Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes legion Lost #3 previews & spoilers

So anyway, about Shadow Lass.....

With the pre-flashpoint Legion, all the questions were answered by the end of the first year of the series with Supergirl meeting the Legion and having covered off Mon-El and Superboy/man.

The legion's history makes it a slave to Superman reboots but early indications seem to show that the Morrison-Superman is no near as destructive to Legion history as the Byrne-Superman. So while I'm not exactly overjoyed at DC screwing around again, I'm willing to wait and see. Action 5-6 may provide some of the Superman and possibly Mon-El answers.

How will you know if you aren't reading? And why bother commenting on a comic you haven't read? Will you by Tony Defalco's first issue to see if it is any good?

Mine was not a argument about buying verses commenting, it was a question based on curiosity. The fact that you have read the issues answers the question.

Dev-Em and Laurel Kent are character that have beeen changed in each reboot according to the changes in the Superman backstory.

Dev-Em: pre-Crisis: Kryptonian, Post crisis: some weird psychic powers and post 5YL a Daxamite villain. so changing him again is no big deal really. No doubt he will turn up eventally. It ws well over a year before the 5YL Dev-Em turned up.

Laurel Kent: I can't imagine the Manhunters crossover is still in continuity and the idea of her being Superman's descendant must be gone - it was always stupid anyway IMHO.

Both Laurel Kent and Dev-Em were Superman family characters and these will always be victim to the whims of the Superman editorial team. Better not to have ever had them.

Of course any story that had Superboy or Supergirl as a key character will be open to question, but this has been the case since the Man of Steel re-wrote the history of the Krypton Kousins post Crisis on Infinite Earths.

NoLonger, as I said in an earlier post, Mon-El is very much part of the Superman family but he is appearing in Secret Origin #5 so presumably is being explained in that issue.

Believe it or not, I share your pain. The messing around after each reboot (CoIE, Glorith-verse and Infinite Crisis) has soreley pissed me off. But it is par for the course for comics today. Superman has been messed around more than most, which is why the Legion suffers. But when you look at other comics, everyone from the Justice League to the X-Men have suffered so I guess I have just accepted the reboots as a fact of comic life. I don't like it but I either accept and read on or stop buying.

Despite all the reboots and retcons, I still read the Legion because the magic that was there when I was eight has never gone despite the best efforts of DC.

It would make sense for the Legion Secret Origin series to become a Secrets of the Legion that covers the whole history to date and answers all the questions but clearly DC doesn't care enough to put it out. That won't make me stop reading though any more than a Pocket Universe, Laurel Gand or Wildfire being leftover bits of Red Tornado did.
