It’s Wednesday, so let’s discuss everyone’s favorite intangible gal, Phantom Girl! And if there’s time her friends in the Legion of Superheroes.

So what at some good stand alone arcs for Phantom Girl from any legion era?
Jaxon Evans
Michael Smith
Lincoln Kelly
I like LoSH and have enjoyed these threads but was making this overnight a good idea? Will be kind of embarrassing if you have to make another
Justin Hall
Triplicate Girl is a fetish machine and I love her.
Noah Parker
I did probably jump the gun a bit, but as it survived overnight overnight before I thought it could handle it
Ryder Williams
Isaiah Wright
It probably can
Luis Bell
So with the announcement of Superman ‘78 do you think the Legion will make an appearance? I’d be very interested in seeing that continuities version of them
William Scott
Damn mother fucker. I mean yeah I love these threads but I was hoping to have one of the requests done for the afternoon like usual. I gotta sleep now. Please thread live till I’m up.
I guess y’all talk about lore and which character is the most sporkable.
Kevin Lopez
I hope so since they are or should be a integral and important part of Sups life and childhood. But how weird DC’s been handling the team, at best they’ll just be voiceless cameos.
Nolan White
Take your time mate, the thread will most likely still be here later today
Oliver Morales
Yeah with how dc currently is they have been super cagey with the Legion property. My one fear is that instead of a Legion reflective of the 70s and Reeve Superman they will somehow try to make it a version of Bendis Legion
Grayson Williams
Thanks, here's a mem doodle from yesterday. Night' and have fun guys!

>somehow try to make it a version of Bendis Legion
Nah, and while a legit fear to have though, I kinda see DC is trying to set up the stages to move past them now.
Charles Morales
DC really should have just shoved him to Barbara Gordon or something. Fuck them for letting him let loose so much havoc.
Lucas Martinez
Bouncing Boy is truest the luckiest member of the legion
Jaxson Long
Considering the book is seemingly cancelled and Bendis is doing his “I have plans for more stories but am taking a break” cover story, I hope you’re right
Robert Thomas
You know I genuinely wanted to like Bendis Losh so much. We’ve had many reboots of different cartoons out recently that had made radical changes to the characters completely like She-Ra and TMNT rise. I myself saw them as very off putting when they where first shown, but I gave them a chance anyway and surprisingly they became my favorite shows to watch this past two hard years. So my thinking going to Bendis Losh hoping I would get this mind opening experience but nope. He literally doesn’t take the time or effort to world build or strongly characterize anyone like those shows I mention do. This whole run was just felt like a strange ad lib, again the Bendis boot could’ve been so much more than it was. It’s so unfortunate he didn’t really give a shit.
Landon Russell
Bendis only has two main goals in his comics piss off fans and create legacy characters that he can get residuals for and hopefully they’ll be used in media adaptions. Also the book was made clearly to just justify aging Jon up when kon exists
Nolan Kelly
Oliver Perry
You make good sense of this, but I’m still puzzled as to why DC allowed him to handle this so poorly. Like really? A big new reboot gets canceled in 12 issues from the so called superstar writer and you don’t see this as embarrassing?
Cooper Wilson
Man, to be a Kara/Querl fan, that ship will always be as implausible as any gay Losh pairing. It’s hurts so much.
Lincoln Evans
There's more to the question of why they paid him the fat exclusive contract? I would have had him write some mini-series as a free lancer to see if he still had anything left in the tank/was a sales draw before I ever gave him the massive contract. Fucking crony hacks.
Xavier Ross
Bendis in his contract for the Superman books had a deal for an omnibus run with a certain amount of issues he needed to fulfill, and considering his run has been hemorrhaging sales editorial probably figured giving him Legion would fill that obligation and get him off the books faster.
So it was a short term loss for the net gain of getting rid of him faster
Carter Walker
Pick five of your favorite legionnaires.
Mine personally are,
>Saturn Girl
>Lightning Lad
>Timber Wolf
>Sensor Girl
>Brainy
Benjamin Rivera
Querl having a hard on for anyone with an S on their chest is in character though
Luis Hernandez
They didn’t even need to see via minis, the guy was losing sales at Marvel at that point and just switching to dc wasn’t going to change that fact
Jayden Parker
Oh god that so lame, but I guess if Losh just HAD to take the bullet to get rid of him, then I’ll accept it.
Jace Adams
Triplicate Girl
Karate Kid
Star Boy
Cosmic Boy
Dream Girl
Christopher Barnes
True, but it’s a relationship that could yield a interesting legacy character if done right.
Alexander Stewart
user i dont know where you live but its 4am in eastern burger land
so what the fuck
Jackson Sanders
Well if he came to you in freelance with a genuinely brilliant pitch it couldn't hurt to see what happens. Sometimes a change of scenery can help a creative, and new positive creative relationships could form between editorial and him. Doing a mini would show you that he is toast before you handed him a few mil to tank the Superman line.
Owen Wood
It was right around the time Didio got cocky and wanted to fuck with marvel, He convinced Bendis to come to DC and created a bunch of new books that were literally just Marvel book rip offs. Unfortunately it blew up in his face as that line of comics pretty much was dead on arrival (sans three books) and Bendis was not worth the price tag they paid for him
Wyatt Scott
Cameron Sanders
>Didio
Even from the “grave” that dude mistakes haunts us all. But back on a lighter topic. What’s a personal AU interpretation of what you want a legion to be like?
Levi Sanders
it's 3:30am in whataburger land and my power's out, so I'm gonna shitpost till im warm again.
Carter White
I think it could be fun to have a legion series that alternates between teen adventures with superboy with a more lighthearted adventure tone in the style of like Tom Strong, and then adult adventures without Superboy (with some occasional Superman cameos ofc) done more in the style of the Stormwatch or Top 10. I think it could be fun to have the back to back issues use the same villain in the 2 different time periods.
Caleb Fisher
Jackson Campbell
Reminder that Tinya is a core member of the Espionage Squad.
>tfw you realize that her intrusions aren't just a character quirk, but an attempt to get info wherever she can
Adam Adams
>keep the boob cutouts
>get rid of the pigtails and bellbottoms
Mere words cannot express my disdain for LaRoque's choices here.
Elijah Hernandez
I’d love to see an ongoing with these 4 going on crazy spy adventures
Isaiah Lopez
I want more focus on the expansionist mindset (sorta like Star Trek). The legion now represents a symbol for unity instead of a elite club (but it can start out that way until the founders start to expand the membership) and technically anyone can actually be a legionnaire. I guess to really get into the circle of 30 you have to pass trial tryouts. Have them inspire and share optimism across the galaxy.
Of course to prevent this from sounding like a all too happy future, present subtle elements of dystopia, corrupt governments and industries literally in control over entire worlds, xeno terrorists and space gangsters fucking shit up, and then you have a imposter legion calling themselves the “Vanguard” wanting to revolutionize the galaxy to contrast the legion’s pacifist ways.
Eli Sanders
I’m not sure if this is exactly what you’re asking but I would love for them to make an imprint line of the Legion with some different variety team books to let different characters shine
>Main Legion Title
Main book and would be the straight forward Legion team book we usually get
>Legion Espionage Team
Cham heads the spy network wing of the legion and we see crazy spy hijinks
>Legion Lost
A Group of Legionnaires gets stuck in the present and has to team up with Booster Gold and Rip Hunter to figure out how to get back and protect the time stream
>L.E.G.I.O.N.
Querl discovers some fuckup by Vril and now has to assemble a strike force team to deal with the ramifications of it
>Legion of Substitute Heroes
The rejects finally have a book to call their own
>solo ongoings or minis to let individual characters get a spotlight
Grayson Richardson
Totally pretty much what you assume I meant. And god what I wouldn’t give for a huge x-men style imprint for LoSH.
Noah Roberts
Already a comfy thread

