Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Re-Reading the Legion: Conjure reads the reboot!

The camaraderie and optimism of youth has definitely been a major seling point of the Legion since its inception, and the Adventure Wra also had quite a bit of it. The Threeboot... well, they were young but that's pretty much it

Since the Legion has had more boots than the rest of the DCU, it's no surprise that it's a couple of boots ahead.

Does that mean you like the DCnU also?

As much as I disliked "The Legion" to the point of almost dropping it several times, I was disappointed to see it end, mostly because I thought as a whole the property could have been salvaged quite easily. None of the problems brought in by DnA couldn't have been resolved or turned around with a new writer and some imagination (that Keith Champagne issue before the end was great). It was still never "my" Legion, but I grew quite fond of it.

Overall?

I could take it or leave it. With the exception of only a couple of titles (I like Earth-2 and Green lantern was relatively unchanged by "Flashpoint"), I don't really see that any of the changes have tipped the scale one way or the other. In fact, with the scrambled salad of continuity, it probably made things (initially, at least) worse than before.

The worst thing about reboots is that they throw everything that happened before under the rug. It's hard to get emotionally attached to the characters if you know they can be erased after the next big event...

I think we should have a "Conjure Lass reads Justice League 3000" thread.

What has Conjure lass ever done to you to deserve that!

lol

ah but ... the Justice League 3000 has done a lot to deserve that!


>)

I can't even type Justice League 3000 without feeling a bit silly.

I'm surprised they didn't call it Justice League Interstellar, given the creative team.

This is just adding insult to injury.

We'll always have our back issues...

They had hundreds of other centuries to write about, seems less than creative to muddy up the Legion's.

I demand more posts from Conjure Lass about her adventures reading the Reboot!!

You got it IB! I've been so busy with school I've hardly had time to do anything but read philosophy books! XD!!

OH, AND I AM TOTALLY DOING A "CONJURE READS JUSTICE LEAGUE 3000" THREAD. TOTALLY.

Yay!!! I can't wait for more insightful reviews from you. Discussing the Postboot Legion is always a pleasure, and I didn't want to start a new thread since you've got this great one going on.



Well, someone's gotta do it!

Exactly. I mean, there's absolutely no reason i'm going to read it other than to MST3K the shit out of it. I will be surprised if I like it. But it'll be a laugh to read, anyway.

It'll also be fun (in a masochistic sort of way) to imagine how the Legion would trounce those silly JLA3000 members at their own game. (Hah! if Brainy and Lyle had been on that mission they'd have figured it out already! Shame, Batman3000!)
