Wildfire/Starboy/Queen Projectra
Great Darkness
I only have the Great Darkness and Curse trades, dunno the rest. What other LOSH stories are essential?
never EVER
Yo
Saturn Girl, Jeckie, Cham, Wildfire, Comet Queen, and all of them basically
Universo Project, Who is Sensor Girl, and the first year of Threeboot are my favs
It's all good but can you answer other than Levitz/Giffen? I really like the Waid/Kitson stuff too. Reboot is solid and a great update of like kid stories (for example if you don't like silver age for some reason) and it gets lost in the shuffle a lot
Hopefully Telos bombing means we'll get a good writer to pick em up.coughTom Kingcough
Saturn Girl, Cosmic Boy, Lightning Lad, Brainy, Phantom Girl, Dream Girl, Jeckie, Starboy, MEL, Polar Boy, Sun Boy, Gates, man there's so many good ones it's hard to pick a favorite. If I had to pick one I think I'd go with Saturn Girl
Who Is Sensor Girl and Great Darkness Saga are pretty great, I wish I could remember more of the other bigger arcs I've read but those two stick out to me
There'll be a LOSH book again eventually, I'm sure of it, but starting the book up again is going to be a hard task and I don't envy whoever eventually ends up doing it

Mah nigga.
Giffen and Levitz get a lot of love, but I honestly prefer Reboot, especially the initial Peyer run. Moy's art is adorable, by the way.
I was really hoping Telos was going to act as a lead in to more cosmic stuff, but nope. Fuck having nice things.
Is it me or is Element Lad a prick? he is super moody in the Levitz/Giffen stories I've read.
LOSH reading list?
>>78614177
All of it except for the stretch from when Giffen leaves volume 4 to the reboot
>>78613765
He's very aloof/spiritual that I can see could be read as prick-ish
>>78614293
Smooth, Val. Smooth.
Still mad that Jeckie and Val never hooked up in Reboot. Xeno love is still love, dammit.
Saturn Girl, Dreamy, XS

the number of cis, white relationships is one of my big problems with Legion, and I say that as someone who loves like ALL those relationships!
It's the future!! Where are all the LGBT +whatever's added in 1000 years +alien relationships !
>>78615309
I'm not disagreeing but are you trying to get trolled?
>>78615309
Well, yeah, I agree. It is the future after all.
There was some pretty strong implications of Brainy x Lyle in Reboot, so that's something.
>>78615309
Whenever they bring back the LOSH they really should tweak some of them like that, the future shouldn't look like two dozen straight white humans and a token alien or two
Add in some LGBT stuff (and it's the FUTURE, add in some xeno sexuality that isn't a thing at ALL on 2015 Earth), change a few ethnicities, add in more xeno and aliens, etc. it's a big cast, even if you changed a dozen characters there'd still be a lot ofdiversitybut that'd still leave a bunch of white people so the "sjws ruining muh comics" crowd wouldn't have as much grounds for complaining
>>78615436
it's a legion thread. no one gives enough of a fuck to troll
also i forgot to include straight in the complaining list but the legion has also had okish??? gay relationships so it's a wash
>>78615464
There's also qt3.14 space lesbians.
>>78615504
It seems like the problem is every reboot adds a few tokens but takes away the last reboot's progress.
Like, there was Tyroc and Dawnstar, then the reboot got rid of them and added XS, then Threeboot got rid of them and made Star Boy black.
>>78615504
So basically Gates/XS hard-core bugfucking?
>>78615616
>There's also qt3.14 space lesbians.
Didn't Nu52 FINALLY make Ayla x Salu canon? Goodness knows the thirst was obvious since the later years of Pre-Boot.
>Tyroc
Uh, to be fair, not many are too upset about the lack of Tyroc.
>>78615690
It was some time in Retroboot, maybe before New 52.
>>78613262
Sexual Harassment Tinya
Great Darkness, easily, but I do have a fondness for the Grimbor/Reflecto storyline, and the arc with the Legion of Super Villains where Val dies.
Giffen-Levitz
>>78615959
>Sexual Harassment Tinya
I refuse to believe Shadowcat isn't based on Tinya. There's coincidence, and then there's blatant copying.
Although, Kitty doesn't have the most asshole mom ever.
>>78616151
Aren't a ton of X-men characters based on unused Legion ideas?
>>78613262
Brainiac-5
Reboot
Waid or Peyer, Reboot
Not looking great.
>>78615688
Gates is too good for this impure universe.
>>78615504
I want to see deviant Winathian twins mating with sibling-less aliens. Garth starts to date Imra, Ayla comes along and is all "Cool, but where's my partner? Oh well, I'm willing to share."
>>78616451
Is it wrong that I only pay any attention to Legion because of the sexy ladies?
>>78616574
It's a shame not to pay attention to any of the sexy guys.
I just started watching the cartoon. It turns out it's amazing.
>>78616264
Nightcrawler and Storm were. Although she was supposed to be a cat person, which is why she was always drawn with weird cat eyes in early X-Men.
>>78617115
I like MEL but only for the lulz
>>78616013
She needs to be in more Flash shit.
>>78615690
>Didn't Nu52 FINALLY make Ayla x Salu canon?
They were pretty canon in 5YL, there's a scene where a bunch of them are playing poker/cards and someone says Ayla has a good hand and Vi is like "You're telling me"
>>78616473
A hypothetical new ongoing should have Ricken on art.
>>78619910
Oh shit, I just realized that's an actual possibility now.
Last DC work she's done is on Teen Titans, what a waste.
>>78617569
They need to unfuck Bart and figure out where she fits in.
Dawnstar and Wildfire are the shit
>>78621165
They can have her be like a time cop and reveal the Bart now isnt the real one. She goes to expose him and after sending him back, she can stay and learn from her grandfather.
>>78622561
So basically replace him as Kid Flash
>>78622608
Not necessarily but if that what it lends to
>>78617261
Sauce? Been scouring the internet for it due to nostalgia (and found some good stuff from circa 2005).
>>78615690
There was an annual before the nu52 in the retro boot which made it obvious. Also there was an issue that had them sleeping in the same bed also pre 52.
>>78613262
Brainy, Timberwolf
Death of Ferro Lad, Great Darkness