#MakeLegionCoom-BaitAgain
Henry Phillips
Tasmia isn't coombait. Well, not as a character. She's sexy, but it's because she's from a warrior culture who DGAF.
Robert Lewis
That’s correct, plus she comes from a matriarchy planet of strong blue warrior ladies like her. Pic related not ain’t her BUT I really would dig if she had a redesign like this.
Eli Baker
The Legion could legit have their own imprint. There's so many of them, and their setting is literally the DCU in a thousand years, there's a lot you could do there. Aquaman's Trident, for example. Having various present day stuff that's familiar to us being ancient artifacts in the 31st century that have some value was the germ of a good idea.
Granted, taken in the wrong direction, this hypothetical imprint could easily devolve into "X, but Sci Fi". Sure, some of that would be fine, but having it be just DC 2099 would be a mistake.
Kevin Moore
Shadow booba
Jonathan Davis
She's also a badass.
Xavier Allen
Would any of you actually consider a non-binary legionnaire? HARDMODE: it’s can’t be a full on faceless shapeshifter alien
Brayden Lopez
>make it the next Invisible Kid kek
Although even Jim Shooter almost considered the idea for threeboot
David Baker
Connor Brooks
Tasmia is possibly one of the few Legionnaires who has never had a straight up bad design.
Juan Parker
>Oh ho ho ho ho he forgot or doesn’t know
I’m afraid best girl had a bad design once my user.
Caleb Torres
Yo, Buff or flesh out the powerset of a legionaire you think is lacking.
Tasmia's darkness shouldn't just block light but every thing except tasmia own senses. A fuck you blind zone. an effective heat dissipator, a strong sound muffller, sensors , communication and psychics. Have her be the be all and end all to communication and surveillance. With some added torture potential with frezing people to death. The solid state darkness thing is a bit too green lanterny.
Lightning twins ought to have not been attacked by the lightning beasts but to have lived with them for a year whilst young and stranded. Eat what the lightning beast eats, shit where the lightning beasts shits, sleep in their caves and enjoy their company and eventually the twins develop the same micro-biome the beasts do. Including the symbiotic bacteria that allows them to produce electricity. and hey thats a good way to incorporate their nudist tendencies.
Ethan Evans
Agree completely with what you’re saying about Tasmia. A lot of the Losh characters have these weak power set problems especially the female characters. They really need some added perks to their abilities.
Although the last bit with the Ranzzs is just a bit odd. Like turning them all into the “Tarzans of Lightning beasts” (maybe I can see Mekt pulling that off lol) might be more over complicated compared to just getting shocked and mutated.
I guess if where doing hc theories though >What if they where shocked by the beasts but ended up in fact dying from the ordeal but the Luck lords resurrect them for experimentation, thus gifting them their powers.
Hudson Watson
It only lasted for one story and one picture page tho, so barely counts.
Jason Phillips
Austin Brown
For women AND the Men obviously
Noah King
Lincoln Wright
Reboot thankfully revised her powers so that she can create shadow constructs.
Personaly, I think Luornu could use a bit of a buff. Have her do the Duplicate Lass thing more consistently, so she's a literal one woman army.

