Is this series worth getting into or should I just wait for the show?

>>86848296
Is good but I wouldnt suggest it to someone who is new to the character.

>>86848322
What if you watched that one episode of X-Men: Evolution?

>>86848449
I dont remember what episode are you talking about, but All you need to know about legion is.

>He is the son of Xavier
>He can absorb people minds, doing it give him different powers
>If he want to use those powers the mind of the person he absorbed has to take control of Legion body

>>86848322
I was new to the character and I would recommend it to people who are new as well. It's a good series and you don't need to know about the guy beforehand.

>>86848478
So basically eveything that's explained in the first issue of the book in the OP?
I just wanted to take the piss out of that response because the idea of 'essential Legion reading' is retarded.

I will say that they're coming out with an omnibus in a couple of months so if you're planning to buy the trades I'd wait for that.

>>86848478

This is what confused the shit out of me when I read the first trade years ago. So basically, all those mutants that are trapped in his "mind prison" actually existed at one point?

>>86849034
Some are, sometimes Legion creates them based on his fears, desires, ect.

>>86848296
Read the book.

The show is likely gonna be as related to the series as Preacher or Lucifer are.

>>86848517
So which is it, motherfuckers?

>>86849115
>implying Preacher isn't accurate

They just dragged out the first issue for an entire season. Road trip shenanigans start in season 2.

>>86849193
No, they barely touched upon anything that happens in the comic whatsoever, and drew a character or two from far later in the storyline, and then of course completely changed the main characters motivations and personality.

>>86849155
Read it. It's good. Probably better than the show will be.

>>86848296
It's worth it. It's a solid read overall and you'll probably finish it before the show comes out.

It'll be better than the show and it'll be better than anything you've read this year.

And then they killed one half of the based gay angel duo. So basically, if he doesn't come back, I'm not sticking round.
