Well now I'm not too sure this is the right time to be posting this. Maybe a bit too much competition from another much more popular book launch do you think? This was a treat to myself as a sort of Birthday present but it has taken a long time to get it all together and working with Scott in America was a real learning curve for me. My original script for this was WAYYYY to long. Scott offered to do a full 22 pages but I could not at the time afford it. Many thanks to Gary for hosting these images for me. These are saved a little smaller than the originals (which were in TIFF format and about 25MB each page) but you should still be able to click on them for larger views. Any one interested in the back story this episode came from should look Here Anyway now for your entertainment and I hope you enjoy, this four colour adventure of the Legion of Message Board Posters.

That’s one good-lookin’ super-hero on page one! I can practically feel the females getting worried about his fate!

You'll have to get all the females on Legion World to mount a rescue mission. Mind you I thought you might be looking forward to be chained in a dungeon with the "empress"

Darden, this is great. It's funny to read about 'enema rays' in comic format as that's not normally the sort of evil do-ers weapons that appear in my usual choice of reading material, maybe it's time I stopped reading only DC and Marvel?
Who's the artist?
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.

The art is amazing! It reminds of me of a 70's era comic (and that is definatley a compliment!). I'm looking forward to the Empress/Cobalt scenes that follow!

Who's the artist? B What can i say, I have a warped sense of humour. You asked who the artist is? this is from his web page which you can find Here ABOUT THE ARTIST: Scott Reed is a graduate from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. As a cartoonist, he began his career contributing inks for Greater Mercury Comics in 1990. In 1993, he was hired on-staff as an inker for Malibu / Marvel Comics. There, Reed's credits included Star Trek: DS9, Mortal Kombat, and many others. Reed left Malibu in 1995 to pursue a freelance career, where he provided inks to Dark Horse Comics mini-series Godzilla & G.I.Joe. His Marvel Comics credits include Mission:Impossible, Independence Day, Virtuo Fighter and Spiderman/Ultraverse. I found him offering to do three pages on an ebay auction.

I'm looking forward to the Empress/Cobalt scenes that follow! Scott does have a pretty old school style and i for one think it works well for this story.

You took up Scott Reed's auctions! I've seen them for some time. He'll do individual pages or a three-page story, with those being auctioned off, and will contract to do a "full" story. I was tempted myself.
Great action and storytelling! It gets a conflict across in a compact way and with distinct LMBP characters. Reed clearly knows how to pare a story down to its essential actions, as hard as it may be for those like you or me to prune back our own words.
What a gift not just for yourself, but for all of us! (And thanks for getting my sister into the first page.)

Thanks guys, I wish there was more to come but finances prevented me from getting any more pages than that. However! if any of you LW artists want to, I would love to work on another set of pages. I could even stump up a bit of money to pay for it (not huge sums though guys, I have food and stuff to buy you know ) Anyone intersted PM me.

colour me chastised Vee AS I SAID UP ABOVE (shouting in cas no one heard me) if any of the LW artists want to work with me I'd be more than happy to put up another couple of three pagers I have in mind. And actually I need a LMBP'er who can grow and shrink. So unless you have had a power change to match your avatar change you made the cut. And i want to put Harbinger in there as well. gosh damit I need an artist, stat!

I think Vivian/High Priestess ought to have a power like the Wasp. Shrink and grow fairy wings and shoot indeterminate "magical bolts" (they twinkle like Tinkerbell's energy wake) at her opponents. Hey, it fits with her "Priestess of the Holy Isle" personna AND is a bona fide super power. Would that help? There's always Gay Green Giant who grows like Colossal Boy (the old one) It takes two characters to do it but we get the job done! btw- those pages are wonderful! Thanks for going to so much effort, I love 'em.
