Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! re-reading the REBOOT LEGION

I blame Facebook for how I'm never going to know how the showdown between the Excellents and the Shadow Excellents was going to go down, and what Tina Truths dark secret was!

Curse you, Facebook!

Hmm. I actually had that ending all worked out in my head... I promise to revisit that soon, and do my best to finish it.

(After all I did manage to finish Girl Zombie, Starsearchers and Trash Lass!)

I hated that all the heroic things terrorform Zoe did (boring a hole through the Robotican "firewall" surrounding Earth, healing M'Onel), didn't really sink in because I refused to accept her as "my" Kinetix.

On the other hand, I'm pretty sad that pre-terrorform Zoe never really had a strong "wow" moment besides her origin story. She did give up her powerlust later on, but it didn't have that big an impact.

Maybe she could have been the 31st century Mogo. It would have been marginally better than nippleless giraffe Zoe.

I think she would have had better 'traction' as a character if she hadn't undergone so many changes.

If I was going to turn any of the Legionnaires into a planet, it would be Blok, with the 'revelation' that he's a world-seed, the last elemental remnants of his destroyed homeworld, like Terra/the Swamp Thing/etc. all combined. Ten million years from now, his mass and density will just keep increasing and increasing, and he'll get larger and larger, until he develops his own gravitational field and falls asleep, drawing in matter from all around him and becomes the heart of a new reborn Dryad.

As for the Reboot, I really have to go out and find some of those issues. I was out of comics at the time and knew nothing about it, really, until it was near the tail end of its existence (the 'Fatal 500' arc, for instance, which was the end, IIRC).

The early years (as Lash recapped) are a safe bet. And alas, the Fatal 500 arc was the end. Only subsequent appearance so far has been Legion of 3 Worlds

And of course, tons of fan fiction in Bits

did lash and anyone else get to collect the other part of that Brainy with a beer storyline in Guy Guardner: Warrior 29? http://www.comics.org/issue/901476/cover/4/

and of course the how Valor/M'onel was placed in the statis zone in the reboot era. Superboy 17-19

I don't have any of those 3 issues above. I do have most of the Postboot Legion's appearances in Showcase (Apparition and Andromeda escorting Academy students; XS, Gates and Leviathan trying to catch an assasin; the Team 20 Legion 2-parter with Vril Dox and the evil Brainiac); and the Legion appearance in Adventure Comics 80-page Giant (3 founders, Kid Q II, Ferro and Lori Morning taking on a blob that can adapt to their powers).

On the off-chance someone's checking this thread and not the other Legion forum, we have a new re-read thread here! Come on in and share your thoughts!

This thread was one of the first things that got me curious about the Postboot Legion.

Thank you, Lash, for this and so much more.

This thread inspired me to create my own reread thread. Not that I could ever match Lash's own flair, but it was encouraging that he had such a love for all Legion eras, even ones that he didn't grow up with.

Well said, Ibby. Lash's taste in Legion eras and in comics in general was as eclectic as his taste in music.

Indeed, Fanfie. That's a great observation and shows how ready Lash was to embrace diversity. It showed in how he treated people too.
