FINAL TALLY - 27 VOTES - 7/19/03

10 questions, all one choice per question unless question # 8.

1 - Should Chris Batista stay on as the regular Legion penciller?

1st Place - 81% (22 votes) Yes
2nd - 15% (4) He should be the main fill-in artist to relieve the regular artist
3rd - 4% (1) No

- Well, that’s a very high positive after just three issues. Will it diminish after Lightle’s #24?

2 - Which of the following Legion Lost casualties should return as regular Legionnaires?

1st - 26% (7) - Tie -
- None should return
- Only Live Wire and Element Lad

- They sort of represent the two extremes, but if combined with the 3rd & 4th place responses, more want Garth and/or Jan to return than no return at all

3rd - 22% (6) - Element Lad
4th - 19% (5) - Live Wire
5th - 4% (1)
- Monstress
- Only Element Lad and Monstress
7th - 0% (0) - Nobody wants these choices at al!
- All should return
- Only Live Wire and Monstress
- A merged character of Live Wire and Element Lad should return
- Super-Moby-Dick of Space coming back as the ghost of Chemical King - Okay this was a test to see if you’re paying attention. You didn’t pass, did you?

3 Should there be a second Legion book?

- 67% (18) Yes
- 33% (9) No

---- Two to one want one to make two!

4 Should DC publish Jim Shooter’s reputed “Last Legion Story” as an Elseworlds book?

- 100% (27) Yes
- 0% (0) No

- This is truly amazing, just incredible. 100%. 100 fuckin %. 27 people all independently said “Let’s see Shooter’s story.” Somebody email that nasshole Carlin.

5 Are you buying The Avengers because Olivier Coipel is drawing the current story?

1st - 56% (15) No
2nd - 26% (7) I already was buying The Avengers
3rd - 19% (5) Yes

- I hope Olivier’s doing well, but his Legion popularity doesn’t appear to be pulling those fans over to his Marvel assignment.

6 Including mini-series & guest appearances, my Legion collection numbers:

1st - 67% (18) - more than 300 comics
2nd - 11% (3)
- 151 - 200
- 201 - 300
4th - 4% (1)
- 1 - 25
- 51 - 100
- 101 - 150
7th - 0% (0) - 26 - 50

- Jesus, are we geeks or what? Two to one, more than 300 Legion comics. Assuming 12 comics to the year, that’s a quarter century, 25 years of comics. Well, the Legion World Census is indicating that’s the majority length of time of members’ Legion hobby. Still we should be ashamed of ourselves! Think of the rainforests! [Big Grin]

7 What do you think of Sensor’s new look?

1st - 48% (13) Don't care, but it's better than the snake
2nd - 44% (12) Like it
3rd - 4% (1)
- Don't like it
- Don't care

- The snake is dead. Long live the (half-)snake.

8 Which major Legion Villains do you most want to see return? (Three Votes)

1st - 78% (21) Legion of Super-Villains - Nearly four outta five members want the big bad boy n’ girl club back! It’s been what, 20 years or so? Will we ever see them again in this post-corny-name quasi-sophisticated comic era? That’s a future Poll question.

2nd - 63% (17) Time Trapper - And more than three out of five want this dude muckin’ around with the
Legion. TT has appeared postboot. Will he return to do that hoo-doo that he do? Say it with me: “Only time will...”

3rd - 30% (8) - Fatal Five - They just appeared, but you want more, more, more!
4th - 26% (7)
- Dark Circle - I found this surprising considering their last appearance (DarK Circle Rising) wasn’t that popular.
- Mordru - Never know when he’s gonna crawl out from a rock, or a grave.
- Progenitor - You know it’s gonna happen. Mark your calendar.
7th - 15% (4) White Triangle - Isn’t that a stop sign in Argentina?
8th - 11% (3) Darkseid - Apparently a psuedo-taste of rockface was enough.
9th - 4% (1) Computo - Yeah, but what about Sharn Nux? You know you want her!
10 - 0% (0) Ra's Al Ghul - Put a fork in him? Is he done?

9 If you buy less comics now than three years ago, what is the main reason why?

1st - 30% (8) I buy roughly the same amount. - The more things stay the same, the more they stay the same?
2nd - 19% (5) - Another pair of polarities?
- Comics simply don’t interest me as much as they used to.
- I buy more.
4th - 11% (3)
- Because of the higher prices of comics.
- My money is being spent on other hobbies or cultural interests.
6th - 7% (2) Because of the overall lower quality of comics.
7th - 4% (1) My current job situation or finances force me to cut back.
8th - 0% (0) I no longer have the same access to comics (moved, store closed.)

10 What do you think of this Legion World website?

1st - 22% (6) TIE!
- It’s like a damn festival in my shorts!
- Five Star Boys! The summer’s number one blockbuster!

--- Apparently it’s a five Star Boy festival in our shorts!

3rd - 15% (4) I can’t understand why there isn’t pandemonium in the streets?!

--- It’s Ashcroft and his thugs!!

4th - 11% (3) We're not worthy!!!

--- Let’s pretend we are!

5th - 7% (2) --- Whatchu talkin’ ‘bout Willis?!

- Now this is what I’m talkin’ about!
- I want to bear it’s children!

7th - 4% (1) --- Somehow, these all go together...

- It’s cooler than Polar Boy!
- It’s hotter than Sun Boy!
- Pure frunt!!
- I sweatin’ like a pig and lovin’ it! --- Okay, I admit it. I picked this one, and it had nothing to do with Legion World.

11th - 0% (0) - Perhaps it’s wise and good that no one picked these two...

- It’s sexier than Dream Girl!
- It’s better than the comic!

Nice poll, though!

Gotta bump, cause it's too hot to drop!

I have to admit, I'm surporised by some of the results so far. Some answers have 100% agreement!

As soon as I can figure out how. Meanwhile, I will be moving this, and all polls, over to the new poll forum, The Planetary Chance Machine.

Thanx, the boy with UP!

I tried to make it fun and provactive. Nardo likes to think he hit one outta the park!

Nardo likes to think many things.

I won't be revealing the ongoing Poll results in hopes of getting curious members to vote in order to see the results. But I will say I’m amazed at some of the majority opinions in terms of how high a % they are and even the particular view expressed. In particular the strength of the #1 response in the Villain question, but most of all the phenomenal response to the Jim Shooter question. Really, it’s kind of amazing!

I will of course reveal the Poll’s final results after I shut it down, but I feel a multi-question Poll like this will draw a strong response so I’m going to give it a while.

But don’t wait! Nardo changes his mind like that! >snap!<

I am, after all, a sprockin’ galactic nasshole!

My card.

Poll closes in less than 7 hours.

Thanks, Nardo.

That was an excellent poll and and even better analysis. Fasinating results. I'm looking forward to the next one. [Smile]

And hey, I didn't know I could have voted for Super-Moby-Dick of Space coming back as the ghost of Chemical King! Oh wait, that was a joke.
