I actually kind ot think the best thing to happen to the industry might be for mainstream super-hero comics to just implode, ala the end of WW2, and other genres/companies to step into the void. Then, in another ten years or so we can have a really cool super-hero revival like the Silver Age!

At its best, shouldn't the Legion be the perfect bridge between the two? If I were to write it, that's what I'D do.

Yeah, they could retool the Legion to fit in with the now popular stuff, kind of like how Green Lantern and Johnny Quick became largely humor features after super-hero comics fell out of favor!

Bring back Jimenez! While a monthly seems out of his grasp, maybe have him alternate with Gene Ha. Imagine the craziness of Ha's Top Ten art brought to the Legion.

If Portela is off Legion too, then you know Legion has been cancelled. I hope Levitz is able to wrap up his current storyline before the final issue.

Is Animal Man that much more popular than the Legion? Mr. Portela may be leaving just because DC likes to move artists who become popular off the Legion to other pastures. That's just tradition.

In contrast, Charlie Adlard (and of course writer Robert Kirkman) have completed 108 consecutive monthly issues of The Walking Dead for Image Comics and they are still going strong.

My choices for next full-time Legion artist: Jan Duursema, Chris Batista, Sketch Lad (not necessarily in any order)

The owner at my local Comic Book Store tells me there is a major DC event called Multiverse on the way, and that the Legion has a prominent role in it. What's the poop on this and when is it supposed to happen? Before September?

Multiversity is Morrison's sequel to Final Crisis. And has been in the works for at least that long (he finished writing it yoinks ago).

He can draw our developing LSHTNG story line!

Uh... Batista had nothing to do with those covers - the only The Legion cover he did was #33. Those covers were by Tom Feister and Tony Harris.

(And they're really not watercolour. They even did a walkthrough of the #19 - B5 - cover on their site to prove it...)


My views are my own and do not reflect those of everyone else... and I wouldn't have it any other way.

The guys I really want - more stylized - and the guys I think would make the Legion popular are different I think.

Right now, at DC, I think the best possible fit is Kenneth Rocaforte. He's stylized, kinetic, youthful characters, good storyteller, impeccable design sense and space vista creation.

I'd love to see a number of others, too, but I think he gives a sort of sense of a futuristic look with his artwork.

Also, for whoever was asking for water color; Check out Christian Ward's Infinite Vacation artwork.

I actually did that with the first nine Keith Giffen covers of the the 5-Year Gap era run when I was in a sort of pre-law program in Saskatoon. Heh. I was the only person in the province of Saskatchewan with those covers up on his dorm wall [/i]and[i] a Toronto Transit Commission route map on his door. smile

Anyway, needless to say, I hope that the LSH survives and thrives in the days to come.

Oh, yeah, and I agree that Batista would be a great choice for new LSH artist. Or Mike McKone--he's great, too.

He was actually announced as the alternate artist for The Legion (i.e., doing every other arc or so to let Coipel get ahead), but then he was offered Exiles at Marvel and split, so the only Legion story he did in the end was the Legion Worlds #6 backup.

Thanks for that. I wondered why they were so much better. wink


I didn't mean to say they were actually watercolor.

Apparently the new artist is somebody called Jeff Johnson.

But I have no idea who that is.

WOW... there's a name I'd long forgotten. I really enjoyed his WONDER MAN *way* back in the day.

A shame about DC ignoring Chris Batista, who both loves the LSH and is wide open to a steady gig. I love that guy, he's a total hoot on the Facialbook.

[Linked Image from somebodydptest.files.wordpress.com] Doesn't that rather assume LSH *is* a steady gig these days?

Rebootsy Collins (your new nickname copyright MLLASH Inc), I didn't want to go there because I know I've totally been Miss Theresa Tits-Up about the LSH (and DC in general) lately, but... yeah.

LSH is over before the end of the year and it may be over for a long while, and we all need to get ready for that.
