I will never understand how DC keeps manages to screw up in all their recent attempts at the Legion of Super-Heroes despite it being such an idiot proof concept. It's a space opera with superheroes and young adult drama. Get it together, damn.
>>152619727Writers would be have to able to write a) likable young adults and their drama b) come up with sci fi storylines about superheroes c) juggling all the characters d) write shorter/self contained stories about individual characters instead of world ending mega block buster stories where everyone fights everyone else
Anyhow, new Legion book coming this Summer.
>>152620014None of those should be in any way difficult. >>152620065Cool. Can't wait to see how they fuck it up this time.
>>152620065Please be good. I don't expect it to be AMAZING. But please be good.
I like phantom girl
>>152619727She's cute
>>152620722I wanted more Dream Girl
>>152620978Too bad. You'll get her ancestor instead who's nowhere near as interesting as the showrunners seem to think she is. To the point that she even made it back into the comics. For the record, I don't actually dislike Nia, I just resent her being in the show over Nura.
>>152620978
Simply no one cares about your little waifu
>>152620791Cutest hero in all DC
>>152619727it already has the diversity without needing to turn existing characters homogayit's an automatic get
>>152620065Heard of it! After Bendis' trainwreck of a run, anyone else would be a step up. Really hoping Phantom Girl at least kinda looks like how she did in the cartoon in this new run since that's my best point of reference to the Legion. (Heck the OP uses a pic of her in that show.)
>>152622898You're not even wrong. >>152623081Speaking of diversity, what the fuck, Bendis?
>>152620978>its a "Legion gets turned into babies" story
Next DC Finest volume when?
Imra best girl.
>>152626174>She has read your dirty thought about her
>>152621900I wish comics still looked like this.
>Adult Legion of Middle Aged Heroes (guest staring Superman)-Geoff Johns-Gary Frank>Legion Academy (featuring little kid Jon Kent-Peter Tomasi-Todd Nauck>L.E.G.I.O.N-Robbie morrison-Henry Flint
>>152627065that Phantom Girl was definitely a smoker
Big wings
>>152627691Totally
>>152627065I love her YJ design
>>152621900beautiful page
Ill take a request or two. The yj version tho. That's my favorite design
>>152639840YJ Phantom Girl armpit tickle with her holding back laughter?
MY BRAND!(sorry I couldn't post the pic, already at work and the thread won't survive long enough)
>>152644820You still there?
>>152644133NTA and its not armpits but found this
>>152620722You do?
>>152620668>None of those should be in any way difficult.They can't even manage this with the comics.Every attempt to refresh the Legion hasn't been very good. The truth is the classic olde Legion comics weren't very good either.
>>152627889
>>152620065I have a bad feeling about this. I want to get excited but after Bendis and the Levitz New 52 era nostalgia books I'm fully expecting it to just suck. Why can't they just tell fun stories bros?
>>152648591Yep!
Is there a reason they just don't redo the Five Year Gap but with none of the constant retconning and inserting Tinya and Wildfire back into the plots?
>>152660952How would you even do that? Ok, Wildfire MAYBE you could insert him into the various plotlines or isolate him off to the side with Matter Eater Lad and Polar Boy. But Jo's entire arc revolves around Tinya being dead unless you go the route that she left him for Star Boy and the that I to also explain why Dream Girl got fat
>>152619727I've always found them really lame. Like tumblr OC superheroes
>>152620065Most of the title art looks like a throwback to Bronze Age comics.
>>152667065>Superman only gets a birthday once every 7 yearsSad!
>>152667065whaddaya mean he CHOSE his birthday
>>152668025A leap year is four years
>>152667065>8 leap >years old
>>152648896OMG SHES BEAUTIFUL
>>152620065Will it be good
>>152678990I don't have a lot of hope. DC somehow can't figure out how to do a space opera with superheroes. It really is galling that they keep fucking it up, because LoSH debuted nearly a decade before the original Star Trek. They literally did it first!
>>152667065Zoom looks like he's got some mischief planned for that 17
Imra, my beloved.
What's your favorite Legion ship? I've always been fond of the cartoon's design.
>>152680381This one
>>152660990Just take the random one armed dude who shares Wildfire's first name that is shacking up with Cosmic Boy/Night Girl who clearly was supposed to be Wildfire and actually make him be Drake Burroughs.Either that or do Wildfire/Dawnstar as a married pair of bounty hunters with new codenames (Dawnstar=Bounty, Drake=Wildstar) to salvage the whole fucked up Dawnstar is Bounty debacle.
>>152680381Best looking space cruiser to ever come from DC.
>>152678990>williamson>starring superboy primeno
>>152620065so what legion is it. they said its not absolute legion, maybe a legion made of the surviving members of the other 4 legions
What happened to last legion we saw in KO who were with Prime?
>>152682454Prime escaped alone and said he had a plan to save the legion but clark wouldn't like it.
>>152682434Presumably(hopefully), it's a generalized version that takes elements and characters from all versions.
>>152682424>starring superboy primeThat's just speculation, he's also busy taking over Superman's place, he can't go with the Legion.
