Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! Lightning Saga Legion in Action!

Yes! Thanks LL.

Geoff, occasionally with Richard Donner. Of course, the whole series has been upended because of art delays from Adam Kubert. So, after months delay, it looks like we get one more installment of the Phantom Zone villians story in July, then we have to wait for some annual (unscheduled?) ala Heinberg's Wonder Woman. If I sound snarky and frustrated, it's because I am. Johns and Donner started doing some really great things with Supes (as has Busiek), only to have it completely thrown off track by production delays. The Action Comics schedule for the summer looks crazier than the Bizarro World freeway system.

If there's a theme in Johns' work on Action, it's restoring and enhancing old elements of the Superman mythos--Phantom Zone villains, Mon-El, Bizarro World, so the Legion fits in perfectly with that.

Now merged!

doublechinner, yeah i really got into the first few issues of Johns/Donner but then said I will just wait for it to be over and read the whole thing at once. I better do that and read it before the Legion show up.

Thanks Gary!

It sounded impressive didn't! I love when he does that! He's the Legion World God.

Or the Legion World Progenitor, anyway.

On other message boards, you delete messages. On Legion World, messages delete YOU.

Would snail mail post cards or letters make more of an immpression?

Clap your hands if you believe in the 80s Legion!

(clap!clap!clap!)

I believe in the 80s Legion, I'm just not sure I believe in the Johns/Meltzer Legion.

I enjoyed John's Legion more than Meltzer's. Both are still a step up from Waid, but I think below what the Legion can be.

I heard the Legion's being featured in a multi-part storyline in Action Comics coming this fall.
I need details,people! Writer? Artist? Which version of the Legion?
Start talkin'!

Info is here Rhino.

Merged again!

Geoff Johns & Gary Frank I believe. Frank's Legion will be...interesting. He's one of those artists that can go either way.

Thanx, Scott & Gary!

Thanks Jorge!

I'm catching up with Geoff Johns Action Comics.

Superman had "adopted" Lor-Zod the son of Zod. Ofcourse he didn't know he was Zod's son. He gave him the name Chris Kent.

Superman seems to have a problem remembering details when it comes to the Legion. We've seen in the Lightning Saga and now in Action comics.

I am currently only on Action #846 but I have this feeling. Perry White called Lor/Chris a "Kryptonian Kid". With the Legion appearing soon I wonder if Superman might give Lor over to them?

Also I wonder if the Legion erases Supes' memories when he goes back to the past and brings them back when he visits the future again?

This Action/Legion arc is going to be interesting.

That actually is well established in Legion Lore. Although they only wiped his memry completely once that I can recall, both Supes and Kara were under a hypnotic compulsion to forget anything they learned in the 30th Centruy that could cause them to change history through that knowledge.

During the Grell era, we learned that the Legion had also hidden lots of other important details from the Super cousins, like the Legion gene (DNA) bank because they feared that the temptation to use that knowledge to "resurrect" his parents or other loved ones would be too great.

Well Action #851 has a Legion related character besides Mon-El and I can't say I welcome it.

I hate when DC does this. Infact, this character (or atleast his name) appeared recently in another DC work. Certainly wasn't the guy we know in either issue(52 and Action). Stop throwing these names around if you are going to make the character completely different.

Hmm... well, said character was originally <span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">a Kryptonian juvenile delinquent, before travelling to the 30th century and reforming</span></span>, so it wouldn't surprise me if they rebooted him as a Kryptonian criminal.

Disappointing, but not surprising.

don't forget when <span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text"> Dev-Em was a Valor villain who blew up the moon.</span></span>

Kent I didn't know that.

Also an earlier story by Dwayne McDuffie (fill-in for Geoff's late Action arc) has Superman battling a Sun-Eater. I am reading the original Sun-Eater story right now.

Same trick. The Eater blasts Superman with red sun rays. McDuffie has it do the same in the Action issue.

It seems DC is brushing up on their Legion history as well as me. Hmm, I wonder why?
