Good evening owls of /co/,
Now it's the time when having read every Legion comic ever pays off, goddammit.

(this leads into LotW proper)
>>81066765
Hello Storyteller.
Yay, we get rewarded for being a bunch of total fucking nerds!
Dawny looks thoroughly unimpressed with Superboy Prime punching reality.
>>81066795
>>81066833
>Dawny looks thoroughly unimpressed with Superboy Prime punching realit
> Are we going to have to kill The Time Trapper again?
>>81066854
Daaamn, Garth didn't skip arms day
>>81066833
Speaking of SBP punching reality, I really hope we see him again soon
HI STORYTELLER
>>81066854
i LOVE Garth's tattoo
This issue is pretty fun. Bruce is like a jealous bf.
>>81066948
"like"?
>>81066973
AHHH, that's where it came from
so what's up in the world of owls today?
>>81066973
true
>I never got what you saw in Batman
>>81066973
Bruce why do you make that sound so evil. that hardly moves the scale of Legion dickishness.
I want a Damien/Legion team up so bad
>>81066866
>>Are we going to have to kill The Time Trapper again?
Y'know, if the narrator is who I think it is, they probably will, actually.
>>81066854
>>81066902
These scenes of Clark paling around with Legionnaires are so, for lack of a better word, comfy.
>>81066973
>making it sound like bringing wally back to life is a bag thing
fucking johns and his barrys
>>81067009
>Damien/Legion team up so bad
Young Justice/Legion please. We already know how they feel about Impulse and Superboy
Or do we? I don't understand continuity anymore
>>81067002
oh gosh look at that little Jay up there
Oops, I missed those BatB issues. We'll swing back for that plot in a bit.
>>81066948
Well they are gay
>>81067002
I stubbed my big toe like three times today so the tip of it is really black and blue
>>81067049
>>81067049
Reminder!
>>81066973
That's not true Garth! You knew at least like three people who wore masks!
>>81067049
>absolutely NO regard for adults
luv u 4ever 3boot
>>81067009
Mid 2000s. He's still smarting from Identity Crisis and he's gonna have trust issues related to it until 52.
>>81067076
I think this is the Countdown plot that we skipped because I am a merciful Storyteller, yes?
>>81067076
oh no countdown spoilers
>>81067135
>>81067002
Busy cleaning my apartment for my parents who are visiting for the Easter holiday weekend.I'm debating whether or not to put away my toku and comics figures or not
Going to see BvS here in about an hour too.
>>81067167
DAMMIT GARTH
'Electrocutioner' is a baller villain name
>>81067167
Huh, speaking of plots that remind me of 5YL.
>>81067002
the weather here suddenly turned all shitty just in time for me to drive home on the interstate but then magically got better as soon as I was home
thanks, weather!
also still waiting on news about new job
>>81067192
mrrrrow!
>>81067171
>I'm debating whether or not to put away my toku and comics figures or not
Leave them out. Don't hide your power levels, anon!I have a large Sinestro statue above my fireplace and I left it out when I threw a birthday party for my grandma. I regret nothing
>>81067237
>>81067076
.... Batman seems to greatly overestimate Garth. I mean, yeah, he's not stupid, but he ain't exactly a chessmaster.
>>81066920
I do kinda miss Superboy Prime as well. We don't really have any classical heel villains who we're meant to hate. As nice as it is to have some depth to our bad guys these days, sometimes you just want to boo.
>>81067262
Starman time!
we need more Opal City in our lives
>>81067237
See. Trust issues. Though he's got a point here, Garth is just daring the universe to Bradbury Effect the shit out of everything.
>>81067302
KK is dead, again.
somewhere, Keith Giffen chuckles softly
>>81067302
>we need more Opal City in our lives
>No Apollo/Mikaal Opal City Adventures
why live
>>81067302
I love Thom, but he's not a good representation of Schizophrenia. He's vague plot foreshadowing vehicle with a few cute moments.
should i try to puzzle out how classic Garth knows about Threeboot Karate Kid and Triplicate Girl who were apparently on a mission for a cure? who i think just blooped out of 3boot?
>>81067302
NotJesse Quick was headed there on this week's Flash.
>>81067327
dammit Thom
>>81067135
yeah this is the one that catches us up on the relevant plots there
>>81067327
Did we ever find out how Karate Kid came back to life to begin with? Assuming that Lightning Saga happened after Legion v4 #5?
>>81067365
>NotJesse Quick was headed there on this week's Flash.
I would kill to get a Knight into the CWverse, but the last few episodes of Flash have been really disappointing in playing things very safe and boring when they could do more interesting things with the source material. So I doubt it'll happen without Johns lobbying behind it.
37 out 57 Digital rips
>>81067348
>but he's not a good representation of Schizophrenia
not at all, but it's preferable IMO to "dangerous, unpredictable, useless loon" depictions
>>81067391
Garth should really always be scruffy
>>81067417
hnnng, digital L.E.G.I.O.N., too
>>81066833
