Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Visionaries of Tomorrow Kitson Marvel-exclusive, Waid & Kitson off Slosh

Jorge: Anyone with George Perez would be okay. Really anyone. Just yesterday I took his Avengers run from the 90s out and scrolled through the issues. Fantastic.

To top my former post, hey, they could even bring back the CRAPPIEST characters like MONSTRESS I would still love to buy it as long as George Perez does it.

Geoff Johns is quite okay though I did not really like his Titans stuff.

I hear ya CK. Have you ever seen the Legionnaire sketches Perez did for Who's Who? They're Silver Age and they're fabulous!

...and Gail Simone did the last story arc for the DnA reboot. I didn't love it but I liked it. I'm not sure how she'd be on the book as a regular but she really did have a way with new villians and (seriously) a popular villian is something the new Legion needs desperately.

Yes the Who is Who sketches are great, and there was a two page spread in "History of the DC Universe" #2 after Crisis which is just spectacular.

Gail Simone I'm not so sure about - but anybody who bring back the old contiunuity or something similar to it is welcome in my book...

I thought Gail Simone's Legion story was awful. And I can't believe Marvel has poached another Legion artist, dammit! DC must not pay as well as Marvel, that's all I can say. Come on, DC! If you want to keep the geat artists, you have to cough up the space cabbage!

I'm afraid this is the beginning of a downward spiral on a book that was only limping along on the merits of its fantastic art to begin with.

Bollocks!

I haven't had time to read through all of this thread but I can only hope that the artist who takes over is as gifted as Barry.

Well, DC started it when they poached Kitson from Marvel, in the middle of a project... I'm sorry to see Barry go, and I'll be checking Champions, as Civil War really got me excited in Marvel again.

I'm not too fussed about Waid leaving though. His run has been more miss than hit, and directionless... and addind Supergirl didn't help.

OMG, a Pariscub sighting?!

I forgot about Barry in the T-Bolts. Good one pc.

Barry--you done good!
Thanks and take care.

A few Legion tidbits at Wondercon DCU Nation Panel

http://www.newsarama.com/WonderCon/2007/DCNation.html

“World War III” Didio said in answer to a question if Supergirl will be returning to the present day from the Legion’s time. There will be a change in the title, he added.
...

Is Legion of Super Heroes going to end at #30? Didio: No.

Hopefully there'll be more info at tomorrow's panel with Waid but it sounds to me like it's going forward with a title change.

Yeah, from Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes back to The Legion of Super-Heroes. We all knew that Kara would be gone with the end of 52.

Alas, I was at the panel for a coupla minutes but it was too packed and way too warm and musky so I had to get out of there.

Oops...I meant to post this here and not on the other thread:

No question I will miss Barry's art...back when I was reading L.E.G.I.O.N., I always wished that he was on the "real" legion book so I could see how he might draw my fave characters.

I'll miss Mark's humorous dialogue but not so much his plotting.

Does anyone know why DC decided to end the Waid/Kitson run?

I think Waid and Kitson ended their own run. I remember from the start that they said something about it being a 2 and a half year run or something.

Wimps. I want a Legion lifer of Barry's qualilty on the art, dammit.

So we still don't know who's going to be on the title?

I think it's a safe bet it's Tony Bedard as writer.

Actually, to draw in a more diverse readership, they are going to rename the book "Gloria Estefan and the Legion of Super-Heroes."

What? It worked great for Miami Sound Machine!

Oh, and 'Nuff Said:


Click it, Baby!

^ the above post reminds me of an Ellen DeGeneres routine.

[Er...EDIT! The Post above the above post...Thanks Cru! ]

I am not so sure. I mean, maybe you're right, but as well as it fits I haven't read anything that would lead me to believe that it's anything like confirmed.

First look at Barry's cover to The Champions #1 is up .

I love that picture - I would like to have it as a giant size poster but the format of "History" prevents me from doing a decent copy, you can get the middle part straight. It is a wonderful picture of the Levitz Legion.

CAN'T get it straight. Oh my.
