So is this kind of "breaking news"? All I can say is... good riddance. Legion in the 20th (or 21st) century NEVER really worked for longer than a few issues. Ill-advised idea from the beginning, no direction, clumsy storyline and muddled crossovers with C-class characters fighting D-class villains...
Can't say that I'm feeling any pity about this decision. Hope the characters return where they belong to...

Although it was nice seeing some focus on these 7 Legionnaires for a bit (especially the underused Gates and Yera)... YAHOO! THEY'RE GOING HOME! At least, I hope so...

Gates isn't...

It had it's flaws, but there was stuff about it that I legitimately enjoyed, so I just hope that Levitz(/Giffen) put these guys back to good use if/when they get back to the 31st Century.

I think he wants his new Academy kids to be the center, with the "real" Legionnaires forming a setting around them. It's time to take those younguns back to another Academy book (the previous book was much better than Legion Lost has been) and let us have the real Legion of Super-Heroes back.

I wouldn't want to say the "real" Legion of Super-Heroes, since I'm sure there were people who were saying the same thing when, say, Ferro Lad, Karate Kid and Princess Projectra came on, and then again with Wildfire and Dawnstar.
I think that's one of the neater things about the Legion--there isn't some set corporate standard that these characters can be, they can die, or retire, and either new characters can fill in the roles, or new characters can steal the spotlight.

I hate you all! why? I am sick of Brainiac 5, Saturn Girl, Ultra boy being panel- hogging! Dawnstar, Wildfire, Tyroc, Tellus, Gates, Chameleon Girl, and Timber Wolf - ah....who have not seen them for a while since the Zero Hour put them "out of existence" and were brought back by Geoff Johns to bring Superboy and Kid Flash back alive? sigh.
more Chameleon Girl!! more Tyroc!! they really shone through the LL book. sigh.
I hate you all!
:sad: really hope to see them all alive back in Legion...*finger crossing*
PS no I am not really mad at you all.

My thought as well. The Adventure run with the Academy recruits was better than Legion Lost has been, IMO. I really like Yera, Timber Wolf, Tellus and the new improved Tyroc, and would rather see them with the Legion in the 31st century than farting around in the 21st century, on a mission (to stop Alastor from releasing the Hypertaxis plaque) that failed *before they even arrived.*
Bringing Glorith, Chemical Kid, Comet Queen and Dragonwing onto the core team as 'replacements' so quickly was a mistake, since, 'death pool' or not, I don't think *anybody* expected the Legion Lost crew to remain 'lost' forever.

The sad thing about Legion Lost's (apparent) terribleness is that it really was a great group of characters. Some really interesting stories could have been told with that bunch IMO.
So great then that even in their last issue, some crappy, random Teen Titans villain gets the focus instead.
