Legion of Super-Heroes

>Is the big twist that Dr. Manhattan is the Time Trapper?

That would be great and make a lot of sense, but Legion plans are supposed to start playing out sometime next year while Rebirth it supposed to ramp up in like two years. Even if that happens I don't think it explains why they'd be excluded from cameos and all right now.

I think it probably just has to do with not wanting to complicate things until they are established again. It'll probably be Retroboot style but I'm hoping they include some things from the Reboot team at least (not too married to Threeboot though). The Superman stuff being so convoluted is an issue of course, they probably need to have been friends with Superbro but maybe they will give them Superdad instead somehow.

All we know for sure is Saturn Girl is in Metropolis waiting for Superman.

Word is that Jimenez wanted to use something Legion related in Superwoman but got told no which should imply planning.

I think Super Sons getting delayed might have something to do with it (among other dumb theories) but that's crackpot w/ no basis in fact.

>I think it probably just has to do with not wanting to complicate things until they are established again.
I mean, that's fair, especially with the series' history with fucked continuity. I highly doubt the Superman stuff will be an issue though, since even since before Zero Hour, the standard fallback has been to have Mon-El be the legendary figure who colonized space.

As for the setting, the best option would probably be to do a mix and match thing, with elements from all iterations. While I didn't care for Threeboot, it had some interesting ideas that deserve to be explored more(Imra being mute, Tinya being in constant dimensional flux, Nura existing in people's minds, Gim being from a race of giants, etc).

>>85885695
>since even since before Zero Hour, the standard fallback has been to have Mon-El be the legendary figure who colonized space.

While I don't mind the Mon-El switch I feel like that might have been part of the problem with their popularity dipping, not having a stream of Superman characterfags maybe checking out the Legion out of curiosity because it ~matters~ to continuity. There were a couple of crossovers and the stuck in the past arcs but it's not the same.

>>85885772
And I forgot, probably more importantly Johns feels like Superman is important to them so he'll probably give them some kind of Superman.

>>85885600
I'm guessing they'll wait to fix the mess that is the Superman continuity first to estabilish the connection to Superman. Remember Post-Flashpoint is just Pre-Flashpoint but altered by Manhattan. There will be another universe-changing event and Pre-N52 Superman will always had been the Superman of this universe afterall. Retroboot Legion has to remember Superdad as the only Superman.

Goodness knows what the hell that's about, or what hideous effects all this Manhattan crap is having on the future. That Time Trapper theory is looking better every day.

Also, a note to Gary Frank. Imra is already terrifying enough as it is, she doesn't need your help. Goddamn.

They should stick to what Johns did with Legion of Three Worlds. He organized the different versions of the Legion and gave Superman his story with the original Legion back. No need to complicate things further.

they could be just waiting to give Superman a big hero moment in a crossover to inspire Legion in the future, something he never got in the New 52.

that way you have an organic set up to a new Legion book.

It is nice for Clark to have his friends from the future.

>>85886104
That'd be all well and good, but the Saturn Girl cameo kinda messes with that idea.

Unless poor Imra has to wait in that police station until the main story of Rebirth is over.

>>85885860
The only reason I feel like the fix won't be that simple is because they're wasting so much time. All this intermediate shit is just not great to read. Kara with no cousin, JL not trusting this Superman, etc. Like why do this outsider Superman nonsense at all instead of just cleaning it up right away? Give him history with the existing world and get back to status quo people want like most of the books have already done then build from there. Wally has to remind people he exists but the heavy lifting was done in a single one-shot. Superman shit should have been handled in the death arc completely.

But fuck it, this is a Legion thread. Whatever happens will happen.

I wonder if she means Nu52 Superman or Post-Crisis. Is Superdad out in the open as a hero yet?

>>85886298
The dialogue suggests Superbro but I don't know. The continuity of the Legion of Morrison's run is kind of iffy in itself. The kid flashbacks could have still happened but them as adults was a bad end future that got prevented, I think?

>>85886252
She's from the future she already knows whats going to happen so she can chill in lock up and be smug and Rebirth is supposed to be a two year deal, with the Watchmen stuff happening in 2018 but it 2017 you can have Superman save the day from villain X in a company crossover and spin Legion out of that.

Good question. Presumably "their" Superman would be the Post-Crisis one, but we have no inkling of what, if anything, Rebirth Legion is like. Hell she could indeed be looking for Nu52 Supes, and this could be some Hypercrisis shit, or he didn't die, but got stuck in present day Bgztl.

Seriously, the hell is with Gary Frank's faces? Everyone he draws has permanent rapeface.