Jonathan Thompson
Ethan Murphy
What lesser known or obscure Legion characters would you like to see more of?
Personally I’d love to see them do something with Calamity King, his powerset just seems like it would be fun to write
Dylan James
Kono. Brita's funny and a very different kind of Legionnaire, very much a lovable rogue type. Plus, it'd be a nice opportunity to have the Sklarians be more prominent.
William Morales
She’d be fun to see again
Nolan Campbell
Benjamin Perry
Nathaniel Jones
I love confused “grandma” Linnya Wazzo
Noah Sanders
Linnya's fine, but I'll admit I was hoping she was Tinya stuck in the past. In hindsight, it was probably silly to hope for a Phase thing.
Isaiah Richardson

Cooper Bell
Luke Hughes

David Young
Wyatt Long
LSV or Fatal Five?
Brody Barnes
The Tinyas are on full display here
Oliver Robinson
Personally Fatal Five but I do love Lightning Lord
Luis Campbell
You tards better be hopeful that the investor group that bought DC Comics knows what the LoSH is.
Mason Phillips
Another book I’d love to see is one featuring Garth Ayla and Mekt. Maybe Have it be like a road trip style story where Garth and Ayla are escorting Mekt to a prison planet and chaos ensues
Gavin Rodriguez
It really is her best costume and puts Power Girls boob window to shame
William Johnson
>believing in Rich's clickbait
Michael Gonzalez
Xavier Lopez
Why can’t someone like this chubby chasing sex fiend actually exist
Nathaniel Hernandez
Christopher Clark
user, I promise you that there are plenty of Luornus out there who are chomping at the bit to get a piece of that fat ass.
I always found it interesting that Luorunu is one of the Espionage Squad. She can literally be in three places at once, so it makes sense, but I would like to see more of an emphasis on her infiltration skills.
Benjamin Anderson
If the the LVS where all better written I would say them but currently the fatal five is better.
Zachary Gonzalez
I’m praying too, rumors or not.
Luke Hughes
Why is DC terrified of these two dorks sapphic energy?
William Clark
they're terrified of anything explicit right now
Colton Martin
There's probably a more logical reason for that, but my guess is:
>Male writers like to waifu Ayla a lot, so they force their male self-interests upon her whether the dynamic actually works or not in canon.
>These same writers tend to hate Vi for some reason, I don't think for her sexuality at all and more to do with thinking her powers are just dumb
I'm giving the cartoon show a pass, they obviously are not going to have them be really open lesbians for a kid show in the early 2000s and they were working with breaking legs here because the dumbasses in charge wanted less female characters to appear, thus why Ayla is stuck in loli form.
If they had included her in the cast, Vi and her would probably be nice besties. (I found it so weird Ayla appears in the fatal five movie as Thom's girlfriend instead of Nura.)
Hudson Lewis
Cowardice and salt.
>Male writers like to waifu Ayla a lot, so they force their male self-interests upon her whether the dynamic actually works or not in canon.
Like you said, it's really weird that she was with Thom in the movie instead of her tiny wife. I mean, I get waifuing Ayla, but if you like a character, you just gotta accept when they have a preference.
>These same writers tend to hate Vi for some reason, I don't think for her sexuality at all and more to do with thinking her powers are just dumb
Possibly to do with her character development. She inevitably goes from meek little wallflower to reserved but assertive badass.
Also, if it is about her powers, that's especially dumb. Surely by now we've all got a healthy respect for shrinkers.
Jeremiah Brooks
*broken legs
But yeah it puzzles me too. You think Bendis would be all for pairing his disgusting looking vi with his nu-Ayla for the double black lesbians brownie points uwu
Cooper Evans
What's the required reading for these threads?
Charles Nguyen
Cameron Jackson
What honestly is with this design? Like, we've talked about the stupid Ororo Monroe knockoff thing, but this costume is so fuckin' ugly. This is coming from someone who likes Mass Effect style bodysuits, but this thing is so crammed with unnecessary detailing that it's just unappealing. And of course it's green with weirdly placed purple lines here and there so we can pretend this supposed to be Salu.
Anthony Stewart
This should be updated with Before The Darkness book
Nicholas Peterson
The ears and tooth gap get me every time. The design has zero aspects that tell you that her power is to shrink, and doesn’t look like a shy goth girl to also represent the “shrinking violet” theme.
Gabriel Ward
There sure was a lot of bordering on racism caricatures in this Losh, jesus
Chase Barnes
True character designs in Bendis Legion are just extremely bad, they should have gotten anyone other than sook to do it
Jason Bell
Ayden Watson
Once again I regret to inform you I like the Bendis designs. Even Mohawk Vi
Samuel Smith
The fucking earlobes. Just, why?
>shy goth girl
Toon design is probably her best one because of that.
I mean, you're not wrong. Salu's pretty bad, and the twins are a bit of a whoopsie, but poor Dawny has it the worst. Fucking face paint.
Eli Martinez
I mean sure while the writing would still be awful at least I wouldn’t have to keep squinting at figuring out who’s who.
Jaxon Clark
I would like those designs too if they weren’t so overly detail, humanoid and some legitimately offensive.
Benjamin Gray
Honestly, this. I don't outright reject the idea of radical reimaginings, but these are so overdetailed and some decisions are just weird. My big problem with them is that it's hard to immediately tell who's who.
The Legion of Doom 3001 are parodies of the LoSH, and you can still tell which is which. They also aren't overdetailed to absolute fuck. Sook designs must be a nightmare to draw on a regular basis.
Mason Davis
If a book has good writing or art to overcome shitty writing or Art it might turn out alright but when you have both shitty writing and shitty art it just will never end well
Dominic Gray
Tyler White
>120975294
God the writing in this is so bad
Benjamin Reed
>Rokk, the history nerd, not getting a Moby Dick reference
>Garth being excited about a Moby Dick reference
Harumph. Also, you're abslutely right, Monster Boy fan. Arune has potential from the premise alone. Even this page posits a decent narrative/thematic direction is the idea of what a "monster" even is.
Owen Wright
The Trips scenes are just awful
Heck, you could have a purple Tinya sure, but maybe oh I don't know, have her glow like a poltergeist or something? And actually have Brin look like a wolf than just some dude. Pretty much the only designs I liked are the ocs but they never get to do anything, I'm not even sure what X-ray girl's powers ever were.
Charles Moore
It’s a meta joke bc space moby dick ate Garths arm
Austin Morris
My poor boy's been cheated by his own creator baka
They're was a lot of "meta" jokes in Bendis losh, like how he copy-pasted the president from the two boot into his run.
Jaxon Rogers
>Tinya looking like Hellen Gravely
Drawfriends, make this user's brilliant idea a reality, please.
I know, that's why it's dumb. It'd be funnier if Garth was vaguely uncomfortable with this form.
Bendis does that all the time. He's a classical ideas guy, good concepts with no real plans.
Adam Bennett
Matthew Campbell
is this the average bendis legion page because this looks awful
Christopher Davis
It's meant to have your direct focus on Aron which I get, but the artist could've had a little more effort with the founder's expressions lol.
Anthony Ross
Pretty much
Brandon Powell
There aren't user. It's not helpful to lie to us. They're rare and over 25 they're already married on in LTR.
Landon Scott
honestly i'm surprised bendis didn't try to do a LoSH constantine.
I'll leave you with that cursed image
Thomas Bennett
Yeh, with all the horror-themed ocs he added, you think he would've taken that direction.
More progress on this, and I gotta say my opinion on the design are kinda like most people here, don't like them (but strangely find them very "educational" to draw. The Ocs are just more tolerable, hope to give them a go soon.
Dominic Russell
Benjamin Morales
Still not a fan of the design but your art is making it tolerable nicely done user
Elijah Sanders
Thank you, I can see what Sook was trying to do here. Brainy's always has a sweater jumpsuit and I guess the reasoning is, "just make it look more sweater-y and sci-fi looking." But all those lines are SUCH a pain.