>>152682434>>152683630I think it's very fucking obvious they're simply going to be the classic/retroboot Legion for multiple reasons>DC has been bringing back the classic/Silver Age backstories and versions of many of their characters, Superman and Supergirl in particular>With the return of Clark and Kara's Silver Age backstories, using the version of the Legion that fits into those backstories makes the most sense>The classic Legion just keeps being used and referenced as the main one over and over again>Everyone is fucking tired of reboots, this extends to the characters in-universe, so they're obviously not going to make a whole new version of the Legion again>Williamson is a continuity nut, and has said before that his preferred version of the Legion is the classic Legion, so naturally he would want to use the original version of the teamAt most, I can see them maybe incorporating Retroboot versions of characters from the other Legions into the classic Legion, but still keeping the classic lore and histories of the main characters intact instead of merging everything. They'll just keep them separate like what Johns did and probably try sticking with the classic Legion for the sake of consistency from now on.
>>152684711Seriously, I feel like you guys don't understand how much the classic Legion keeps being used for flashbacks...
>>152684734... and flashforwards, if they used a new/any other Legion, I feel like that would count as either false advertising.DC definitely knows the Legion is already confusing enough with 4 different versions, it makes no sense to introduce a new 5th one.What does make sense, is to bring back the first one, and pick and choose certain things from the other 3 that they can add onto it.
>>152684711This is new? wow. Bendis is definitely dead.
>>152619727>I will never understand how DC keeps manages to screw up in all their recent attempts at the Legion of Super-Heroes despite it being such an idiot proof concept. It's a space opera with superheroes and young adult drama. Get it together, damn.too out there, i guess
>>152627065Need YJ Phantom Girl ASMR
For me it's the Reboot Legion. It's my favorite run with a lot of my favorite iterations of the characters. >>152684711But yes, you're likely right. Nostalgic brand recognition and whatnot. I hope they at least use the Retroboot designs.
>>152619727DC has only recently managed to get it's shit together and put out a half-decent line.
>>152688304that part
>>152691870GOD the Legion has some top tier waifus. Reminder that WB forced the production crew of the cartoon to diminish the screentime of the female characters. Their reasoning of course, is the typical "boys show" bullshit. Because boys don't like looking at pretty girls, apparently.
new thread?
>>152692317Ridiculous.
>>152619727I liked Archie Legion
>>152619727Since RetroBoot (sorta silver age) Legion is going to be new main versionWhat character from other versions would you like to see make an appearance in the "classic" line up
>>152693650Sneckie! >What character from other versions would you like to see make an appearance in the "classic" line upYou just posted one of them. Princess Projectra was at her best when she was a cute snake.
>>152620065Do we know who's writing and drawing? I will not tolerate Bendis and Sook levels of shit
>>152693449Why? Do you ever read them before?
>>152693650>>152693826Sneckie should be brought back as a unique character not tied to Projectra. Maybe make a new Sneckie male too.
what should happen in Young Justice season 5 but won't
>>152693650ThunderXSLaurel Kent (sorta counts)
>>152696578eye edit
>>152619727Give me the Wazzo!
>>152619727>I will never understand how DC keeps manages to screw up in all their recent attempts at the Legion of Super-Heroes despite it being such an idiot proof concept. It's a space opera with superheroes and young adult drama. Get it together, damn.kids in the 2000s wanted something different, I gues
>>152619727It's Wazzo Wednesday
>>152699118good news
Wazzo
>>152626174>Incapacitated in the very first issue/episode and never gets to anything awesome for the whole runThe typical Saturn Girl story arc.
>>152693597Of course Jughead would be Matter-Eater Lad.
>>152692317I did think it odd how they basically took Saturn Girl out of the whole second season.
>>152701389Very
I feel like Talokian physiology must make them more resistant to heat, cause they live on a desert planet, and yet they dress like this. Then again, that might just be a Tasmia thing.
>>152702641sexo
>>152702678Tasmia has always been a scantily clad baddie.
>>152702732nice
>>152696597Thunder was cool
>>152696597XS is technically already part of the Retroboot future last time we saw them.
>>152693650Monstress!
>>152704569A really cool character that got done dirty, first by the artist who demanded she look less like She Hulk and then by DnA, who killed her off then lied, claiming Monsters (and Dawnstar) were "shit characters no one liked" while shilling their leather bug gimp Mary Sue and the character derailed version of Saturn Girl.
>>152693826Legion is well set up to writing out characters and brining in new ones. Could easily have human princess written out and bring in snake girl
>>152693650I liked this character during the DnA run.
>>152705608Despite Bendis' penchant for black girls, I'm genuinely surprised that Jazmin wasn't in his run.
>>152619727>Legion Academy>staring KID Jon Kent
>>152619727who is the cutest LOSH girl
>>152705629If he can't claim he created a black character? He will never use them except for Luke Cage. Which is why he ignored Lila Rhodes when he created and pushed Ironheart.
>>152619727Her design reminds me of Madison from Class of 3000
