Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Legion of Super-Heroes #3 - SPOILERS

Nice variant cover!

Nice preview!

Great preview. Loving the art more and more!

... Still miss Tyroc's hair though!

Be thankful that's all he's missing. He could be missing an arm... or his face... or his identi-teh.

Cham-as-Validus is an awesome cover.

While I almost always like the newer sleeker costumes to the old-school ones, Cham's old blue costume is a big exception to that rule.

And with a sentence, Imra and Saturn Queen are no longer 'Lanothians,' but descendents of earth-humans who travelled to Titans and met them. Go Paul, busting free of the constraints of other writers and returning the status quo effortlessly. (Although Saturn Queen has never really had the coloration that I associate with the practice of suttee...)

Ditto on your whole post Set. Love me some Adventure-era Cham costume! And great to see dumb retcons swept under the rug with the minimal amount of effort that they deserve too!

Split this up for the current issue.

Looking forward to reading it myself.

The parts with Garth, Imra, and Ayla made me smile. I'm being serious, it made me smile seeing them like that.

Third issue in and I am already in love with this new book (well, most of it anyway).

So Saturn Queen was heading back to Titan to "settle" with them hey? I wonder what she really meant to do there. I guess we'll never know for sure now.
I am not certain what her whole ordeal with the Legion was meant to accomplish, I know it sure confused me though! It has to be more than just her being bored and messing around with the Legionnaires for revenge, even though she might feel they "allowed the whole world to explode". Did she really love Titan that much? Answer = no, not really.

Speaking of revenge what is up with those Durlans anyway?

Sensor Girl really, REALLY needs to lose that ugly mask of hers. She looks so much better without it. It was good to see her in this book though.

I enjoyed the closeness and family feel of the Garth/Imra/Ayla moments. I hope the fate of the twins is not something sad in the end. That would not only devasate the Ranzz's but us readers as well I think.

I will forego any comments on this whole Earth Man as a GL plot.
I'm not really diggin' the whole space alloted in this new book to telling the story of this utterly worthless character. I don't care about any potential redemption (if that is in fact where Mr Levitz is ultimately going with this). Although I trust Paul's instincts I would rather see the 28 pages of my monthy Legion fix go to fleshing out the vast ensemble of our beloved heroes, and especially those heroes that lots of us on here have been screaming to see get more attention and focus. Not have our Legionnaires hover around "Earth Man" on Ozifer like his supporting characters or something. That's exactly what it felt like!

Come on ... gimme a break already.

Wow! I just read it and thought it was a terrific issue! I'm not gonna get spoilerish until more people have read, but...some last page, huh?

I think it came across clearly that our girl Eve is not all right in the head! Not completely sure whether that's her usual state or if it's induced by the trauma of losing Titan. Best guess is that the latter magnified the former. The Legionnaires being present and being involved gave her an excuse to wreak some crazy havoc. There have certainly been villains running amuck with less motivation.

Good question. Whatever it is, I hope it's more entertaining than being some Secret Invasion-like riff.

Yeah, it was good to see Jeckie, Jan and Tellus this issue. (Did I miss anyone else who we'd yet to see in the prior issues?) Jeckie, in particular had a GREAT moment that really recalled some prior great moments for the character!

Those scenes definitely worked. The last page makes me fear for the twins, as does the next issue blurb. I was wondering if Paul was going there.

Is it me or was there further implication that Garth and Imra had had a rough patch recently?

I actually found myself enjoying the Earth-Man/GL sequences quite a bit this issue. Between this issue and last issue, it's apparent that Kirt is more than just some thug and has at least the capacity to do great good. It's still up in the air if he'll go that way. His throwing the ring away was a bit of a head-scratcher, though. I understand that he doesn't like being forced to save aliens, but it was kind of disappointing. Also wouldn't the other Legionnaires want to retrieve the ring, if for no other reasons that it's such a powerful weapon?

But, yeah, Kirt is getting LOTS of space so far. I guess it can't be helped if that's the story Paul wants to tell right now. Proponents could argue that a non Big Four character's hogging some spotlight, though--just not one they'd choose!

Matter-Eater Lad hasn't appeared yet from the 21st century.

I enjoyed the issue and can't wait to read more.

I suspected that the Lanotharians weren't the humans that we've met from Titan.
Which leads to the question, where are the Lanotharians now?
Hopefully, they were evacuated with most of the humanoids, if they were still on Titan.

And I don't think the Legionnaires can take the GL ring.
I just don't know if the ring will go back to OA, find a different 'host' or return to, and badger, EM.

I get my copies tomorrow.

Once again, an issue I REALLY enjoyed.

Seeing Jeckie in action was awesome!!! Can't wait for more of some of the other Legionnaires, but Paul really is doing a great job of including almost everyone...

MATT _ I ORDER YOU TO SPOIL IT!!!!!!! arrrgghhh!!!!

"Is it me or was there further implication that Garth and Imra had had a rough patch recently?"

But we know what the rough patch was. Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes and Lo3W.

Read it, loved it.

Man the Legion is smoking right now. I really love the way they are using the two Legion books right now, telling contemporary stories with Levitz in a Legion groove(and when he's in that kind of groove he is the greatest Legion writer of them all), and then using the Adventure book for Silver Age type tales that recap the history of the team for new readers(and add in new details for the long time readers) with Supes serving as a gateway type character.

Love it.


I have actually lost interest in nearly every other book DC is publishing right now but the Legion is at the top of my read list for the first time in decades and that is all that matters to me in my comics reading world.


Hopefully DC will figure out they should do the same thing with the JSA and use one of their books for telling WWII era tales of the JSA/ASS.


Period comics ruls.


PS: Why can't I send a PM to myself?

Because you don't deserve it?

Before reading any of your thoughts, here's mine: It looked very much like Paul was abruptly dropping the GL plot and that he only included it in the first place because of that Adventure panel. First of all, the suspense of how the Legion finds out about the GL ring is eliminated when Earth-Man tells them. And we're plopped down in the middle of things--the Legion doesn't need to find out that he's leaving the planet, the issue starts with them already knowing. Second, he gets rid of the ring by the end of the issue, and it's under circumstances where it seems very unlikely that his having had the ring will have consequences--he didn't use it for evil or even try to force it to do his bidding. It's possible that Dyogene was testing him and he failed the test, but even then, all that that proves that he's unsuitable to use a ring that he doesn't want anyway.

Also, something that I realized today: Earth-Man was the person who messed up Tyroc's initiation into the LSH. Strange coincidence that we see Tyroc reappear now that Earth-Man's a member.

Perhaps, but I crave the certainty that goes hand in hand with pming oneself. So while I may not deserve it, I need it and as well struggle to comprehend why it is not permitted.

How does that song go?

You can't always get what you want, but if you try some times girls just want to have fun.

LOL
You're the best SK!!!