it's funny that books of magic established that there is a constantine-archtype in the far, far future, but that was when most things were dead.

Joseph Smith
Don’t we still have Symbiotes threads? And if you mean Rouges as in baddies, that’s what the legion of doom threads are for.
Thomas Perez
Speaking of mages, I really like Kinetix. Zoey has that solid appeal of being a good person tempted by power, and her peppy if slightly clueless personality is endearing. Shame about all that hypertaxis stuff. That was just weird.
What is this gloom and doom bullshit? Even 5YL and Legion Lost weren't this morose.
Easton Nelson

Of necrobumpings
Not on saturday and was about Flash rogues
With the same 18 posters (not counting me) necrobumping it
Eli Barnes
It’s just a veiled way to have a Legion thread, do you hate fun?
Jose Garcia
Zoey was a fun character for the manic pixie dream girl that she was, her fetish to magically dress up the legionnaires every second allowed the artists *(cough cough moy)* to just have fun.
>Even 5YL and Legion Lost weren't this morose.
I’m more depressed we had to wait 8 years for such a disappointment.
Michael Flores
Clearly your new here because Losh threads lately end up with 40+ posters when the bump limit is reached
Gabriel Sullivan
they normally get to 40-60 posters, I don't know what the problem is
Ethan Morales
>you just know zoey is just writing slash fics of everyone in her diaries
Joseph Gray
Fail to see the problem here, user. These threads usually get a healthy amount of posters.
Blake Hernandez
Do not acknowledge the town fool. Anyway things may be looking down for legion in the comic scene. But here’s some more positive outlooks.
>cartoon show has more attention and appreciation thanks to the dvd releases
>If the bend boot is being force out already then the likely hood of them appearing the way they should in YJ cartoon is even more likely
>Draw anons of different types want to create more fanart of them
2021 feels like the “correction” year we all needed right now.

