I think DC should have a main title and think the Legion Infinity should be a multiverse title.
Legion of Super-Heroes
Legion Acadmey
Science Police
Legion Infinity
This is the Legion titles I want. They should be a FRANCHISE!

I'd count that as an advantage.

Can you say "Computo," boys and girls?
Interesting that there's no mention of Chuck. I guess we're not going to see more of his term as leader.
Gee I wonder what happens to Triplicate Girl that she becomes Duo Damsel?
I wonder if the guy voicing Bouncing Boy left. He really turned me off at last years con when the cartoon and the voice actors were being introduced "I bounce" Said kind of sarcasticly.

I agree EDE. I think most stories should be 1 or 2 issues. Maybe once a year have a big bad 3 issue story. This should be an event and not used more than once a year. Ofcourse subplots running amok in the background.
Usually we care more about what Vi said to Dirk versus what villain is attacking.

quote:The next question dealt with the names of the Legion ofSuper-Heroes characters - the more traditional "Lightning Lad" versus the more "modern" Livewire - and if it was "a necessary evil" to getback to the more traditional names. DiDio said he likes to go back towhat people remember most, using the example of Supergirl - people remember her as Superman's cousin, not as any of the other iterations ofthe character. "What do people remember most, what do people react tothe most" is what's important, and building a contemporary world around them.
The panelists chipped in on their opinions on the issues, with Simone saying "it's all good to me" and saying she likes both, McKeever saying that it's best to focus on "the substance over the flash," and Berganza joking that he prefers "whatever the boss tells me."
DiDio pointed to an audience member dressed up as Krypto (and by extension, the character's lingering popularity) as an example that people still care about older ideas in the DC Universe.
quote:Yes - we are going to see even more versions of the 52 Earth's versions of the future Legion of Super-Heroes. Conner Kent may also play a part in one of these scenarios.

I personally think Conner Kent is still in the mix. I still think it was him who appeared in the LS in shadows.

The problem has become so prevalent that I really just want a great solution with good stories.
But a mix of continuities will never work unless there is one main Legion title with a single continuity, and all other titles grow from that. How we get there is the question. I really think this is a pretty practical line of thinking, even if I might wish differently.
*If* the Lightning Saga Legion became the main Legion title, I would not object and even defend the notion of 'moving on with it' though, I won't lie about that.
I've also come to realize that even the 'talking about fixing the Legion problem' is discouraging about comics in general to me these days. That's how far its come. I'm just so tired about stories that are about continuity problems rather than stories are just good stories.

I personally miss the time-honored fanboy debates where I'd rally for Monstress' death, people would call me mean-spirited and then Dan and Andy actually did it and I cheered

I tried that with KQII and instead they made her Rokk's girlfriend.

What if they had made KQII Monstress' girlfriend? Would that have satisfied you and Cobie?

Not me, although I didn't hate Monstress as much as most. But if she had been made the girlfriend of just one of Lu's bodies...

Personally, I hated Monstress until the Legion of the Damned. I liked KQII- not as much as KQI- but the whole romance with Rokk seemed forced and really kinda creepy. When she was elected leader she went thru a total personality change and I was not impressed. She was better when she was slightly anti-establishment and would often have a critical eye on the Legion.

That's where I'm at now. I like Shikari & Gates, but they've been rebooted out. Time to accept it and move on. I like the new Legion too. At this point, any talk of the old LSH should be fond memories, not requests. It only hurts the current book.
Let this series live on its own merits.
