH

I am actually genuinely surprised that people hate Legion Lost so much! I am really enjoying it.

I am not reading Secret Origins (though VERY tempted to start picking it up based on reviews), and I was initially going to get ST/LSH, but have changed my mind after having read reviews....so my very short list is LL first, then LSH coming in at a closer second than I thought it would based on the last series.

1) Legion Lost, due to the interaction with Fabian, and his discussions about how he wanted to do more with Wildfire and Dawnstar than explore their 30 year old frustrated romance, and develop lesser-developed characters like Tellus and Tyroc, was drawing my interest more than the others.

2) Legion of Super-Heroes, is covering the core of the Legionnaires I am most interested in following, and so draws my second place vote.

3) Star Trek / Legion is just too darn slow. Holy crap, could they take a lesson in pacing! Still, it's beautiful and intriguing.

4) Legion Secret Origins I had *such* high hopes for. And, so far, it's vastly less entertaining than our joke thread about it.

After three issues, Legion Lost, although I've only read one issue of Secret Origins. I wasn't expecting to like Lost; these are some of my least favourite legionnaires (except for Gates, whose fate is unknown) and I tire of the Legion visiting our time. However, I've found it to be psychologically interesting: the panic the team felt when the time bubble crashed, the insight into how Wildfire thinks/feels (just to see Wildfire think about something other than Dawnstar is a change), the distinctly different behaviour and personalities of the legionnaires. There's also new portrayal of their powers: Yera's physical instability, how Dawnstar sees things and Tyroc's ability to fly with his sound power. There's a lot of mystery to the story as well: will the legionnaires themselves get infected and change? Will the plague be arrested (presumably yes) or just die out on its own? Will the book be forced to wrap up and return everyone to the 31st century or are these legionnaires to be forever part of the current DCU? (Or maybe we're in another bloody timeline story. :rolleyes: ) Anyways, it's the one book I'm most looking forward to.

I seem to be a minority here. I'm going to go with

1. Origin
2. main title
3. Star Trek/Legion
4. Legion Lost

I'm actually enjoying the Origin title a lot, perhaps because I became a fan in the 70's and have never liked the Adventure Legion era very much. To me this origin works much better. And as I've said in another thread, Levitz's stories read much better in one go, as opposed to separate issues (I just finished re-reading my Legion collection). On the other hand, I am positively hating Legion Lost, to the degree that I'm considering dropping it. I guess I'll keep it to see what this new writer does with it, but I hate the constant links between the LSH and the 21st century. It's as if we right now would be obsessed with the year 1011 in particular. Why?