>Dawny looks thoroughly unimpressed with Superboy Prime punching reality.
Mon-El already did the "fucking up the timestream via punching"already.
>>81067429
Agreed. I'd rather take this over that version at least.
Looks like Jill Thompson's Wondy book will surface soon, I dig that cover art
http://www.bleedingcool.com/2016/03/24/jill-thompsons-wonder-woman-a-very-selfish-princess-to-be-published-digitally-then-collected-in-print/
>>81067438
"Better brother than Mekt" is a pretty low bar, honey.
>>81067237
>I don't trust time travelers.
Nigga, you don't trust ANYONE. You'd probably assume all of Gotham's hot dog street vendors are secretly a gang of criminals, and that the hot dogs are mind control devices.
>>81067135
>>81067167
If I recall correctly, Luornu and Val's deaths were really fucking lame.
>>81067412
My only hang up with Robinson Starman references is that the lore of DC is what makes that special.
could be cool tho
>>81067438
Oh my god he even signed it.
>>81067417
Nice
>>81067429
Very true
>>81067438
Very nice
>>81067348
He's not Schizophrenic, people just diagnose him as one because he knows he's being watched.
>>81067458
I've been waiting for more info that that.
And I do like that pic
>>81067465
also i know they're just writing for the nice moment, but singling out Supes kinda under cuts "Legion as family"
>>81067458
I hope she does enough material for a second Beasts of Burden hardcover. I think since the first collection there have been two one shots and a new one coming this summer
>>81067478
>You'd probably assume all of Gotham's hot dog street vendors are secretly a gang of criminals, and that the hot dogs are mind control devices.
to be fair that's a reasonable assumption in Gotham
>>81067458
So it IS happening, huh.
I've seen about the movie the hashtag #WheresPhillipus, which misspells her name, but then LoWW misspelled it. It's easy to remember if you know it's philia + hippeis, "lover of horses"
(no, not like THAT)
>>81067478
>You'd probably assume all of Gotham's hot dog street vendors are secretly a gang of criminals, and that the hot dogs are mind control devices.
In Gotham, this is not an altogether unreasonable assumption. Hell, Twoface did a similar thing, but with Ice Cream Vendors.
>>81067047
Pretty much everyone that was in Young Justice is unrecognizable now.
>>81067478
Batman gets over his time travel prejudice after 52 when he learns that booster Gold isn't just an idiot
>>81067546
man there's been 1 pic and like 6 cast members, maybe a little early for that kinda campaign?
>>81067546
>>81067601
it's never too early for the Internet to get mad!
>>81067458
Yaay! More potentially good Wondy!
>>81067622
YOU KNEW THIS WAS COMING
>>81067601
No! Four characters in a promo still is obviously representative of an entire film!
>>81067411
I think later on Jeckie mentions getting him back and losing him again so his first death is still canon
>>81067661
the cockroaches are a very nice touch
also Magog vs Starman???
>>81067192
What an edgy fucker.
I hope batman goes all BvS on him
>>81067365
>Threeboot Karate Kid
That isn't Threeboot Karate Kid.
>>81067601
I kind of get that. Might as well complain when they still have chance to change it?
>>81067458
About damn time. I had assumed it had been stealth cancelled.
>>81067546
>I've seen about the movie the hashtag #WheresPhillipus
What's this all about?
>>81067661
and now, three pages from Final Crisis
>>81067776
>and one time I went crazy and used it, and Tenzil had to eat it, and...
>>81067772
she's not in the promo pic with four Amazons, prompting intensive fussing about lack of diversity in major roles in the WW movie
>>81067776
oh man the (i'm assuming) reference to 2960 is great and i've never caught it
also look at that morrison brainy, what a run he could have.
>>81067746
man do i want to know?
>>81067806
>>81067806
What about the Native American guy?
>>81067806
>>81067772
Hey man, she's just my favorite Amazon.
>>81067776
I think this part actually takes place after Lo3W, or at least there's a point at the end where Brainy leads him away to do it.
No harm done though.
>>81067661
>Tie Trapper was the narrator
I knew it.
>>81067601
>>81067622
To be fair, I'm still mad that movie is even getting made. But then, I'm a bitchy fanboy, so whatever.
>>81067840
also seen on the twitter today: a totally American confusion of whether ethnic Spaniards from Spain count as "white people"
HERE WE FUCKING GO
>>81067776
Based on Supes' dialogue I think this takes place after LoTW.
>>81067910
>>81067880
She's a great character, I'm just also amused that the hashtag misspells her name
>>81067910
hold onto your butts
>>81067938
i loved these Legionnaire covers.even Dawny's weirdly cheesecakey one
>>81067917
fucking chronologist strikes again
>>81067910
>a totally American confusion of whether ethnic Spaniards from Spain count as "white people"
They do realize that "Spain" is actually a conglomerate of multiple different cultures and countries and has had influence from many different racial groups over the centuries.
Right.
RIGHT.
>>81067978
LOL
O

