And I'd like to think that one or both of the Beks ought to be included.<BR/>I'd quibble about Lobo, but agree that, like him or not, he added an interesting element to the book.<BR/><BR/>My only worry about the new L dot is that it's going to be overly Vril heavy. The last few appearances of L have pretty much been Vril walking on screen, snarking off and then walking off. We haven't really had a chance to see any of the other characters that make the concept really interesting to me.<BR/><BR/>murrayMurrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08220614322314619468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18787738.post-88950537956551751562008-10-05T07:01:00.000-05:002008-10-05T07:01:00.000-05:00I'm one of those like liked L.E.G.I.O.N. It was a...I'm one of those like liked L.E.G.I.O.N. It was a lot darker and more mature and I've always considered it the "Adults" Legion, in contrast to the proper Legion which I consider as the teen/young adult Legion. There are many counter balances which seperte the two into a nice tasty bundle. <BR/><BR/>The LoSH is found on a group's ideas and the membes co-op on friendly terms, while L-DOTS is founded on a single person's idea with everyone else pulled into it regardless of what THEY want or think. L-DOTS can get away with allure, swearing, blood and death to a respectable levels while LoSH has to keep all that tamed to minium to avoid problems. Overall L-DOTS is a darker toned series while LoSH is of a lighter tone. L-DOTs also makes the reader believe that the universe is really hostle and shows the work the heroes of its day are up against whereas the LoSH shows the end product of a thousand years of progress. <BR/><BR/>Though primary I think the three characters that made L-DOTS (and I'd struggle to accept a new one without them) were Vril, Stealth and Lobo. If two of those three were in, thats fine. Without Stealth, Vril has no counter balance to his character who attempts to resist his dominate personnality. Without Vril, Stealth is too tarty/bitchy to be likeable. Those two on their own are good enough but without Lobo, you don't get the "random" tensions, you just get the "expected" tensions. Lobo's release in R.E.B.E.L. only worked because the storyline was kept intense and there were not many issues left after it in which the reader was allowed to grow to miss him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18787738.post-73278910742539322662008-10-02T19:13:00.000-05:002008-10-02T19:13:00.000-05:00I think it was my observation that LSH #50 and 3 W...I think it was my observation that LSH #50 and 3 Worlds #5 and the last month of the 50th anniversary were all bunched up almost together. 3 Worlds has gained a skip month, which I think now puts its last issue just after LSH #50, which marks the whole thing as that much clearer of a setup.<BR/><BR/>Realizing that LSH #50 would occur at the end of the Legion's 50th anniversary leads me to think that some pieces of this were planned out five years ago. In particular, that Keith Champagne issue and the Gail Simone 4-issue story that closed out The Legion after DnA's last issue: bet you $5 that they were add-ons to make the 50's line up right.Jim Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09985074692838465567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18787738.post-53555887985629958252008-10-01T23:43:00.000-05:002008-10-01T23:43:00.000-05:00ridiculously different animals.L.E.G.I.O.N. was a ...ridiculously different animals.<BR/><BR/>L.E.G.I.O.N. was a lame trendy attempt at tying the LSH to the 20th century DCU.<BR/><BR/>as a fairly AR legion completist, have finally judged them not worth collecting, save the lar, jo guest issues. we thought phase was tinya forever (who's who thought so too, but who's who also thought tyroc was actually from brigadoooooooooon). and i suppose that the jittery blob *IS* RJ, but really... is he RJ *enough*?<BR/><BR/>BAH!

I have no reason to NOT believe you, I'm just skeptical due to the odd nature and sole source of the story.<BR/><BR/>But regardless, it's a moot point now anyway.<BR/><BR/>And as for LSH/L.E.G.I.O.N., I don't believe it's splitting hairs. Two different teams, one in the future and one in the present. That's like saying it would be splitting hairs for mixing up the JLA and JSA because they both have "Justice" and "America" in their names.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15001530336692435773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18787738.post-201636086348698082008-10-01T04:28:00.000-05:002008-10-01T04:28:00.000-05:00Shooter did quit at the beginning of the year.

Because he'd written enough in advance, no beat was missed.<BR/><BR/>This comes from a number of DC creators, including certain individuals involved with Legion books.<BR/><BR/>So, "so much actually".<BR/><BR/>And LSH/L.E.G.I.O.N. is splitting hairs in this context, surely?Rich Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08094139982498797455noreply@blogger.com
