A completely new team and setting, with no references or similarity to anything from the previous runs.

Seriously, I cannot be bothered to give a single fuck about the continuing tragic romance of Phantom Girl and Ultra Boy.

>>88511906
So you just want a completely different book then?

>>88511655
>Elsa Charretier
That would be neat, she has a nice kinda Timm-ian style. I really wanted Bilquis Evely after their appearance in Sugar & Spike, but she got the WW gig.

>>88511603
The big three and a revolving cast of supporting characters.

Also bring back the Justice Society of America era Thom.

>>88511861
>Doc Shaner on art.
You want ongoing or mini?

>>88511861
Parker would be good. You know Busiek talked a bit about how he thinks about rebooting the Legion the other day?

>>88511655
I HTG that Hickman rumor wasn't true.

>>88512378
Not that anon, but it seems bizarre that 1) you would be into the legion but not into continuity 2) you can't conceive of anything other than full nostalgia or full novelty

>>88512388
He needs to hurry the fuck up and finish Multiversity Too and Batman Black & White first.

I think the legion are gonna come back as part of this supposed Dr. Manhattan metaplot, where the lost 10 years of the DCU have seriously impact their future. "Their" Superman being dead might mean they haven't had anyone to contact, hence why they're all split up and e.g. Saturn Girl is in Arkham.

>>88511603
Honestly just leave it the fuck alone. I don't want the company that let it get to this point already get their greedy little paws on yet another historical legacy to ruin.

>>88512434

>you can't conceive of anything other than full nostalgia or full novelty
We've had the middle-ground before too, with genuinely alien Legionaires and new costumes and all the rest.
It always ends up being the same soap opera plot devices set to a flimsy Buck Rodgers quality space opera setting.

Convince me of a compelling need for a Legion comic book.

>>88512476
I'm pretty shaky on the "compelling need" for any big 2 book my m8.

>>88512476
>>88512570
...though, both soap opera and space opera are underrepresented in them at the moment.

>>88512570
Exactly.
There's not exactly a lot of empty spaces on the shelves at this point.
And I don't hear of any writers itching to inject a lot of fresh new stories into the Legion of Superheroes mythos.

So I seriously question the need for more "Teens in the 30th Century think Superman is cool and fight space-crime" volumes.

>>88512474
So when a company who has historically maintained a legacy for decades and then decides to not only push them aside but kill the legacy altogether we are supposed to drop to our knees and open wide when they bring it back for a quick sales boost? I'm fine with not being that guy.

>>88512626
>So I seriously question the need for more "Teens in the 30th Century think Superman is cool and fight space-crime" volumes.
By that logic, all ongoing comics should be discontinued. Why are you in this thread if you're just going to bitch? How bout you fuck off and go talk about something you actually like. Because you do this in every thread, and it's annoying as fuck.

>>88512626
I mean I would rather have that than another Iron Man book? Or another Bat book? As a one line hook I *like* that, although the LOSH are usually not teens anymore.

>>88512400
Nit him, but it's entirely reasonable to like Legion but not want to see the series go down the same path again or continue a story that's spun its wheels for decades.

>>88512755
>Implying CoIE is somehow special, let alone the other Crises and varying levels of retcon and reboot.
You should have boycotted them eons ago, you hypocrite.

>>88512378
No, I want them to tell new and different stories but I want them to use some of the same characters. And it's not like they've told every possible story they could tell with those characters.

>>88513654
Sure, but that's not necessarily the same thing as "every single part of it must be entirely new"

>>88511603
I'd like to know the creative team first

GIFFEN OR DEATH

they just mess that up too..

5 Legion books.

Legion of Superheroes by Moz/Quietly + rotating artists. 30th Cosmic future superheroes on a multiversal/crosstime scale.

L.E.G.I.O.N by Ellis/Pacheo. Vril Dox as a manipulative but ultimately benevolent barstard with a team of misfits forcefully drafted into a borderline fascist 20th century space police force.

Legion Lost by Hickman/Deodato. Adventures of a team of legionnaires lost in an unknown part of space-time.

Legionnaires by Millar/Finch. Teen superheroes with all of Millar's 90s Mortal Kombat cabinet come to life extreme edgelord stupidity. Probably has a lot of sex and drugs in it. If not Millar than Ennis.