Honestly it’s more of a blessing that there is no Legion comic after Future State the further and quicker we move away from Bendis Legion the better

You ever notice that it's always the sci-fi stuff that gets the shaft? DC is well known for neglecting its cosmic stuff, and Nintendo actively fails to care about Metroid, F-Zero, and Star Fox. Custom Robo too. Why is it always the sci-fi stuff?
Hunter Parker
Brody Harris
The boy bought to orchestrate a revolution already.
Brayden Turner
Ayden Diaz
I really think it's probably just due to laziness or just a pure lack of interest from their creator/owners. Like Star Trek and the Expanse are good, but then you have disasters like the Star Wars movie franchise (thank god for Mandalorian) and you mention the shit treatment Nintendo has been giving their more sci-fi games lately.
Like look I get sci-fi isn't easy, it requires a very serious understanding of global politics and basic science, but when handled right AND PLANED, it can turn out pretty great.
Jaxon Bailey
I wonder what is his expression trying to convey?
Jonathan Morris
This makes me sad we never got an episode featuring Rokk and Lydda

Camden Turner
>tfw your powers are too useful for the comedy episode
Charles Evans
Could she have salvaged and redeemed his terrible hard-ass character though?
Ayden Rivera
I think so and honestly that could have been the entire episode of him being told he needs to loosen up and finally learns to do it when he’s around her
Jack Carter
I really should check out The Mandolorian at some point. It fucking looks like Metroid but Star Wars anyway.
>it requires a very serious understanding of global politics and basic science
Ah, well there it is. The classic problem of 'research is really haaaaard, guys'.
>planning
This is another problem a lot of writers seem to have, the lack of desire to actually draw out some kind of plan for the story. Lookin' at you, Brian.
Benjamin Wright
John Bailey
Ayla/Cham was both a weird and cute pairing
Zachary Ramirez
It's partially because of the Byrne Superman thing ruining the Legion for about 20 years and then DC fucking it up.
Also inability for the Legion to realistically meet Batman regularly.
Ethan Fisher
Isaac Hughes
Joseph Miller
We've mentioned Mysa Fate on these threads before but how about Zoey Fate?
Owen Ward
I prefer Mysa because she seems like a more capable user of the helmet than Zoey, plus Zoe can already be uber-powerful when she goes full elemental.
Andrew Murphy
That's a fair point
Speaking of Mysa and Zoey, was Zoey still inside Mordru inside Mysa by the end of Retroboot?
Gabriel Roberts
This is your reminder that Lana was a Legionnaire in good standing and very heroic individual and probably would still be with the team if Byrne hadn't come along. And now she's a complete nobody in the comics instead.
Ethan James
Man, my whole memory of that story is a bit hazy, but didn't Prime killed Zoe?
Jaxon Taylor
Prime killed her, Mordru absorbed her essence and then Mysa absorbed Mordru
Asher Foster
I want to say, once again, that fuck putting non-Superman, non-Jenni legacies on the Legion
Rond and the Tornado Twins can show up occasionally, but that's about it
Levi Howard
Ah! Thank you, thus she becomes the Black Witch also. Pretty kino design too.
Carter White
Yep
Brayden Thomas
My one biggest fear is that when Bendis losh is finally over with, we won't have legion threads at all anymore, heck no legion talk anywhere. Like it already feels like the dude just killed everyone's good feelings with the team, it's really disheartening to watch.
Landon James
I feel like Zoey Fate would end with Zoey and Nabu pissing each other off too much and having to separate.
With Jenni, it helps that a) the Tornado Twins appeared in an early story, so she's not out of place, b) she's an exception to the lack of legacies, and c) she's adorable and has a distinct personality.
No real hate on Future Fate, but we don't know anything about what kind of person she is, so while she has a cool design, it's hard to care about her. I care about Jenni.
Ayden Lee
I mean that can happen when there is no appearance in media but you know what be the change you want, if you feel like a legion thread start one maybe storytime a favorite issue
Brayden Foster
As long as Tinya’s ghost boobas are big and the entire legion roster is still hot, the legion will never truly die.
David Martin
That's fair, I just hate having to create and watch threads die.

Aren't you forgetting someone?
Brody King
Time Trapper reads like he's just in it for the entertainment of it all, he's probably the one setting up all the conflicts.
Levi Nelson
This week the Time Trapper is *rolls dice* Tharok having tried to control time to undo all of the Fatal Five's defeats
Alexander Morgan
Trapper's the narrator, possibly the secret puppetmaster, but not the direct main threat. Imagine having to juggle a huge roster AND have a time travel plot in the same story.
More like I'd prefer Legion specific villains to be the focus, let the IP stand on its own.
There's also that. How the fuck do you even begin to do a character in a movie whose identity changes every time they show up?
Brandon Long
It’s a shame that Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes volume isn’t reprinted, I think it’s the perfect introduction for newcomers to the Legion.

Agreed, I want L.E.G.I.O.N back.