>>81067806
>she's not in the promo pic with four Amazons, prompting intensive fussing about lack of diversity in major roles in the WW movie
I'm surprised casuals even know who Philipus is. DC editorial barely remembers her or any other Amazon supporting characters.
Is one of those chicks in the promo shot Artemis at least?
>>81067978
Yeah, it's like when people say "Latino" is a race, shit's absurd.
>>81067992
This page reminds me of the Multiversity bugs narration.
>>81067993
>I'm surprised casuals even know who Philipus is
I saw Phil Jimenez retweeting it, he's not exactly a casual
>>81067992
Oh yeah, these guys. Remember them?
>>81067978
Every country is like that. But that's too hard to make knee-jerk reactions to, so you have to divide everything into "white" and "not white".
>>81068032
Hah, that's pretty neat. Kudos, Johns.
>>81068032
>>81068019
Might be on purpose. This is a tie-in to Grant's event and he was working on Multiversity for years anyway.
>>81067993
>>81068021
I don't think dcau counts
>>81068055
awwww shit
Ahhh, pervy George Perez, bless his heart
>>81067993
>Is one of those chicks in the promo shot Artemis at least?
Antiope's there, and I'm pretty sure she was the founder of Artemis' offshoot tribe but I didn't see any waist length ponytails, so it's not likely.
>>81067993
>Is one of those chicks in the promo shot Artemis at least?
Nope.
>>81068068
Did Multiversity have any Legion stuff in it? I can't remember but considering where the various teams are is at the end of 3 Worlds....
>>81068095
SBP is such a dick. An entertaining dick.
>>81068098
The picture is Diana's direct family. Antiope is her aunt, and the fourth one is Menalippe, who is also her aunt in this.
>>81068132
btw this is five oversized issues
>>81068132
I need him to come back so I can laugh at him.
>>81068132
I find it funny how SBP went from being a massive DC fanboy to hating all things DC.I wonder how he feels about Marvel, I mean Major
>>81068130
Not as a focus, they might have shown up in a background cameo in big group shots or something.
>>81068130
I think they had some cameos like in the guidebook spread, I remember a Cos for sure. Can't think of anything big though.
>>81068157
>Menalippe
Uh oh!
>>81068159
yeah it took like 2 years to come out. poor perez, tho he's still doing amazing work in this
>>81068172
>>81068174
Him not coming back and bitching about Nu52 and on is such a missed opportunity
>>81068159
YES CRAZY JIMMY SHIT
>>81068174
He finds all the cute/relatable comics deeply confusing
>>81068132
I always felt like he's a chore to read.
>>81068032
>Oh yeah, these guys. Remember them?
Unfortunately.
>>81068095
>I'm not a boy, I'm a MAN!!!
Maybe you should start acting like one.
>>81068174
>yfw he's probably the one leading the BvS shitposting storm right now
>>81068221
there used to be an insanely persistent Superman Sucks troll that i'm convinced was actually SBP
>>81068221
he surely IS
>>81068157
>Menalippe
Hmm
>>81068254
so many waifus and husbandos
>>81068221
The presence of SBP would make me 100% more inclined to see a movie.
>>81068159
HOLY SHIT. In one of the monitors on the right is Lori. Lori the Mermaid! Goddammit, Geoff!
>>81068172
>>81068206
We need SBP to come back and bitch about the reboot. Dude would shit himself over T-Shirt Supes.