Why not?

Thank you for replying anon, but I meant where can I watch the episodes in the interwebs? Do I have to stoop so low as to pay youtube?

>>78621165
Honestly just ignore the guy in Teen Titans and use real Bart Allen and not Bar-Torr. It doesn't need explanation beyond that.
They need to get Venditti off Flash before they do anything else though.
Tyroc isn't unsalvageable probably! Just ignore everything but a black dude with sound powers.
>>78626530
Do you have the one about Ultra Boy?
>>78625041
>The Private Lives of Bouncing Boy and Duo Damsel Revealed
A lot of teenage boys must have been disappointed by that story.
>>78626757
>>78626757
I think that's what they were doing. He was in that Legion Lost series with a nicer costume.
>>78626147

My favorite, followed by...
>>78629182
... him!
>>78629195
Are those two really the guys who should be holding back Wildstar?
>>78613262
I'm not super into Legion, but I really like the 2 iterations of Chameleon Boy that I read.

>Reboot is solid and a great update of like kid stories
Reboot was my Legion, I know it gets lost in the shuffle and thought of as the 'Archie Legion' because of its lighthearted tone, but I really loved it.
Top ten legionnaires in no order except the first: Gates, Shrinking Violet, Sensor, Starboy, Magno, Phantom Girl, XS, Brainiac 5, Thunder, and Karate Kid.
Favorite story is Legion Lost, though I have a soft spot for Legion of 3 Worlds, both as a last hurrah for the Reboot and Threeboot Legions, and the last big project outside of finishing that NTT Graphic Novel that George Perez has done.
>>78629974
>Wildstar
Huh?
>>78632726
Shit, >Wildfire.
I blame the name of that image and the years since I read a Legion comic.
>Favorite Legionnaires
Jeckie, Imra, Dreamy, Wildfire, Brainy
Tried to limit it down to 3 but it's impossible for me.
>Favorite Story
Great Darkness probably. Universo Project is also amazing.
>Favorite Run
Levitz/Giffen. Early Reboot is also wonderful.
>New ongoing when?
I don't know. I really don't know.
>>78613765
Element Lad is weird. He doesn't get his definitive attitude as 'the spiritual one' until late in the Levitz/Giffen run, decades after his creation.
>>78613765
>Is it me or is Element Lad a prick?
Have you read Reboot Legion?
>>78632784
This
So what's everyone's favorite Era? Mine would probably be all of the first Reboot Legion.
Phantom Girl, Ferro, Gates, Xs, Brainy, plus Wildstar x Dawny because muh ship.
I have to say, after hearing all the hype for it, actually reading Legion Lost was a major disappointment. I mean, it had some really nice story ideas in it, but overall it was pretty dull. And the art was a bit wonky.
>>78636017
I can't pick between LEvitz/Giffen or Reboot, I love them both
I've been meaning to check up on the showcase presents volumes of Legion, especially the Shooter era, what volume would you say has the best stories?
best couple?