Landon Foster
Here’s hoping they make a Legion of Superheroes by Geoff Johns collection with Lightning Saga, Superman and the LoSH and Legion of 3 worlds. It’d be a nice one shot deluxe edition
Brandon Reyes
Be the change you want to see, you want a rogues thread start a rogues thread
Parker Rodriguez
Which is more neglected? DC’s cosmic stuff or Marvel’s magic stuff.
Samuel Murphy
It would be nice, I remember a couple years ago I started a thread wanting to learn more about Vril and it somehow meme Magic/Monkey Pawed into him appearing in that 3 parter before Snyder’s Justice League. Thankfully no one remembers that story and Vril could easily make a comeback without referencing it
Noah Foster
HA! Man, Marvel just had a huge intergalactic war/gay space wedding event. Clearly, DC is awful at caring about their space stuff. I honestly blame Scott Snyder for this.
Samuel Martin
You didn't read the post you responded to.
Owen Bennett
I mean marvel at least attempts to use those characters every now and then. With DC we’d be lucky if we see more than one GL book now
Oliver Nelson
I don't think Marvel ignores its magic stuff either though.
Sebastian Reed
I have, barely anyone posts when I do, might have to try starting one at a better time where more people post.
Colton Wilson
Lol, their only magic book right now is a Harry Potter rip-off, Strange went decades without an ongoing, magic is “just another form of science” thanks to the MCU, and do I even need to mention Wanda.
Elijah Reyes
Wait they don’t have a Wanda or Strange book? That’s shocking considering they tend to have books running concurrently when they have a movie out
William Perry
They didn't change the magic in the mcu at all. They just explained it better. Magic has always been "the type of science we have yet to understand." in literally most fiction, especially the comics.
Tyler Evans
Rokk x Lydda, Rokk x Jazmin or Founders threesome?
Justin Gonzalez
Strange got a book when his movie came out but he was Aaron’ed and got canned. Shame since that book was good when Waid was writing it since he wasn’t writing teenagers (something that people in this thread can understand). Robinson had to fight to get Wanda a book but that got canned eventually.
Xavier Hill

We all know the latter is the correct answer. But DC will always be too chicken shit to do it.

Brody Brown

What was the better DCAU episode featuring the legion, STAS: New Kids in Town or JLU: Far From Home?
Jeremiah Martin
Far From Home for doing animated Kara/Dox
Joseph Harris
Elf Kinetix was my top favorite, and runner-up (heh) was Jenni. I always thought those two were cute together
Hunter King
>that fucking tongue that the Moy's always did
Brody Green
Good choice, personally I’d go with New Kids in Town because I’m a sucker for Legion showing up in Smallville stories and this episode was my introduction to the legion characters when I was a kid

Jaxson Martin
She should just have stayed with the Legion.
Justin Cox
I don’t know if that would have been the best way to go, her being a 20th century transplant in the 31st century would just be weird. But I guess it would be better than the crap they had her do in Superwoman
Andrew Garcia
No one likes any of future state designs because they failed to retain the characters original themes and initial characteristics. But I honestly wasn’t that upset about what they did with Querl. Now hear me out, it’s still overkill but it honestly reminded me of something straight from TMNT 2003 with punished Baxter stockman who gets a cyborg body every appearance he makes that’s gets cooler and more disturbed. I kinda would’ve been fine if they considered this instead of a “nanodragon shapeshifter” but that’s just my two sense on the matter.
Evan Rodriguez
Not like they didn't have plenty of time-displaced people anyway

Goddamn, the ships fro the cartoon are cool.
I'm honestly surprised there's never been a Legionnaire who's an Aya-esque spaceship A.I. Closest was Fortress Lad, but he was neither a ship, nor a QT A.I waifu.
Hunter Ross
Why bother? Lana is right there and not being used for anything for the last 20 years or so.

I suspect that's because Starfire and Darkseid were in it. Doubtful anything that spun out of No Justice was any good.

It's similar, sure. Standard 'all the heroes gather' kind of thing.
Also.

Let's say the Legion plays DnD, who'd be the best Dungeon Master? We all know Rokk would be the worst because he'd make then play with pen and paper for a more authentic 21st Century experience

Jose Barnes

Yep with Jac missing though but I’m not that mad about it.
Gavin Collins
Not necessarily Legion related but I’m a bit sad that DC All Star Games show didn’t take off and DC Heroes didn’t get a boost in popularity

At first, everyone figures Querl should DM, then he opens his mouth and they ask Gear to do it instead.
>We all know Rokk would be the worst because he'd make then play with pen and paper for a more authentic 21st Century experience
I do love the idea that Rokk is such a history nerd, he goes a bit hipster with it.