He's not entirely wrong. Cos should always be pink.
>>81068312

>>81068208
should be two gorilla statues desuI think the second one is a werewolf sadly
>>81068390
>Cos should always be pink.
unless it's the Grell costume, then black is fine
>>81068419
Better yet, make his slutty costume pink.
>>81068442
oh shit, even better!
>>81068301
It's honestly really strange that the Legion isn't more popular on /co/, given how 4chan as a whole has become very waifu/husbando centric.

>>81068460
>>81068305
Well of course she's there, Lori's awesome.
>>81068472Deleted
>>81068454
She's Antiope's lieutenant in the movie, so I guess she won't be doing much oracling if any at all.
>>81068472
That's Blackest Night, it's got fuck all to do with Lo3W.
>>81068478

In fairness, the LoSV is the weakest part of the Legion's lore. It's literally the Legion but Evil and Old.
>>81068604
does Zod usually wear those goggles?
>>81068588
One thing I never liked about Retroboot is that they're adults now but they STILL call themselves "boy", "girl", "kid", etc. And they're even called out about it in-universe!
>>81068635
It did give us that amazing Giffen Last Supper page though.
>>81068635
yes, but Giffen drew them with Mekt as Jesus, and it was amazing
>>81068635
but eye for an eye is GOAT

>bringing up Mekt
Dick move.
This is honestly one of the weaker recurring aspects on Legion stories in my opinion. The idea that the UP is always trying to shun or otherwise get rid of the Legion because they're "outdated" or "unnecessary" or whatever. This is some Marvel civvies level of ungrateful whoreshit. And it happens in every single iteration.
>>81068743
Oh man, this guy
>>81068743
Being Dirk is suffering ;_;
bringing up current politics is dumb but these johns arcs have been playing it up and FUCK if I wouldn't love DC to put out a book about the Legion celebrating its diversity and whatnot nowadays.

Seemed like he was actually supposed to be delays fucked it up
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=17602
>The delay on “Last Son” really messed up a lot of stuff. I wasn’t originally going to use Chris Kent as much, but [“Action Comics” writer] Geoff [Johns] couldn’t use him because his story was in limbo at the time. So I was asked to use him just so it didn’t seem like he'd vanished completely.
>Originally, I think he was going to stick around at the end of “Last Son” and leave at a later point. I think that later point involved the "Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes" story, but as it turned out that story came out before “Last Son” concluded. Whatever Geoff had planned for Chris in that other story wasn't able to be done because he needed to get “Last Son” finished before he moved forward with Chris, and so events that should have already been shown, and should have been able to bleed over into other arcs, couldn’t, because of the schedule snafus.
>>81068870
That was some weird stuff.