Even better. Really though, the Time Trapper could be goddamned anyone, he/she/it is one of those anomalies that will always exist as some abstract functional component of existence(entropy, specifically).

A renegade Controller, Glorith, Cosmic Boy, and Superboy Prime have all been the Trapper. Dr. Manhattan would fit entirely too well. Hell, I'm surprised Donna Troy hasn't worn the robe yet.

I feel like it's possible she's too slow. Only did a couple of TT issues and some of the details weren't too great.

But with Johns trying to pair up creative teams with books they like I guess it's not too far out of the question. Maybe she could get the variant job since every book has them now.

Will Jenni ever show up in the Flash TV show?

One idea that crossed my mind is that they might use the COIE Supergirl from Convergence and put her with the Legion for shipping purposes and all. But maybe divorcing the main universe Kara from the LoSH in such a way is a bad idea.

>>85887696
I feel like Johns cares a little about her and CW is addicted to adding speedsters so it's plausible.

>>85886823
Please god no.
Donna origin is the worst mess ever. They could "try" to use the Time Trapper to explain it, but unless it is John who write it like he did with Legion of Three World, it will be shit.

If there was ever to be a Legion TV series, having Jenni appear in Flash as a backdoor pilot would be a good way to start.

>>85887960
They are doing Mon-El on Supergirl and the universes will probably merge so that could do it too. And we've seen Clark's ring in the fortress there.

I feel like rebooting LOSH is a ridiculously hard task. If you try to reboot it conventionally it just bombs. I don't see where there's a place in sales for the legion anymore. Maybe there could be a regular annual, or a series or minis.

I don't know why you would want a DC that doesn't make the Legion a priority to do a Legion book.

Mah nigga. Unlike Trinity-shipping, Founder-shipping is delicious. Lydda can join in too, if she wants. It's the future after all.

>>85888868
>should I just read everything they show up in?
Pretty much. Most of it is at least readable, and even the widely disliked Threeboot isn't completely terrible until Shooter takes over. The latter half of Five Years Later is pretty bad, as is the latter half of Retroboot. Otherwise it's fairly smooth sailing.

>>85888868
You could start from the beginning and marathon through but if you need a little help with some starting points/suggestions (there have been a couple of LoSH torrents around but I don't have a link)

Silver age: Adventure Comics #346
Bronze age: LoSH v2 #283
Five Years Later (you'll want to read it with context of the earlier stuff though): LoSH v4 #1
90s Reboot (first proper reboot): LoSH v4 #0, Legionnaires #0, LoSH v4 #62, Legionnaires #19, LoSH v4 #63, etc (they stop crisscrossing directly after like an arc or two but they'll crossover again at times as well)
DnA run: LoSH v4 #122, Legionnaires #79, LoSH v4 #123, Legionnaires #80 then Legion Lost (you could start with Legion Lost on its own but the context helps)
Threeboot (second proper reboot): v5 #1
Retroboot (sort of an unboot): mainly just the Johns arcs (JLA/JSA Lightning Saga, Superman and the LoSH, Final Crisis Lo3W)
Other cool things: Star Trek crossover, Morrison's Action run, Superboy's Legion Elseworld
Not exactly LoSH but you should read it: L.E.G.I.O.N. and R.E.B.E.L.S.

5YL gets shitty when Giffen leaves. Threeboot gets shitty when Waid and Bedard leave. Retroboot get shitty when Johns leaves.

There's a ton of minis that aren't listed that are ok, Mon-El had an ongoing and was pretty involved in New Krypton, etc. But I assume once you get a taste for things you'll probably read them anyway. I probably forgot something obvious.

>>85889206
Founder-shipping is dreadful. Imagine joining the legion in that environment.

Threeboot is awesome fuck y'all

>>85889320
>Not exactly LoSH but you should read it: L.E.G.I.O.N. and R.E.B.E.L.S.
This. Vril and the gang need to come back, because DC's cosmic game is fucking pitiful right now.

>I probably forgot something obvious.
You may be thinking Invasion, but nobody needs to read Invasion. If you must, skim to the parts that set up L.E.G.I.O.N, cause the event is otherwise dull as hell.

So who are your favorite Legionnaires, /co/?

By the way, despite all the jokes about the huge umber of characters, honestly I think that's one of the Legion's main appeals. There's so many that you're bond to get attached to at least a few. It helps that most of their stuff is pretty readable.