That’s understandable, honestly i would’ve much prefer they kept his legion around but give them a better writer. This throw the new baby overboard approach isn’t going really help Losh in the long run.
Adrian Taylor
Christopher Thompson
It literally was. Under 30k by issue 5
Joshua Rivera
It sold extremely low, even by LoSH standards
Henry Scott
No one has really taken to any of the designs or the world that Bendis set up, they would be better off starting fresh instead of continuing
Caleb Lewis
Bendis says that fans love the redesigns. Course he’s saying it, so obviously they don’t. Why can’t he just be a normal person and not have such a big ego about this, god. I honestly never wanted to ever hate the guy but it feels like he just wants people to dislike him.
> they would be better off starting fresh instead of continuing
Probably your right, that’s for the best now it seems. I genuinely wonder (with slight dread) how they’ll repair everything though.
Zachary Miller
Honestly give the legion to either Johns or Hickman, they are the only two that seem like they have genuine love for the franchise
Dylan Scott
You are correct.
Cooper Smith

Christopher Ramirez
Did they reject Hickman? I thought his LoSH shit was just a rumor. Seems to me that DC would jump at the chance to add Hickman to the company, I'd wager that Hickman wanted an exclusive deal and they couldn't pay him because AT&T are cheap faggots
John Garcia
Hickman was mia from Big two from the end of 2015-2018.
They tried to get him before AT&T bought WB
Jaxson Taylor
Honestly yeah they’ve just been dropping the ball a lot lately. Honestly his pitch was rejected because of Paul and Keith heard about it and where pissed at how edgy it was despite these being the same fucks that had Tinya cannibalizes Sun boy so I don’t get what they’re issue was. From what I heard from the pitch itself.

Wasn’t the fatal five first appearance had them working together with legion to stop the sun eater? Albeit temporarily obviously.
Joshua Adams
You can’t redeem the Fatal Five but you could fix Mordru up by purging the evil from him magically, or have him still be evil but with added complexity, he’s functions more like a neutral ruler of his own realm. As long as the UP doesn’t fuck with him, he doesn’t fuck with them.
Owen Perry
Mordru should really be the kind of guy that will fuck over both heroes and villains for his own benefit

Alexander Campbell
The Legion has (or had, a dozen reboots ago) a rule that powers must be innate; not stemming from some gadget.
............................................The Emerald Empress wouldn't qualify (even if she wasn't 100% evil)
............................................Nor a "Dial H" user (I seem to recall a little girl had the dial in the 31st century, but the Legion didn't know that)
............................................The Elongated Man has to drink something (but Plastic Man would be acceptable)
............................................And Lana's insect powers come from a ring

well it would help to like have a good idea of what the Legion normally is to set up the contrast. A bunch of the Silver Age stories and the Levitz Giffen stuff at the least.

