Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Future State: Legion of Super-Heroes, by Brian Michael Bendis and Riley Rossmo

I thought there were plenty of things to like about the threeboot, especially in the beginning. With Bendis's run... well, I keep feeling like I'm trying to latch on to something positive to convince myself that I'm liking it, but at the end of the day, there's just a lot more negative than positive about it.

No worries Emily, what you said was fine and I am sorry if my response came across at all aggressive. Not my intention.

I pretty much agree with you about different tastes and that being a good thing. I'm glad Threeboot worked so well for you and as I said I liked it too, collecting it right through to the end even if I felt much of the best had faded by then. I was actually disappointed when the Retroboot Legion started making an appearance while also finding it intriguing. It seemed to me that Johns was intent on restoring the entire DC Universe to where it was in the Bronze Age with Barry Allen, Hal Jordan and now the pre-Zero Hour Legion brought back. Still I enjoyed a lot of the elements he added to it.

I guess that's the point. New can be good and I like to see development and change in our characters. It's why I am a fan of 5YL. For that matter the character developmetn in the Levitz era is stilll much of what fans speak fo admiringly and character development cannot happen without change.

On a side note I have been enjoying the Start Trek show Discovery and don't mind the changes it is making and it's different tone to the Original Series and to the TNG/DS9/VOY period. I was watching a review during the First Season and the guy suddenly stopped, scribbled hair and beards on to the images of the Klingons and said "Aaah that feels much better!" I thought it was hilarious.

As others have said new can be good. I'm just a bit disappointed in the current new so far, not because it is different but because it just doesn't seem very good.

That leaves me in the quandry, do I support the current series because having some Legion is better than nothing or do I drop my support because it just doesn't appeal to me that much and then risk DC interpreting a lack of sales as a lack of support for any Legion? At the moment I am in the hang in there camp because every title has it's periods of lesser well written and can then still come out thriving. We'll see.

Bendis posted another update on his Instagram. A cast picture.



This is the description:

This has officially skyrocketed past horrifying into hilarious to me.

I gagged at that.

So much for my hope that these were the opponents of the Legion.

I DON'T LIYKE IT

It's been a few hours, and I can now confidentely say that nothing will ever be as funny as what appears to be Querl's disembodied head in a dragon mech.

Every time I think I'm over it I see it again and the laughing starts all over.

I'm looking forward to it, if only to find out if Bendis can really complete a story within two issues. And the art looks great.

Was Hyperbole Lad in one of the Legion group shots along with Entropy (Mano in disguise) Lad and Radial Tyre boy? It moved quickly from marketing into desperate pleading for readers to buy it.

All I know is Diameter Lass is twice the Legionnaire than Radius Boy.

Their cousin Area Lad is quite the square. Though I also hear he's kind of irrational.

I hear their arch enemy is Angle Man.

That's a very sharp observation.

Diameter Lass is greatly feared by the Dark Circle!

And then there's Acute Lass who gets tired of explaining that her name is not 'A Cute Lass.' But her brother, Obtuse Lad, really lives up to his name. Ugh, that guy.

Thanks for making me smile everyone.

I've edited a bigger photo above and removed the spoiler tag.

Here's a Riley Rossmo post that I was going to add as well-

On topic, I think I've finally found an issue of the Legion of Super-Heroes that I'm not going to buy.

Damn, but everyone forgot about poor Sir Cumference

Tee hee

I GUESS I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO GOT AROUND TO MENTIONING HIM

We would've circled back to him eventually.

Well that's a roundabout way of doing things

Yeah, it's definitely protracted.
