Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Recent Legion-verse sightings in DCU proper

Yes, and a great rendition of it, too.
Earlier, when Johns began JSA, the Mordru stories, he had the Gem World mostly destroyed by that boy wizard and his familiar.
I'm glad that DC has resurrected it, dragons and all.

Now, if we could just find Amy.
sigh

did you guys see what's the latest news on DC the Source? They show the Legion - only a hand with *TWO* rings - one is a Legion Flight ring AND one is a GREEN LANTERN ring!!!! whoa about time we have a green lantern member in Legion. can't wait...gonna be very interesting to see how Paul Levitz will write...especially that he wrote LSH #295..the one story that revealed why GL were banned on Earth. oh boy, can't wait!!!

Preview of Superman #697 out this week:

Y'know, I remember people expressing irritation with the little balloon-panel things that show up to remind new readers of the characters' names (ie-- the Waid/Kitson run).

However, those actually make more sense to me than having the leader of the spy org essentially tell his opponents, Oh, by the way, here's my real name and the name of the spy org I'm in, just for future reference.

Uh, the pages look really nice, though. I have to nitpick like this to allay my frustration at being flat broke. Never mind. Talk amongst y'selves.

QUISLET!!!!!!!! QUISLET!!!!! QUISLET!!!! yeahhhhhh, nice to see the lovable engine ship back again!!! and talks too! Ah....you have been missed sorely, after all.

Aw yeah, Quislet!

SIGHS ...ANYONE WHO'S NOT EXCITED BY THE 'ORIGINAL' LEGION BEING BACK CAN with respect suck it QUISLET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way who's left to be found in the 21st century? Dream Girl & Tyroc?

sigh
I'm a happy camper.

The comments about the artists? I didn't follow. Why the kvetching? It's beautiful!

Something else else about the drawing of Cham made me for the first time draw a parallel between John Jonzz' two "human" forms and Chams'. I think it was the shiney forehead that did it. I think I'd like to see Cham alternate more between this and his tribal form, though I suppose message board analism would require at least 3 threads as to why he defaulted to the more human form when injured.

ps: I don't think the writer has really found Quislet's "voice." Not the words I'd imagine for Quiz, riding to the rescue. Something else else a bit more self-centered, than introductory.

LOL maybe Quis learned from his gossiping behind Dream Girl's back?

Re: Element Lad's appearance on the last page: I know that the "coming this year" page in Adventure Comics # 1 pretty much made it obvious that Jan is Connor's chemistry teacher (or some such), but was it ever "properly" revealed on-panel the way Jeckie's, Cham's, Tenzil's and Quislet's were?

<span style="font-size: 50px;">QUISLET!!!</span>

Yeah, but it keeps us away from those awful online slot machines, so ppppppphhhttt!!

Easy, boy.

Super kewl !!!!!

I was really let down by this issue. Other than the reveal pages NC shows above, noting happened. Even worse it was almost intentionally circular. Legion reveals itself, incapacitates Mon-El and takes off because he can't see them yet. Superboy shows up and asks Mon to come to Smallville to meet the same Legionnaires who just avoided him. And, um, that's it?

I'll be really glad when Robinson hands the team over to Levitz, because I'd rather watch paint dry than read his Mon-el, which is saying a lot because he's one of my favourite Legionnaires.

It is official...I hate Jeckies outfit. That is one of the single worst outfits in comics.

Other than that...it is so cool to see them all back in action.

One questions though...when did Tenzil join the Espionage Squad?

He's an obvious choice to send back anonymously to the 21st century, what with all the drive-by haircuts going on. Nobody's going to sneak up on Tenz and break scissors on HIS hair!

Ah...he's just going to be impossible to live with now.

Welcome to the 'Legionnaires Johns wasn't using for Lo3W team.'

We've got Chameleon Boy, who would have been redundant, since he was using Chameleon Girl.

We've got Matter-Eater Lad, Tellus and Quislet, who are complete strangers to the Espionage Squad team, or, in the latter two cases, the very concepts of duplicity or subtlety. Next we'll see the Legion Diplomatic Squad, starring Wiiiiildfire, Angry Loner Wolf, Petulant Brainiac and the chemically-unbalanced version of Garth... Oh, sorry, my eyes just rolled completely out of my head there.

We've got Element Lad, who would have messed everything up, since he's the Legionnaire most able to snuff Prime like a candle (by turning him into a wet warm puff of hydrogen gas, or something) and most dramatically famous for ending an invasion of 10,000 Kryptonian-level Daxamites with a wave of his hand.

Which leaves of with Star Boy, who he actually had real plans for! Freakish, I know. Also, since he's become schizophrenic and apparently unable to communicate effectively, or hold a train of thought for more than a moment, he's just *perfect* for a team based on infiltration, subtlety, calculated deception and vital intelligence-gathering! (Oh wait, perhaps... not?)

And Jeckie, who was actually involved in the action in Lightning Saga and Legion of Three Worlds, appearing to teleport back to the future, but apparently not doing so, or, perhaps she's joined Tinya in the 'retconned into secretly being a Carggite' category and has selves in both the 21st and 31st centuries?

Of them, Jeckie seems like the best bet to become a members of the new Espionage Squad, in temperament, as well as abilities.

What a strange, eclectic and somewhat inappropriate group to be calling themselves the Espionage Squad...

I could grow to like the gold thingie on her head, and the funky hip-boots with Cockrum-esque curliques, but the eyeholes in the mask are even worse than the boob-hole.

Wow, way to mess up the flow of her lines completely! Complete feng shui fail!

Boobhole.

"Go stick it in your boobhole."

Thank you.

Could also be used in phrases like, 'Shut your boobhole, you!' 'Man, he was such a boobhole last night, I don't know why you put up with his boobishness!'

Go blow it out your boobhole!
