Which legendary DC villain is behind this nice darkness that’s about to destroy all of the ages of heroes suddenly? Are you telling me the villain of a six-issue series isn't revealed until the sixth issue? We haven't even met any minions or loyal servants or seen the effects of the actions of a possible villain. In fact this story so far doesn't even imply a villain, just a natural disaster situation like a filler episode of Star Trek Next Generation. We're on issue three right now, half way through this story-line, and both of the teams so far have just tumbled through space-holes every issue with no purpose, and nothing resembling a villain or motivation has even been teased. I feel this going to be like Kamandi in the Checkmate series and be revealed at the last minute with no clues beforehand, leaving readers scratching their heads over why it even happened. all this AND the way forward for the Legion of Super-Heroes is revealed! ...this is the part that has me intrigued. I get the feeling this is the last story for this reboot of the Legion. Nobody except Bendis has written them outside of cameos or short stories and I don't see them being handed off to another writer.

I get the feeling this is the last story for this reboot of the Legion. Nobody except Bendis has written them outside of cameos or short stories and I don't see them being handed off to another writer. I agree with both your points here. I'm actually interested in seeing where the Batman Beyond stuff goes, but I'm concerned that very little has been revealed as of yet as to what the source of the struggle is here. I'd think that would be revealed in issue 4, have the main fight in 5, and the resolution in 6. But we'll see. And I'm REALLY nervous about the "way forward" line. Honestly, I'm geared for disappointment, but that's just me.

Are you telling me the villain of a six-issue series isn't revealed until the sixth issue? I don't know... the Earthwar saga (S&LSH v2 #241-245, my personal favorite) was five issues (a late 709's/ early 80's fat five, which would have been stretched to probably 8-10 with today's limited volume per issue), and didn't reveal the villain or even give a very strong hint as to their identity until last panel of the 2nd to last issue... which might be similar here, considering they said "proper reveal" for the last issue. So could work, assuming they put some MEAT into the last issue and don't have the entire plot resolved with one or two giant splash panels. As for the "way forward", one would HOPE they wouldn't tease/advertise it unless it was GOOD news for Legion fans, but then they've certainly done build-up to disappointment in the past... (anyone remember Enya Wazzo during Zero-hour?)

(anyone remember Enya Wazzo during Zero-hour?) One would assume so, but there is good news in it having a monthly ongoing, and yet another about the direction they take and who the writer is.

I'm concerned that the "way forward" is to have the team, or parts of it anyway, stuck in the 21st century to try to drum up more fans for their inevitable return to the 31st century. Fingers crossed it'll be good news though and the return of a monthly, hell even quarterly comic.
Legion Worlds NINE - wait, there's even more ongoing amazing adventures? Yup, and you'll only find them in the Bits o' Legionnaire Business Forum.

Its interesting - when they did this in the 90s and split the team, we had a TON of Legion appearances across that year (96, I think). But when the team got back together, the editor couldn't get a good strategy together and the book really lost its way after LSH 100, and the sales figure show this starkly,
Anything on a regular basis would be welcome news, though.
Still wishing for the regular Anthology with stories from all the Legion eras.

Oooh that's been done a few times, so I really hope we don't get stranded Legionnaires and a divided team again After all, this Legion thrives on group scenes with all 33 rushing about together
