Good evening owls of /co/,
more, more Vril
so smug
>I have other reasons for disliking the Legion, tho. I have watched as they became almost the Poster People for things that have gone wrong in comics over the past several decades. As characters introduced as kids barely into their teens turned into Babes and Hunks and started getting all grim and matrimonial. For a series set in the future, and therefore not bound in any way to real time this is absolutely absurd. But, of course, it's hard to draw realistic kids, and much more fun to draw chicks with big hooters.
Oh Byrne!!!
>>81311826
bitches love Vril
>>81311881
LOL
>>81311881
>and much more fun to draw chicks with big hooters.
Yes, and?
>>81311881
You can pry sexy Cosmic Boy from my cold dead hands, Byrne
>>81311893
yes, Hawkman fucked her up during I forget which Rann/Thanagar mini it was
>>81311881
>Byrne angry because the Legion are no longer pre-pubescent
Colour me surprised.
>>81311893
Byrne getting real mad at Grell Legion is cracking me up
>>81311881
That's nothing, his main reason for hating them is even better
> Most folk 'round these parts know I have no fondness for the Legion. I was "present at conception", having read the story that introduced them when it was first published. My younger self -- often the butt of cruel tricks played by the other kids at school -- instantly hated these punks from the future for the trick they played on Superboy. My older self has never quite been able to get over it.
The John Byrne Says twitter is also a goldmine
>>81311999
>They bullied Superboy! Just like my high school bullies!
oh Byrne
>>81311999
Good lord, he's like a successful Dobson.
>>81311999
Yeah, that twitter is really something
>>81312026
>>81311999
Reminds me of something Dobson would rant about.

Surely one of these days Marvel will run out of ideas for events and crossovers?
I mean we got Civil War II in form of Minority Report so maybe we're half way there
>>81312247
I will never understand why anyone gives a shit about Gwen Stacy
> When I was getting into comics professionally, there was a phrase I heard WAY too often. Basically, variations on "If I had superpowers I'd use them to kick ass!!" It was fortunately understood that the job of superheroes was not to "kick ass" but to uphold the ol' truth and justice. Alas -- and I must offer a BIG mea culpa here -- characters like Wolverine became so popular that writers and editors began turning ALL the characters into Wolverine. Which rather misses the point of the whole "anti-hero" concept. There'd be nothing special about James Bond if everybody in the books behaved like him!
Even when he posts something that I agree with he has to make sure it's known how responsible HE is. His ego really is out of control

Hello Storyteller.
>that cover
One has to wonder if it gets cold on Thanagar.
>>81312418
what are people freaking out about on LoT?
>>81312030
I mean, Byrne actually puts effort into art and excels at it, you have to give him that.
>>81312418
I fucking love Xylon. I love that he just decides that Doc and company are his new warband.
>>81312506
Maybe the plot finally moved forward.
>>81312500
Hawks give no fucks about things like petty environmental distractions
our Psion here has quite the plot coming up

>>One of the most explosive sagas in comics history! Peter Parker's world is rocked like never before by the return of his clone, long thought dead. For years, the clone has lived in peace as "Ben Reilly," but now he will be drawn back into wall-crawling action as the Scarlet Spider! But who or what is Kaine? Both Peter and Ben will be caught in a web of death spun by the Jackal, and their power and responsibility will be tested to the limits as the villain's game of smoke and mirrors raises the question: just who is the real Amazing Spider-Man?

I loved these two.their fight with Lobo is fantastic.
>>81312595
god, that's a lot of comic
>>81312083
And yet they've yet to update the things I give a shit about.
>>81312582
God clearly loves us and wants us to travel the galaxy.
>>81312595
Clone Saga is really frustrating because you can easily see how it could've been good. .
>>81311881
So wait, you don't like the Legion because they eventually grow up, and because they exist in the future? The hell are you talking about?
>>81311999
How is John Byrne of all people unaware of the concept of superdickery? Everyone was an asshole in the Silver Age.
>My older self has never quite been able to get over it.
Try. You might look like less of a tool for once.
>>81312719
did Bendis compress it competently in USM?
>>81312719
Kind of screwy, I've enjoyed every Clone Saga thing I've read.
The worst I could say is some of the interactions with The Jackal, Pete and Ben were confusing.
Because the Jackal only lies when his lips are moving.
>>81312799
>So wait, you don't like the Legion because they eventually grow up, and because they exist in the future? The hell are you talking about?
Byrne doesn't like change
>>81312799
He obviously wants young and juvenile, with their perfect prepubescent bodies untouched, undeveloped, and ripe for the taking... uh, what were we talking about again?

