Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! Cover [and Solicitation] to issue 2!

Okay... so who do you suppose will be the first person to try their hand at coloring those B&W images...?

Thanks LL - I'll take you up on that when I get a moment to come up with something to use!

Thanks for the info about the titles too...now I have something to aim for

And that makes me wonder if good ol' RJ is the person wearing the mysterious second pair of boots we've been speculating about. As I recall, Barry said that he was very surprised that no one had guessed who it was.

Is it RJ? Someone had to pay for those flight rings!

Same here. The way Coipel and Lightle did Tas' hair seemed very warrior like to me.

Regarding the "helmet-wearing monkey" guy, I think we're seeing his bald head (not a helmet) and he's wearing some apparatus that covers his eyes and mouth.

I think he's still got antennae, they're just not on his head anymore...

Any chance of posting any interior pages?

I say NO to RJ being in the re-imagined legion.

I've long found him to be a very painful, irritating character. And he has that terrible "by damn" catchphrase which has been used way too many times by every writer who has ever used the character.

Hi Guys - I could only post interior pages that have already seen print - black and whites or penciled versions of those - no problem!

How does that saying go..."Yes, please!"

You know what I gotta agree with Shadow Kid a bit here. RJ doesn't do much for me. If the Legion need a father figure maybe Mon-El himself?

Or Comet Man guy himself? RJ seems not too cool anymore.

We'd love to see those whenever you want to share them with us. It makes sense that the company doesn't want too much of anything to get out in advance, they're in it for the money after all. Anything posted anywhere gets spread across the net at an amazing speed.

You raised an interesting point, I think it would be some real fanboy fun to be able to compare your pencils to the inked product. There are comics that I though were horrible when they were in print but when I saw the original pencils they were beautiful. Vice versa too, sometimes the only thing that saves a comic is the inker. It's really cool to see the actual work straight from the artist's hand.


If you feel the need to post them we have the need to see them. We're funny that way.

No worries, Barry. I have to say I like the redesigned Legion logo a lot.

And thanks, LL! You did a beautiful job.

Off topic, but did you get the Legion Companion YK? Biggest surprise for me was seeing Jimmy Janes' artwork uninked. Great stuff. Many of the inkers he was paired with did him little favour.

Wow. You beat me to that. Jimmy Janes' pencils rocked! It's amazing how bad those inkers must have been. Sheesh!

I wish Janes were registered here. I'd love a chance to apologize to him.

I was just terrrible to Janes at teh time, fairly demanding his immediate removal from teh book. I think I even wrote a few letters to DC.

But having seen those pencils, it is clear Janes' work was plenty faboo.

I wonder what he does these days? I recall a year or so ago he was selling some of his original Legion artwork on ebay, including some unused covers.

No, I never bought the Companion. I'm sorry now that I didn't get a chance to see those pencils.
Not being much of a gamer I never bought the Mayfair Sourcebook either.
Except for Who's Who I've try to get every appearance I can but those weren't "official" so I skipped 'em. Pity.

Anybody got a scan of those Janes pencils? I've made several comments about hating his run as Legion artist so I'd like to see if I need to order some humble pie for dessert when I eat Crow.

God what a pity, you mean that Reflecto story could have looked really good instead of being such a mediocre snooze fest?

Yellow Kid, I so agree with you. When I first saw Coipel's work on Legion of the Damned, I thought the poor guy needed to go back to art school. Later, I saw posts of his original pencils and I was dumb-struck. The work was absolutely beautiful. It was the inking that made the book so difficult for me to look at.

Wow, Barry! I've been away for a while (busy-bee here), but those B/W covers are bootiful! (Can my enthusiasm for the new series grow anymore? YES).

(Hmm... wish someone would have made this graemlin with SHADES!)

Have a great day!

i dont knwo why but im getting a dredstar vibe

Dreadstar? How so?
I followed Starlin for a long time and devoured every Dreadstar story as they came out. I'm not sure what you're seeing that makes a comparison.
Interesting though. Jump in to the discussion.

Oh, and welcome aboard.

Can my enthusiasm for the new series grow? No. What doesn't exist can't grow.

The rest of us will nevertheless continue to enjoy ourselves, with little regard to your lack of enthusiasm.

I scanned this whole thread and couldn't find the answer to the following question: "Who asked you?"

I'm usually all for expression of opinions, but this smacks of being negativity for negativity's sake.

We all have to agree that the new legion will be sweet

It's definitely looking that way, M-E Lad.