The Legion by Johns/Frank. Old fashioned hopeful Silver Age style superheroics with modern sensibilities.

To decide which legionnaires out of the entire history of the property goes in each book, the creative teams have to fight each other while wearing these.

>>88519366
I'd support that

>>88519493

Thanks. Which part the creative team choices & book pitches or the creative teams having to fight each other while wearing sumo suits over who gets what Legion characters?

>>88514767
>And it's not like they've told every possible story they could tell with those characters.
So mix up the shipping eh?

Because they've had all these decades and they've barely managed to introduce ANY good villains, so that's right out.

>>88519588

The Dominators, Mordru, the Time Trapper are all pretty great villains and I barely follow DC let alone the Legion..

>>88519588
>they've barely managed to introduce ANY good villains
Time Trapper, Emerald Empress, Fatal Five, Legion of Super Villains, Dominators, Mordru, Glorith, Lightning Lord are all pretty decent

>>88512426

Given that Imra basically seemed to not give a flying fuck about Superbro dying, being all "It all works out.....", I think the Legion are more going to be the plot device that restores shit due to them being the only ones who KNOW the real nature of reality and fixing shit.

>>88519564
The L.E.G.I.O.N. pitch and the fighting, mostly. But I'd read all of it to support the fighting.

>>88519644
They've beaten the Fatal Five to death in the books, who shouldn't even be a serious threat to half of the Legion teams. The dominators are Evil Asian Aliens worthy of Lucas, Mordru is a silly fucking Space Wizard, Time Trapper is a plot device to fuck with continuity, and "Evil Versions of Us!" is a lame trope DC beat to death at least 40 years ago.

And Emerald Empress and Lightning Lord are members of two of the teams you mentioned separately.

>>88519588
Have them deal with natural disasters and political conflicts, find out what the fuck Brainiac 3 decided to do for 500+ years and make that a thing, invent new criminals, have them look for "ancient" artifacts that could become a threat in the future (various Lantern batteries, for example).

Legion has always had too many
"I'm the last of my OP race"
"I'm basically Robin-tier, maybe we should call cops"
"There's a whole planet of people with my powers, but I'm extra sassy".

The first step is better hero concepts than "I can use all of Superman's powers, but only one at a time, lol"

>>88519994
When has DC ever written good political conflicts?
I'm serious.
The more pressing issue is that they can't write interesting Science Fiction, which sorta defeats the point of bringing back a hero team set in a far-future sci fi setting.
It ALWAYS ends up being relationship drama with a backdrop of rayguns and rocket ships.

>>88519722

Who does this apply to other than Element Lad?

>>88519995
>>88520064
Man it just seems like you really fucking hate the Legion, right? Assuming you're the same guy attacking the core concepts right through this thread.

Shit Ultra Boy is a fun character. That's a fun restriction on the power set, and he's kind of a meathead so he gets the worst of it too.

>>88520064
They've been close to it, they just need to find a writer who can and will be allowed to handle it.

>>88520181
he did it in the last thread too

>>88520122
The Kryptonians and as often as not the Daxamites?

>>88520219
Yeah, Idunno. There's "Any Legion reboot needs to strike out boldly" and there's "I want to read an Image series about space teens."

>>88520219
>>88520351
And then there's "They can really tell fresh new stories this time" when we are talking about a company that thinks Flash needed yet another Yellow Evil version of himself that's somehow faster.

You guys just want to be fed the same comfy pap.

>>88519995
>"I can use all of Superman's powers, but only one at a time, lol"
that's actually a pretty neat restriction

>>88520417
I mean, I'm not reading Flash. Cranky, I just feel like there's a middle ground you're missing here between the extremes.

Parker with Benes

I'd prefer they go with a younger-seeming group (not necessarily as young as the Archie Legion, though half of that youthfulness was just the art) if they're going to try to keep a similar tone to the rest of the current books. Waid Legion was hello fellow kids, so it'd be nice if we could avoid that too.
And maybe hold off on the cast of thousands until a core 6-12 have time to grow personalities.

That...actually sounds like a good idea. Lots of lore, obscure legionnaires and continuity he can play with after 50 or so years and four reboots. Plus he can still do meta-fuckery with Time Trapper if he really needed to.
