Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Justice League 3000

I bet that's one memory you wouldn't mind erasing again

Update:
JL3K #9 was released the first week of August. It contained two abbreviated stories (either one of which could have easily been expanded into a full issue) drawn by two different artists.
There will be no JL3K issue in September.
JL3K #10 is scheduled for release October 1st.
The Justice League 3000 The Graphic Novel will be released October 15th, containing issues 1-through-10. (Why buy issue #10?)
There is no cover preview for JLA3K #10 on the DC website, and no preview of JLA3K #11 at all as of this date.

Draw your own conclusions.

JL3K sucked so much that issue 11 collapsed into itself to form a black hole?

Well, Rich Johnston made claims about something to happen in JL3k #12 just yesterday...

(Granted, what you say does sound like a quiet cancellation, but JMDM and Porter appear to be twitting on about later issues too.)

Yikes! That looks terrible.

Is Superman supposed to be like pre-Geoff Johns Kon-El and hates to be called Superman?

I wish the art wasn't so good. It seems like a waste.

Well, color me ignorant and embarrassed. DC lets the writers and artists advertise their own books.

I can only hope it's not the clueless Bwah-ha-ha idiots that they bring back. The duo from the earlier issues of that run (before it went bwah ha ha) were better. Their solo series characters were better still.

It's going to be great seeing Maguire draw them again though. Oh no wait...

Oh well, it'll be nice to SEE Beetle and Booster again, at least.

Booster Gold is a 25th-century Earthman who uses 31st-century technology in the 21st century. Specifically, he uses Legion technology—a flight ring and Brainiac-5 force-shield belt. Now he will be extant in the 31st-century… only this is a 31st-century where the Legion never existed, and is, in fact, irreconcilable with Legion history.

Ted Kord is unquestionably dead in the 21st century, otherwise there could be no Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle.

Sounds like a job for Lame-Retcon Lad and his pal, Have-Your-Cake-And-Eat-It-Too Kid.

Business as usual in the comics.

(And why do they need a glacier? Booster Gold has a Time Machine.)

So, apparently it's confirmed that JL#3000 is not the future of the DCnU, but of an Earth that closely resembles the pre-new 52 DCU, but apparently diverges from that continuity prior to Infinite Crisis.

Given the attempts currently going on to re-kindle the Legion - the two page ad for JLU Annual - then obviously DC had to reconcile the two groups somehow. Shunting JL3K into Morrison's Multiversity works for me.

Oh, I doubt it is because of any Warner-love for the Legion, or any desire for DC to "reconcile" anything.

I rather suppose it is an expression of Giffen's indomitable will.

I don't see the world Giffen portrays as having any place in Morrison's "Multiversity" per se. There are only 52 worlds after all, and I believe all of them have been either defined or destroyed.

Rather, the Giffen/JL3K Universe seems to exist in its own, separate Multiverse-- which means we need a new Laniakea to describe the DC storyweb.

Cosmoverse? Ultraverse? Omniverse?

If the reports of the titles that survive June's Purge/mini-relaunch are correct, JL3000 is done:

Yeah!!!

All of the recent cancellations suggest that DC doesn't believe in keeping any title long term anymore. Gone are the days of celebrating issue #300 of this title or that. Now, they just won't last that long before DC editorial decides they want to replace them with something new.

Hmm, well the other shoe has dropped. DC is removing JL3000, only to replace it with..... Justice League 3001!

(Not joking).

No new Legion of Super-Heroes title. Bummer. Unless the Legion takes over the Justice League United title somehow...

Maybe it is better that the Legion doesn't get a new title. That way DC won't cancel it again within a couple of issues to replace it with the next new idea.

I just want to say, I hate Justice League 3000 - 3001.

Me too, Sue Pergirl, me too.

Disgraceful.

I hate Giffen, with all my heart.

So do I.

Cheers, Emerald Empress.

I was only buying this book because of the pre-Flashpoint connections, but now...

There may be only me and Keith Giffen's mom who like JL3000/3001. I disliked it at first, but once I accepted it has nothing to do with the Legion, I began to enjoy it. It reminds me of a Mad Magazine satire on superhero comics combined with the sort of double-issue Adventure era story that Jim Shooter wrote, with everything and everybody in it, and nothing had to make a whole lot of sense. By the time it ends, every character in the DCU should have made an appearance.

Not top of the hit list, but I'm still buying it.

Well, look at it this way - it never tied into the "pre-Flashpoint" (post-Infinite Crisis) DCU. It tied into Giffen/DeMatteis "Superbuddies" stories in "Formerly Known As..." and "I Can't Believe It's Not the Justice League".

Now, if you actually go back and look at those... they didn't tie in AT ALL to what was actually going on in the DCU at the time. Moreover, this is predicated on Blue Beetle never being shot in the head by Max Lord, which means we're not even looking at the pre-Infinite Crisis DCU (since Ted was shot in the head before that), and the previous continuity reboot was... Superman #200, I think. Which was BEFORE Jeph Loeb introduced his version of Supergirl...

[Not to mention Guy's yellow ring, which hadn't been his status since before Morrison's JLA revamp. Or the handwaving of what had happened to Max Lord in the post-Giffen/DeM JLI...]


I looked in again at JL3001 #1 because of SP, EE & FL's posts. And they're being utterly ridiculous, frankly. What, exactly, makes JL300X using Supergirl so ridiculously objectionable, exactly?
