Everything with Rose is underdeveloped and I'm confused about Rokk's recruitment. I think there's some good ideas present. I'm not a big fan of Bendis' dialogue but I'm having fun here. I want to know more about the Gold Lantern and what the Guardians are up to. I want to see Jo's struggles to lead both Rimbor and the Legion. I want to know what's going on with Mon. I want to see how Ayla fits in on the team. I think there is an interesting subtext added to making the Ranzz twins black. Especially as one is an anti-establishment radical and the other believes that one must change the system internally. The new Luornu and how she views her identity is super interesting. Nura's implication that she isnt just a "girl" can also be an interesting chsracter beat with respect to identity.Your issue with Imra pairing with Jon? Completely unhinged. I think these reviews are cringe btw. Screaming in caps lock about not caring? "This Legion Has No Heart"? I am begging you to go outside.

I have to agree that - the book seems to lack focus. We have a "Legion" but not THE "Legion." So much is different that it is difficult to care for the new stuff. <br /><br />I want a Legion with characters I recognize and care about. These guys? It's close enough to keep the name and the intellectual property, but that's about it. Just slapping the Legion name on it is not necessarily enough to get us to care.<br /><br />And if we don't care, we won't buy it.<br /><br />Yeah, I'll keep reading it (online, without paying). Some other media I follow (Legion of Substitute Podcasters) seem quite enamored of it.<br /><br />But I have to agree with you guys. This book is an unfocused mess.<br /><br />But the art really is pretty nice.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Boston Mossnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-15049299414454345922020-12-20T13:55:32.273-05:002020-12-20T13:55:32.273-05:00There is no questioning on the art (redesigns asid...There is no questioning on the art (redesigns aside), it is the script what is absent.<br />Speaking about absences, there is no LOS in the march solicitations.

That's the opposite of closed mindedness, BTW.

And seeing the way they basically put all of the characters in a blender relationship-wise & planetary ruler-wise (not to mention Mon-El with 3 kids???) for "just 'cuz" randomness has erased all further curiosity about this Bendis-fest of hubristic suck.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14267403631542001938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-51703273475731658712020-12-02T00:49:15.875-05:002020-12-02T00:49:15.875-05:00I only made it two issues in and stopped.

No focus and plot ideas going all over the place with no resolution. I am a big Legion fan starting before The Great Darkness Saga, bought the Adventure digest reprints, all archive volumes, and volumes after the archives I find nothing enjoyable in Bendis' Legion. I glance at new issues and can't convince myself to waste money on them. Reading your reviews has justified my stance. We haven't had a new Legion title for years and DC throws this garbage to us. Give Superman to Waid and Legion to Jurgens, I'll buy them both.Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002276987757769992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-85308454578530724112020-12-01T18:43:58.379-05:002020-12-01T18:43:58.379-05:00You guys should probably recruit Anj or someone el...You guys should probably recruit Anj or someone else who actually likes modern Legion comics rather than continuing the monthly grumpfest...Jeff R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358424612424285729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-73224721935618860872020-11-30T21:40:04.716-05:002020-11-30T21:40:04.716-05:00I haven't trusted DC enough to purchase any ne...I haven't trusted DC enough to purchase any new Legion comic in years, but am conflicted by the level of entertainment derived from reading your reviews of their execrable rehashes of the concept while feeling sorry for you subjected yourselves to them.

I gave up after 6 issues and that awful Millennium waste of time and money (so I guess 8 or 9 issues total that I wasted good money on? Can't remember how long Millennium ran). I kept reading reviews hoping against hope that it would improve, but I guess instead it just got even less tolerable. On the bright side, DC reboots things every 5 or so years now, so I figure as soon as Bendis gets bored and moves on, the Legion will be revamped yet again. Maybe next time...SherylAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12305053850898181542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-71073960812246394152020-11-30T15:36:11.874-05:002020-11-30T15:36:11.874-05:00I think that was just Rose being glib
