Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes DC Universe Legacies #6

Thanks for the link, I found it educational. I don't usually pay attention to artists or writers unless I love/hate something they have created. Otherwise, I am only concerned with the result, not who get's credit or blame for it. Unless, it is so awful that I fear if the person ever gets involved again... whicn is pretty much the case here. If this really was his work (and not something being falsely atributed to him to shift responsibility) then I pray that he is never allowed to think about the Legion again, let alone write anything for them, for the rest of his life. It wasn't funny and it did nothing to draw new readers to the new series. It was nothing but a huge slam of the characters and the readers. If this series is supposed to be the new 'definative' history of the DCU (and I think that is in question?) then appearently DC cares nothing about the Legion at all except for what money they can squeeze out of us before they toss the book in the can..... again.

Absolutely in agreement with I Am Legion.
Frightful it is only a mercy word.
I hope Mr Giffen don't do more disasters in the annual with my precious Empress...
Pa Kent look like a zombie anorexic....

heh! Of course, I enjoyed it. I can see it bumming out fans who look at LEGACIES as the current be-all 'History of the DCU' but I think it's far too full of continuity inconsistencies to be considered that.

It amused me and I love the art.

The art was great..! The story was kind of funny.. but I was looking for something a little more serious.

Would a story like this bring in new readers to the Legion? I doubt it.

I think writing a story like that should be to bring new readers into the Legion mythos. Why do it if that isn't the case? Shoot yourself in the foot much?

While the story did only get one minor chuckle out of me (Imra: "Why do I look so harsh"), I did not feel insulted by it. As a Legion fan since the late 70s, I rather felt insulted when the Legion was rebooted in 1994 - to make fun about this insult is less of an insult, in my eyes... rather some form of gallows humor, which has to be permitted after all that we've been through.

Still, the story, like most of the Legacies backstories, is totally redundant. The main series is fantastic in my eyes, some of the best books DC has done in years, but those backups stink.
