Your location? Is giving the county pretty much the way down there? Been a long time since I've even been through NC. Had a job interview once in.... eh, I forget. It'll come to me. Hickory? yeah that's it. Hickory.

Lurked for 2 years. Joined, still lurking. What the heck, tonight I decided to introduce myself.
Name: SherylR (what I used at dalnet Legion chat, lo those many years ago)
Age: 52
Location: Bellaire, Texas. Bellaire is the biggest little city within the Houston city limits
What you do: Registered Nurse. I also am the editor and the owner of The Collector Times, but that's my rathole of a hobby I pour money into, rather than a money making concern.
Legion info: Hahah! I started reading with Adventure 300...it hooked me at age 5, and I've been reading ever since. My favorite Legion artist of all time is Mike Grell, although Barry Kitson ranks a very close second, and I loved Dave Cockrum. Writers? Levitz, of course, and I also loved Keith Giffen's writing. I loved v3 and v4. Detested the first reboot with a passion, yet I am really enjoying the current run, warts and all. There's no Legionnaire I actively dislike, but if I had to pick favorites, it'd be Saturn Girl and Brainiac 5.
My oldest daughter is a Legion fan, too. I gave her the reboot title when she was about 14 or so and asked her to read it and so she could tell me if it sucked or not. She initially LOVED it, and like a good little Legion fanatic, went right back into my collection, and read everything from Adventure 247 on. So we do kinda stand out, being the mom/daughter Legion fandom team. I've made her a couple of Night Girl costumes: One is the silver age version, and the other one is the Grell costume. She's worn both to Comic Con International and to various Texas conventions. The year Barry and Mark attended Wizard Texas, my oldest daughter was wearing the 1950s Batwoman outfit, if that rings a bell with anyone. It was at that con that Barry told my daughter about this message board, and she told me about it. I've been lurking every since.
Amusingly enough, my husband, the I-don't-read-comics-I-read-real-books guy, loves the Legion cartoon. We watch it together every Saturday morning.
My youngest daughter is the rebel...she makes hers Marvel!
Anyway, I'm glad to be here. Hopefully I'll post periodically, now that I've decided to break the ice.

Welcome, QuietDarkness and an official Texan "Howdy, neighbor!" to a fellow Houstonian (yes, I know Bellaire is an independent city)!
Always good to have another Texas Legion Worlder on board.

Hi. I'm new here. 38 year old married engineer from Rochester, NY. I'm not sure how much I'll be able to visit here, it'll depend on my workload and such. It looks like a great site, though.
Question for lizrdprnce. Do you post at the DC site under the same name?

ell, there have been as many incarnations of this thread as Legion message boards, but thanks to Gary and Scott, we've all found a terrific home here at Legion World.
I thought it would be a nice idea to start this thread up again, so that we can get to know all our LW friends and family, both old and new.
Here's some of the standard info that people have included in the past -- but please feel free to tell your fellow Legion Worlders as much or as little as you'd like.
Name Ashley Age 21 Where you live hell oh im sorry ppl normally cal it nj What you do im a artist a cartoonist but i haven't had any thing published
