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

I knew it! your brilliant clues pointed to Legionnaires being transformed somehow... Jo's not dead, he's transformed...

goodness! Gim as a vessel for Omega... this is really raising the stakes! Will Imra be in time...?

Wow. I can't wait to see how this all plays out. Great job!

Linking Omega and the Red Lanterns in a story is genius!

Also, those Saturn Girl panels are perfect, and I'm pretty excited about classic Gim getting a plot thrown his way that isn't about Yera or his mother (although to be fair, I am guilty of going to that well with him)

More great posts Drake. Totally loving Brainy's cool certainty that Omega will return properly. I wonder what your plans are for Yera?

Also, as this is called the Death of a Legionnaire I'm wondering who will die? Brainy seems like the obvious choice, but am waiting with baited breath to find out who it will be (and how).

Looking forward to more, more., more.

Yeesh, can't believe it's been a year since I posted. I've recently been able to rededicate myself to working on this again, so hopefully it won't be so long before I can post the next few pages.

Oh good! I was afraid that you weren't able to complete this! This is great!

Sweet, glad to see more!

Hehe, "batshit crazy".

Love how smart and clever Imra is being, questioning everything, including how COMPUTO got those vids...

I like Kid Q taking charge, after all she's the away team leader. go Jaz!

Brilliant, having the miracle machine be a hoax!

nice reference to Rond and Laurel, and I like that you had Rond and Dev exit - more focus on the Legionnaires, then. (still eager/worried to see what happened to Ultra Boy and Kinetix, for example!)

ah, thank you! I even commented on it before, must have forgot thanks for the refresh!

Oh no!

Thanks for getting back to this.

Perfect way to deal with the Lanterns - acknowledge their presence but don't try to fold them into the Legion. Rond looks great!

Miracle Machine was a hoax - made me laugh. Not a total hoax, there was some power in there that Brainy could use. What a conspiracy! What else do the Lanterns know?

So pleased that you continue to work on this project!

Funny you should ask ... but what's not funny is that I plan to pick up on it much later in the story.

Also, thanks everyone for the nice words! I always know my next installments will be read and appreciated here. Btw, I am so glad to finally use that drawing of the Miracle Machine I first posted here in one of the Bits Galleries years ago - I always knew it was going to be on this page of my story, it just took that long for me to finally use it!!

Hi Drake, I am excited to see more updates on this story!

I just read this whole thing from the start, as I finally have a decent size screen to be able to appreciate it - some random thoughts coming up, sorry if some of these are repeated from when you first posted

- the scene with the newbies being sworn in had so much detail! I really love all the different aliens in the crowd and I forgot about the surprise Dr Mayavale cameo so I got to be amused all over again!

- omg I love Lydda's Betty Page hair....I love the beehive too much to get rid of it myself but if I ever did, that would be her new hair for sure!

- I love your Dev-Em, he really comes across as the hot rogue type

- Five Minutes Later remains amazing! (I also like your subsequent adoption of that for all the other time jump scenes)

- that panel with the Red Lantern Corps behind Rond was really well done! I love the detail!

- XS's trademark talking a million miles a second is excellent - I dig her new hairstyle too!

- the Ysmault splash was really detailed as well!

- that one close-up of Gim's face in Brainy's machine is so well done! It reminds me of Stuart Immonen's Legion days tbh!

- something about Imra using the phrase "batshit crazy" cracks me up, like things have to be REALLY bad to get Imra to cuss

- okay I am IN LOVE with that anglerfish Green Lantern, I demand a mini-series at the very least! Sharkfin mohawk GL is pretty cool too!

- also I don't think I have mentioned this previously, having the Miracle Machine be a bunch of different Lantern Corps rings working in unison is such an awesome idea! It's a nice way to reference the DCU in general without explicitly tying any of this into real world current GL continuity

- something I just noticed this time around because I've finally got a decent size screen to look at it; I like how you draw body language - it seems like there's never a lazy pose used here, you always put thought into how each character would actually present themselves.

All up, this is a great love letter to the Legion and I am really enjoying it! Looking forward to seeing where this goes next!

Hey Drake, so sorry I missed the latest sections when you first posted them.

You are a master of adding so much story and ideas in just a couple of posts - Computo's nexus is a great idea and looks stunning, the Miracle Machines reveal gave me a laugh - love how casual Rond was about telling the team that the Controllers are not as omnipotent as they thought and the machine is a sham, also great cliffhanger - guess the plan is out the window now then.

Tremendous stuff Drake, you continue to impress!

Looking forward to more, more, more!

Wow. Powerful stuff. Thanks for the update, Drake. Keep up the good work.

Drake this is awesome.

I'm really glad to be reading this now. I feel like I'm reading and seeing characters I know and care about.
