Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Bits o' Legionnaire Business "Death of a Legionnaire" -- LSH fan comic (DrakeB3004)

Best Legion comic I've read in years, thanks for sharing that... and hurry up and make lots more.

How am I just finding this thread?

Great comic, Drake! With amazing art as always!

I especially loved the orange-skinned, yellow-domed, hate-filled villain!

Nice subtle redesign on some of the costumes too. I think you did a great job on keeping the Luornu's distinct, but not too distinct, with that little symbol change.

Is your comic set during any particular period? Or have you created your own continuity?

Since this is just for fun, I decided to take liberties with the continuity. I'm imagining it as roughly during the Baxter era, but with some continuity changes - mostly so I can shoe-horn in other characters from later incarnations. (like Laurel)

Thanks for the nice words guys - I am trying to get another installment out soon, but spare time is tough to find lately...

Thanks for bumping this up so that I could see it. Great work! I love it and hope you get the time to create some more.

A few more pages ... I plan to post in smaller installments so there's not as much lagtime between.

That's it for now, but I'm pretty far in on the next posting so, fingers crossed..... and now, I can finally focus on cooking Thanksgiving dinner.

Hey Drake, this is ace!

I'm on the bus home after a very long day so will be quick. Love the opening double page spread - some great Easter eggs in the crowd, time trapper, hateface, Celeste, Nightwind, sensor, etc. Very cool. Also love power lass rather than monstress as I never understood a team that stands for championing diversity agreeing to that name.
Nice use of Tyroc, loved the two media talking heads giving different pov's, nice cameo by Rokk and Lydda's, and Lyle and Condo in the background. Brainy being conflicted over Laurel was sweet, and Mon talking about his emotions was a surprising treat.

My stop soon, gotta go. This is great.

More, more, more

And Dr mayvale! Hah!

Omigosh!

That crowd scene is fun!

Sneckie! Zymyr? Ben Pares? Calamity King! A Durlan! Spider-Girl? Dragonwing! Dr. Mayavale! Hate-Face!!!

I love your lineup! Gates, Dragonmagee, Kinetix, Monstress as Power Lass, and XS and Kid Quantum and Tyroc joining the classic lineup!

Tyroc has a great new costume

Nice Easter eggs, including Lyle and Condo among the retired Legion couples

LOLed at the realistic reactions from people on social media, including the reactions that mirror what some Legion fans say

Your Laurel Kent is snippy, interesting

Is that the Diva from Fifth Element in the crowd?

Yep! You guys have picked up almost all of the characters I snuck in there. Thanks again for the kind words! I will try to get more out soon. (Hopefully... :))

Ohmigosh! I totally missed her! I love Diva Plavalaguna. Her little concert was one of my favorite parts of that movie. (And I still have her song on my regular playlist!)

Since you used question marks for some, I will guess you weren't sure:
-- Not Zymyr, just someone of his race
-- YES to Ben Pares - I always liked him and wished he would have popped up again!
-- Yes to Spider-Girl, though I supposed she's "Wave" with the blue hair
And the rest were on the money.

Continuing to knock it out of the park!

Thanks so very, very much for these, I really miss the Legion these days. You should make many more much faster.

Thanks! And believe me, if I didn't have a day job and a marriage to attend to I'd be on this 24/7. This is already mostly what I do during my spare time. Doing this actually satisfies some of my own frustration at not having any quality Legion books to read right now. One of my biggest regrets about not being able to get this out faster is that some of the things I have planned out I'm already seeing in other places and now it'll seem like I'm ripping them off!.... I guess there's only so much originality to go around.

In terms of the crowd scene, I wasn't expecting people to get non-Legion characters like Dekko, ("Zot!") Meico ("Alien Legion") or Princess Ariel and Ookla the Mok ("Thundarr the Barbarian") but I'm surprised nobody mentioned Arm Fall-Off Boy! I guess when he's not pulling of his limb he's not so noticeable...

More pages soon (soon-ish....) wherein the real threat reveals itself!

That's it for now...

Bloody hell! I didn't see that coming!

Another great section of your story (and others, just spotted the credits, well done to all) that included just about everything a fan could ask for - new Legionnaires, allies helping out, a mystery villain, computo/baby Validus, humour, passion... oh, and the death of a Legionnaire!

Splendid stuff Drake and everyone else involved.

Am looking forward to seeing where you go next with this, how Atmos fits into it and whether or not Jo is really gone.

More, more, more!