Legion Lost was just pathetic. Especially after The Culling(which is a piece of shit all unto itself), where we find out exactly what Harvest's deal is. DC REALLY needs to let that Monarch shit go. This is, what, the fourth time they've tried it? Nobody fucking cares.

That said, Legion Lost did allow Dawnstar some much needed positive paneltime. Poor gal's been shat on for most of her existence, it's about time she got to do something cool.

>Even in the first half when it was good, it was depressing.

5YL is kinda one of those late 80s Pre-Vertigo adult themes books that DC did a ton of after Watchmen and Grell Arrow were hits.

Talokians must have evolved to resist the elements, because they do not give a single flying fuck about dressing like this in the fucking desert. Any other species would be sunburned or heatstroked to shit.

With Kat down, I'm having trouble finding one. Does anyone have a close to a complete torrent?
Yes, I'm autistic enough to go through the entire shit, as long as the torrent keeps the tie-ins.

>>85894048
Easy way to tell if someone is a boring, uncreative moron: Tell them about Matter-Eater lad, Triplicate Girl, or Bouncing Boy. If they think they're lame, that person is an idiot.

Tenzil may be kind of a sillyass, but dude's got balls.

>>85894261
It's the fact he goes mad for years after eating it too. It's nuts even for the legion.

Probably because they're a little more broad than the standard stuff. Luronu had a unique martial art utilizing three people. Tri-Jutsu!

Though it's odd, Reboot put a fair bit of effort into making Luornu a more prominent character, but the other two traditionally "lame" Legionnaires, Tenzil and Chuck became glorified extras. Weird.

>>85894679
Because Triplicate Girl, for all the shit she gets, is at least acknowledged as being hot.

Well, they kinda are. You have any idea how many pairings there are on this team? Listing them all would take ages.

>>85886281
>The only reason I feel like the fix won't be that simple is because they're wasting so much time.

I agree. I don't know what they're doing. But they HAVE to fix it. There's no way the higher ups at DC think this is a good status quo.

>>85888018
Make a popular movie, a TV series, and do a big relaunch with a popular writer or an event. Push them.

>>85895536
I enjoy Garth and Imra together but I still feel like they messed up by pairing them so early in Legion history. They were paired before anyone even had much of a personality.

>>85896000
I think a lot of us would kill for a Legion TV series but could it even be done correctly?

What would you all like to see if it happened?

>>85896095
Make it like Star Trek, but with more young appeal.

That mentality of "this shit doesn't work well on live action" doesn't hold water anymore with comic books. If Guardians of the Galaxy worked, the Legion can work. I'm 100% sure of that.

>>85896095
>What would you all like to see if it happened?
Two words: Anthology Format.

Pick a few Legionnaires, write an episode about them. Then next week, pick a different set of Legionnaires, and write an episode about them. Rinse and repeat, with a disconnected running arc throughout that builds until the finale. Just Brave and the Bold that shit.

>>85896227
You'd have to consider things like budget as well for a modern sci-fi heavy story with an ensemble cast.

>>85896095
I think the problem with TV is the effects. You could do it, but you'd be limited by the budget. I remember Johns saying something like they couldn't have Garth shoot lightning on Smallville because of that. Maybe you could balance the teams around and only have one expensive character per mission, but it would be rough. I wish action cartoons weren't dead or a relaunch there would seem viable.

Of course with all I've said CW will probably shit out a show in like a year.

>>85896227

It's Star Trek + X-Men with teen drama. you would think it's an easy pitch

>>85896301
Yeah, doing effects for 15-30 different powers/characters ain't cheap.

>>85885513

i feel like dc always tries to make legion happen and they never happen

New 52, Darkseid War is mentioned in the death arc. Those fire pits caused some issues.

Is it okay to like the 90s Legion? Because I've read like 3 issues and I like them so far.

>LOSH in the 90s supported TWO series that both spanned over 50 issues

JUST

>>85897008
I don't know how old school readers feel but I think it's good. Though Legion Lost is the only arc that really stuck with me from that version.

Absolutely. Personally, Reboot is my favorite iteration.

Though I don't really get the common nickname of "Archie Legion". Yeah, the art by Jeff Moy is cute, but it's still an overall serious story with the occasional slice of life stuff.

I love Imra, and part of the reason is that she's utterly terrifying.

>>85889376
Threeboot peaked in the opening pages with that monitor conversation. There were nice ideas/twists on the characters there (Colossal Boy being from a race of giants that shrinks or Shrinking Violet being called Atom Girl and being treated as an urban legend) but it went down hill very fast, at least by the point Supergirl was added.

The biggest saving grace it had was that Kitson draws cute grills.

