Nice seeing all the Legion content, including a significant appearance by a fave underused villain, but the story itself felt like a watered down combination of COIE/Zero Hour. Not much new here. Still, a fun grouping of characters.
That's pretty much how I felt about it too. Dan Jurgens is not really good on the subtle, and the big events he has written lately seem a bit too ... simplistic? ... to me. Would have been nice to drag out who the mystery villain was but I guess that wouldn't have fit the publication plan. Still it was nice to see the old Legion again.
even if the lineup was a bit weird. It looked like the peak Levitz period but as well as including Sensor Girl it also has Ferro Lad, Chemical King and both Invisible Kids. Still I guess it doesn't matter since that timeline was destroyed anyway.
Wow! The lineup of The Legion in Generatios Shattered is the ideal! So sad, this timeline was destroyed... I hope this version returns in some way... Because is fantastic!
Yes I did enjoy the lineup. My only personal disappointment is the lack of Tellus and Quislet. The only non-humanoid on the team is Blok and to a lesser extent Cham.
It's comforting to see the classic Legion kept alive (in terms of publishing), even if it's not the classic lineup. It keeps the door open for tales from another timeline.
In one of the latest Goosebumps books by R.L. Stine, the main character mentions his favorite superhero is Double-Header. He has two heads, one good and one evil. He "might be the first superhero ever with two heads."
You think there might be a chance to see some lost Legion stories?
The original Legion Headquarters Secret Origin featured Superboy before editorial pulled it. Secret Origins the series also had a few individual members like Mon-El lined up before it was cancelled. And other than the lost Jim Starlin pages (which I don't think DC has access to), I can't think of any other Legion stories that could be featured.
Steve Lightle had created a Legionnaire series, but not sure any issues were produced for it other than just the pitch. There was supposed to be a Legion of Super-Heroes: The Beginning series before we got "Legionnaires," so maybe there was an issue of that produced before they switched gears?
Future State: Immortal Wonder Woman shows the Future State Legion's fate -
Uh. Did this just reveal who the person with the S-crest is ahead of next week's issue?
The El woman in front seems to resemble Kara, but it doesn't fit with what we know of Kara in the other Future State titles, so...
edit: Wait, it seems the helmted s-crested character is actually floating in the background there. Still feels like a huge spoiler to reveal the two people up front though.
So not a whole lot of Legion content in Generations Forged, but it's got a rather curious portrayal of Nemesis Kid's power.
I'm not going to try to make any sense one the take on continuity presented in this new Linearverse or whatever, because even if I could make sense of it, I doubt it's really going to affect much of anything.
