Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Visionaries of Tomorrow The 2nd coming of Mike Nasser

An interesting article on former Legion artist Mike Nasser over on Lying In The Gutters .

Well, at least when Mike gets to Crazytown, he should find Keith Giffin there waiting for him.

This bit is what cracked me up:

And he'll probably blame the Legion when he admits to temporary insanity.

I have seen the light!

He even mentions Titan, the moon of Saturn! Wow, what a freakin' nutjob!

Do I speak ill of YOUR God, Cobie???

For shame... for shame.

Pov,

Just remember that a crusade or jihard is not the way to endear your new found religion to others

Just out of curiousity, you do realize this isn't the same guy that worked on the Legion, right? Mike Nasser was the Legion Guy... Mike Netzer is the Religion Guy.

But it is the same guy Princess. Read the story. He's changed his name.

I don't blame you for not reading the whole piece, Cru, but:

"Michael Netzer (also known as Mike Nasser)... oh boy.

And people think Todd McFarlane has an ego."

That's down towards the end of the piece.

My God forgives your ignorance. :rolleyes:

And check this link if you have the intestinal fortitude.

Amen, brother. Amen.

That's a comforting thought that I will carry with me always, dear

Nope. Same guy. Changed his name. Or, more correctly I believe, Nasser was a pen name.

I believe Nasser is his real name, I think he took the name Netzer after her converted to Judaism back in the 80's.

In honor of our venerated Lord Michael, I have decided to join Pov in adopting as my avatar, for the remainder of the week, the visage of the High Father.

I invite you all to do the same.

Sorry. Beards and big boobs do not look attractive together.

Not even mine and yours, Princess?

Nasser...starting to seem like his message is comforting...like I believe...

If any of you start passing out Kool-Aid, you're banned!

So give me the jist of it--

Nasser's gone whacko?

Even if it's Cherry?

Especially Cherry!

Nasser believes he is the Messiah. I find it very entertaining but the industry really doesn't need 'that' kind of publicity right now.

Who would have thought that his interview in the Legion Companion would have been an omen!

Does that mean that we are his chosen people?

So you're saying Goofy Grape is more appropriate?

So this is what all the Mike Nasser hijinks are about. That'll teach me not to visit the Legion forum for a few days.

Maybe he changed his surname after realizing that, in the Legion's time, "Nasser" is a rude epithet...

Mike Nasser is not his real name either. I recently reread an old issue of Challengers which had a bio of him, and they gave his original name. I can't remember it off the top of my head, but it was kind of an arabic-sounding name. I think "Nasserdeen" may have been part of it. They mentioned that in college he was known as "Funky Nasser". Indeed.

When I read his interview in Legion Companion, he made oblique references to an important future project he was working on. Guess this must be it. Wow.

A fine artist, but I still say Cockrum is God.

For the Brits Amongst us.

Anyone remember the David Icke fiasco a few years back?

D. Icke??? Are you serious, Darden?

I don't know D. Icke.

Hey, thanks, I forgot all about that. You're right, his real real name was something like "Nassedeen" (then the switch to Nasser, then Netzer).


Amen to that! How about a Cockrum Icon for all us Dave followers.

Getting closer to "nutso" all the time...

Speaking of artists with an apparent screw loose, did Neil Adams ever publish that book which he said was going to prove his unifying theory of the universe?

BLASPHAMERS!! Will Eisner is the one true GOD! Curt Swan is the closest Legion artist to GODHOOD, being chief among the lesser GODS. Cockrum is but a demi-GOD at best.

Whilst the spelling may be off (and you know spelling is not my strong point pov) Dotty David is all too real.

He was a fairly well respected sports commentator who "got" religion in a big way. Unfortunately he turned into a bit of a laughing stock when he appeared on a national chat show in a pink jogging outfit, and proceeded to try to tell everyone he was the son of God.

To be fair what he actually said was that God is in everyone and that therefore we are all the sons of God.

However the media picked up on this and crucified the poor sod. Since then he has become a bit of a byword for the “Looney” religious.

How cool. I see you're still using the user icon I made for you a couple of years ago, Faraway. Sweet Ass Sweet.

But...back to the topic...that's some beautiful work by 'ol Mike. I didn't know he could dig that deep and crank out such nice stuff. I'll grant you it's a bit on the "looney" side but I'll put up with a lot of wierd philosophies to get the goods from an artist.
Nice work.

Arthur, those icons are still great ! Now if only we could see some more...(hint, hint)...
