Let's hope the next academy class include more aliens along with the two we've seen in issue 10. At least one anyway, and perhaps a female who doesn't look like she should be on a catwalk, someone like Monstress who played to male stereotypes with her muscles bulging. The Legion is the only mainstream comic that could get away with a non skinny woman in their ranks. The Legion should be the most visually diverse group in comics.

Does anyone else find it annoying how Quislet has vanished and other than a throwaway line from Rokk no-one has said anything. Still, maybe now there's a tracker back on the team they can go looking for Quis.


Legion Worlds NINE - wait, there's even more ongoing amazing adventures? Yup, and you'll only find them in the Bits o' Legionnaire Business Forum.

*raises hand*

You'd think someone would have at least mentioned trying to look for Quislet... I would think that would be a top priority.

With the implications that Cosmic Boy practically drove himself to a nervous breakdown spending a year or so searching for the Lost crew, it is odd that Quislet's mysterious disappearance rates a, 'Oh yeah, Quislet disappeared, too.'

I get the impression that DC editorial is actively turning the Legion human. Tellus, Gates, Quislet gone and all the newbies human. My feeling is that DC believe that a human team will appeal more to their 'new' audience, just as the humanoid Legion was popular with a young readership in the sixties and seventies.

I hate to say it, but I agree...the Legion cast is visually the blandest it has been for a long time (which is ironic considering Portela's hitting it out of the ballpark with the art...he seems to have fun with Cham's transformations and some of the Dominator stuff, so I'd love to see what he could do if he was given something really out there to illustrate)

i can i just say that I'm honestly just disappointed in the DCNU? is there a thread for that??

i feel like since flash point everything that made comics great is out the window. Legion especially.

i want to see more worlds and new villains...

and I'd like to see new powers in the Legion. like a water manipulator or even generator.


read the adventures of the Reboot Legion!

Not to mention the scenes in Legion fo 3 Worlds where the Legion REALLY took time to search for their missing teammates.

I miss the camaraderie shown there.

Re humanoid Legion - maybe that's why they're representing so many non-Caucasian races in the Legion now. OK, maybe not so many (no Middle Eastern or Latin Americans yet), but we have several Asians and the tracker dude seems very African.

But I'd rather have both racial diversity and species diversity...