>>85894163
Not a torrent but Readcomiconline.to will have most of that stuff if you've ever used sites like Kissmanga.

Original Legion runs in Adventure Comics until #380 where it becomes a back up for Action Comics (377-392), then a back up for Superboy (#172) before that title becomes Superboy starring the Legion of Super-Heroes with #197, then Superboy gets dropped in #259.

Once the new LoSH series comes in 1984 you can just go with that and then Legionnaires as normal.

I'd also say that plenty of the pre-Shooter LoSH stuff is worth reading. There's Silver Age wackiness but it being so far in the future means that some seriousness and change does occur and there's some stories that are well worth reading (the Dynamo-Boy story, for instance, is pretty fucking dark for a Silver Age comic).

>>85897875
God that scene freaked me out more than assured me.

>>85897190
It's in between Five Years Later and Legion of the Damned. It is Archie Legion, comparatively.

>>85891086
It's really a shame that we got an X-Men/New Teen Titans story and never X-Men/LoSH.

I get that those were both of their companies' biggiest books at the time and all but I've read Wolfman's NTT and I've never been overly impressed with it. It's not bad or anything but it's horribly overrated compared to what Claremont was doing on the X-Men at the same time.

LoSH is way closer to DC's X-Men than the Teen Titans ever were.

Anyway it's hard to pick favorites since I like so many of them. I've always liked Shrinking Violet in all of her incarnations, Projectra and Kinetix.

>>85891207
Other way around. Timer Wolf was first and naturally when the X-Men fought the Shi'ar Imperial Guard (totally not the Legion), Wolverine fought Fang (not-Timber Wolf) and the two had a healthy respect for each other.

>>85893564
/co/ barely reads comics published NOW, why are they going to read grandpa shit like the Legion? And ten years old? /co/ ain't full of geezers who were watching TV back then!

Seriously though, I think /co/ falls for memes spouted by lazy online reviewers too much (i.e. NINETIES BAD and the like) and the idea of the Legion being confusing puts a lot of people off despite being overflowing with waifus and husbandos. That and I can see how the idea of having so many character to deal with can feel overwhelming though. Personally I love it and the idea of it, when I first found out about it and back when Chris Sims would do shit like review old LoSH stories made me fall in love with the concept and then going and picking up some old Showcase Presents volumes (being cheaper than the Archives) hooked me.

Like I said in another post, it's very much DC's X-Men with the large group of characters that makes it very easy to find someone to like, the ambitious sci-fi space opera storytelling, the soap opera character dynamics, etc. Whenever the Legion does come back I really hope they just shy away from modern comics. It can be dramatic and serious but I'd really like to see a wholesale embrace of the positive vision of the future too.

Fun little fact: Wolverine wore Fang's costume in that story, of course, but when X-23 joined the X-Men during Claremont's third run in the mid-2000s (ReLoad event I think?) she wore the Fang costume as well.

>>85894435
Imagine Araki writing a LoSH mini or something. Just think of what he could do with someone like Triplicate Girl.

I thought the "infinite duplicates" thing was a neat twist in Threeboot but fuck passing that on to the Preboot/Retroboot version though though

That said, who IS the shittiest/worst Legion member?

>>85900086
The shittiest/worst one? That's easy. It's your favorite.

>>85900086
Did Atmos officially join? He's my answer anyway though

>>85900086
Earth Man. So fucking easy.

>>85900181
He's the worst in terms of character, but isn't his power pretty OP?

>>85900086
>That said, who IS the shittiest/worst Legion member?

Terra Man is an obvious answer. Also Nemesis Kid, although he made for a better villain.

>>85900375
>Nemesis Kid
I don't really think guys who were created with the intention of betraying them right away should count.

Earth Man's a good choice though but at least they had the wherewithal to kill him off.

>>85900618
Hooking him up with Shadow Lass was...odd.

>>85900181
Eh, the fact that he could absorb essentially the whole Legion's powers is really fucking OP. That he was chosen for a Green Lantern ring is only icing on the cake.

One of Imra's defining characteristics is that she's pragmatic, and despite being a good person, will do some pretty questionable things to save the day. One minute she's all kind and compassionate, the next she's mind controlling entire crowds of people into falling asleep to protect them. Goddamn, I love her.

Might just be a telepath thing though, they are kind of inherently creepy even when they're good guys.

>>85906434
>Might just be a telepath thing though, they are kind of inherently creepy even when they're good guys.
It always feels like Imra's the only telepath where that's really played up without her being full on autistically cold and detached.