It’s amazing that they even continued to collect the 70s run, I just hope they finish it off for once
Wyatt Richardson
Has anyone ever tried asking Johns what Glorith II's deal was supposed to be?
Did they do Earthwar at least? Cause it'd be kind of insulting if they stopped before one of the big ones.
Brody Baker
Of all legion runs that will probably not collected The Tv Show based one will probably never get collected but it would be cool considering the series just came out on Bluray and it would be the most accessible run for kids to get interested in the characters
Owen Moore
For comic/cartoons tie ins go, this was pretty good.
Camden Gomez
The early 2000s kid comics were all pretty great this and JLU were the standouts
Carson Robinson
>Did they do Earthwar at least? Cause it'd be kind of insulting if they stopped before one of the big ones.
That actually got collected in Superboy and The Legion of Superheroes vol 2 which collects SB & The LoSH #241-258, LoSH #259 and DC Comics Presents #13-14
Brayden Robinson
yeah. also it's a thing that I want for most of the big characters that the big 2 won't make. curated stories in cheap thick paperbacks to give to kids to introduce them to the characters.
marvel essentials were basically this but DC's Showcases aren't as good bc DC just wasn't built the same way. like how you can recommend runs at marvel but not at DC. the silver age stuff you can start at the start bc of Stan and Jack and Ditko but DC isn't like that.
i think Glorith 2 was Levitz but yes the main non fanboy reason I kept reading nu52 Legion was to find out her deal.
Christopher Phillips
has everything been reprinted recently up to Great Darkness besides the contents of the last few archives? or do we have a few more "Before the Darkness" volumes?
there's at least one paperback collection but i think it's random issues. I've got it somewhere
Jackson Powell
>curated stories in cheap thick paperbacks to give to kids to introduce them to the characters.
It's not a bad idea. Goodness knows the big two needs something to actually advertise their stuff.
>i think Glorith 2 was Levitz but yes the main non fanboy reason I kept reading nu52 Legion was to find out her deal.
It's damn shame that run went to shit like it did. Granted, it was a bit iffy to me from the off, but it wasn't terrible until near the end.
Daniel Morris
These are the three volumes currently in print, on the back of Before Darkness it says it’s part 1 of a 2 part collection
Wyatt Flores
this page for the immediate background to 5YL
Carson Wood
And here are the other two collections of the series, unfortunately they are currently out of print
Sebastian Watson
Also made one of these for Legionnaires vol 1 & 2
Sebastian Harris
And the Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning collections
Logan Perry
I love Moy's art so much. These covers really showcase the talent, cause it's often hard to make a mundane group shot dynamic and interesting.
Owen White
pretty misleading cover for Legion Lost
Andrew Reyes
When I was a kid it definitely caught my eye a lot on the comic racks
Chase Gutierrez
I mean it was literally the cover for one of the issues
Levi Peterson
Kevin Murphy
>Has anyone ever tried asking Johns what Glorith II's deal was supposed to be?
I just assumed she was a reborn Glorith who was purified of the bad Mordru touch.
Elijah Morales
I wonder if we’ll ever get Deluxe collections of Threeboot, it’s one of the easier runs to collect and it would only be about 4 volumes
Carter Clark
Daniel Lee
Probably, but it would be nice to actually get that story.
12th level spaghetti.
Ian Smith
Yera is underrated.
Gabriel Hill
>young romance
>chuck dixon
Hooo boy bet that's a shitshow
Nicholas Rivera
If I remember correctly it wasn’t that bad, but it was the Peyer story that was the standout
Christopher Roberts
>12th level spaghetti.
It’s always fun to see Brainy lose his shit when a blonde is involved
Eli Wright
John Hughes
Nicholas Robinson
Ethan Adams
necrobump before i go to sleep
see yall next week
Lincoln Ramirez
>talking shit about the Subs
Aiden Hill
Probably the worst thing about 5YL is that Giffen never understood the Subs at all. The Bierbaums either of course but they never understood anything about the Legion.
Oliver Richardson
It's not like there's much to get either. They're a "losers" club who manage to be genuine heroes despite their less than stellar powers. It's basic success with disability stuff. Sure, they're comedic, but end of the day, they're still Legionnaires brave and noble as any. I don't really see how anyone can miss that point.
Parker Phillips
yea maybe giffen thinks that's dumb but he also wrote a lot of G'Nort comics so idek
Brandon Ward
>lOl teHy arE duBm chARucteRS
Eli Johnson
I wondered if artists around that time thought she was a legacy character for Phantom Lady who was getting a bit more attention, or made a subconscious connection
Kevin Jenkins
Never can understand this kind of thinking. If you think the characters are dumb to you... wouldn’t you “fix” them to make them not for you?
Jonathan Miller
Benjamin Sanchez
Parker Hughes
Ian Wilson
Daniel Kelly
Luis Thompson
Kind of a random idea but maybe.
William Wood
I got to say I like the artist but I think she jumped too early on the legion hype train. I’m pretty sure she doesn’t know what’s just tragically happened with them yet.
Carter Gray
Mocking the Post Zero Hour Designs while using Sooks designs? This is some oblivious dumb shit
Brody Roberts
Carter Jones
To be fair, they’re only understanding of Losh was from the CW supergirl show. And since they’re literally the only one that draws Bendis boot fanart, it says a lot.
Carter Lopez
>Dab Forums tries to convince you Imra's pink bikini is cringe and too sexualized
>it turns out to actually be kino
Luis Bailey
Way better then Rokk’s. And honestly if you just switch the colors to black and give her a cape. She’ll look like a white blonde Storm. Which wouldn’t be a bad thing.
Landon Brooks
Oh that is a bad introduction to the legion, no wonder
Camden James
I think it works fine in pink or even red.
Jacob Hughes
hey hey now, I draw bendis boot "fanart" too. Just more slowly.
Kayden Barnes
But you at least have the clarity to know it’s bad designs, from the sound of it this person doesn’t
Brayden Powell
Yera's still cute in Retroboot, but I don't like that they gave her hair. Hurr hurr she girl, girls not bald. Lame.
Nicholas Rivera
To be fare she can change her form however she likes, maybe this version likes having hair
Tyler Morris
Possibly. Bald is still beautiful though.
Alexander Brooks
Definitely, her bald design reminds me a lot of the girl from the first Star Trek movie
Parker Sanders
Bald really would’ve been better desu
Matthew Williams
Eh, give them like a year I’m sure they’ll realize how utterly of a mistake the Bendis boot was. At least they’re reading the better Losh runs. To me, more Losh fans the better.
Tyler Nguyen
True
Gabriel Nguyen
Lincoln Sanders
>your brother was also tormented and turned into a rampaging monster by a dark god you little terp.
Jason Parker
And it’s so weird he’s complains about a fucking containment suit, like enjoy the fact you’re running around with a half naked changling
Jonathan Nguyen
Reminder that Yera was accepted by Gim's parents just fine. But they still insisted the kids be raised Jewish.
>go hang out with Uncle Mekt
Uh, yeah, he's all reformed at this point, but that's still a bit of a questionable idea.
Benjamin Murphy
Cameron Anderson
Jack Anderson
Luciano Vecchio is a good artist. Shame he got such negative feedback for that stupid woke nu-warriors garbage but his jumping back pleases me.
Michael Lewis
It’s kinda like Sook, he’s a good artist but definitely not a good character designer
Colton Bell
I mean Vecchio is an extreme SJW but his art is fine.
Jeremiah Howard
Why was the idea rejected? Probably would've been great.
Colton Price
The fact he has yet to draw any fanart from the "woke" Bendis boot shows he can't be that bad and he's smart enough to know it has glaring racial and queer eraser issues.
Carson Thomas
Are you referring to the idea that he was supposed to be RJ? I personally don't like that headcanon at all and would much prefer the idea of him being a Durlan that becomes the father figure of Dox and guardain for Querl.
Juan Jones
Lucas Foster
Cute pale moth lady
Juan Gray
Definitely