That reminds me.My favorite thing to do when people try to tell me Marvel is pure innocent happy funland is to bring up the exploding schoolbus.I'm being extremely unfair, of course, but it happened and you get a new and amazing rationalization for it every time.
>>81313095
If we can't romance a qt Drell girl in the new one I'm dropping all things Bioware forever.
>>81312799
/co/ isn't complete joking when they call Byrne a pedo.
>>81313095
actually, that will be plot-relevant later on
>>81313227
poor Salaak
he's still alive, right?
>>81313109
>acknowledging that planets are large enough for more than one group to settle on
FINALLY! A sci-fi story that doesn't treat planets as if they were tiny adventure towns! I mean, it's not much of an example, but it's something.
>>81313244
Any GL is alive if someone forgets their dead/alive status and puts them in a spread.
>>81313244
Yeah. He's been demoted to background Lantern lately.
>>81313109
This is such a powder keg I can't even properly describe it.
>>81313244
Hmmm, a pulsar...and a grave...
>>81313312
Is that who I think it is?
>>81313312
DAMMIT LYRL
>>81313312
Oh shit, it's the Luck Lords!
>>81313297
Blackfire/Vril: who doms?
>>81313244
He is, but iirc Kilowog does Salaak's job now for whatever reason
>>81313413
>FART 1
>>81313413
Physically Blackfire. Mentally,it'll be a constant tug of war.
>>81313413
I can't tell, they're both so dominating.
>>81313312
>>81313383
>take Solaris
>make him Pulsar Stargrave
For what purpoise?
>>81313431
whyyyy, that's not what Kilowog is good at
Damn, I miss Guy having the bar
>>81313413
Blackfire, I think
Vril doms everybody on a regular basis, in bed somebody else could take over especially somebody like Blackfire
>>81313431
Kilowog took over Salaak's job so that John Stewart could take over Kilowog's job because reasons
>>81313227
You'd think Starfire would be used to politics, being a princess and all.
>He is like she.
Is Blackfire going to try to get in Vril's pants?
>>81313244
>L.E.G.I.O.N poses a direct threat to the Corps.
Not really, Salaak. I mean, they're competition, but otherwise not a full on enemy.
>>81313413
Vril. Blackfire really just wants to be pushed around.
Though I have to imagine Vril would have certain hang ups about getting to close to violent, orange women.
>>81313468
>>81313478
Right, physically she wins, but Vril is kind of the definition of "tops from the bottom"
>>81311881
I actually kind of agree with this? I feel dirty.
I know some people say that the best thing about the Legion is that they grow up and stay dead and whatever, but that's what makes them impenetrable.
>>81313503
>>You'd think Starfire would be used to politics, being a princess and all.
Tamaran wasn't terribly political, and again, their people valued being open about their emotions.
>>81312083
Can't wait until they digitize that crazy Star Sapphire demon pregnancy story.
>>81313513
that ship is FUCKING METAL
>>81313581

>>81313383

Dammit, Lyrl. And here we all thought Querl could be a pain sometimes.
>>81313529
>impenetrable
What's so impenetrable about "these people married, these people died"?
>>81313529
See, for me, it's more irksome that they get older but don't really grow up. Like the bad parts of TT.
>>81313608
Lyrl: still a little shit.
>>81313002
>>81313026
>dat Strange ass
>>81313485
>whyyyy, that's not what Kilowog is good at
because FUCK YOU! Venditti does what he wants even if what he wants is nonsensical and a bad idea!
>Damn, I miss Guy having the bar
We all do
the new GLC book is going to be overflowing with characters but apparently John Stewart is going to lead the GLC now because one human dude can totally do the job that several omniscient immortals couldn't, I wonder what Guy will do
>>81313617
It's just a lot of backstory to pick up. Doesn't help when you're trying to pick up some dull as dirt Levitz issue that's nothing but exposition about everyone's divorces.
>>81313763
Are you talking about the new52 Legion? Because that was just bad.
>>81313647
LET BEAST BOY GROW UP
>>81313817
It's so weird, TT TV kind of accidentally riffed on that with the future episode, where he was doomed to become a pathetic sideshow version of himself in his prime.
>>81313812
Yeah. That was the sorriest excuse for an entry point I've ever seen.
>>81313687
(We'll read Adventure later; this happens then)
>>81313869
let's ship it
>>81313383
Lyrl why
>>81313918
Bless her heart
>>81313964
I miss the other R.E.C.R.U.I.T.S
>>81313817
Beast Boy and Raven are going to be stuck in Teen Titans for for-fucking-ever.
Raven almost stayed "dead" until the show came out and they deaged her.
>>81313964
She doesn't even have to wear the Sexy Space Apache outfit anymore. Net plus.
>>81314018
sniffle
>>81314036
I'm surprised that Titans has Lilith, that's old-school
>>81313869
I'm still hoping that they somehow manage to get Braniac 4 into this. That preview in an earlier issue showed that Querl will join the fun soon, but I'll be disappointed if his mom doesn't show up.
>>81314070
>>81314070
Teen Titans seems to be their NTT book so maybe the Titans book will be old school and more obscure characters?
>>81314070
What other waifu are you going to throw in? Sacred Cow Terra? Freaking Argent?
>>81314110
those TT preview pages are so cartoony, that's a break in style
>>81314132

I'm surprised by how much I like that art
I hope he does have a more lighthearted story/interactions so the art at least fits
>>81314155
Speaking of. ACO's Mr. Stroke confirms, sexy silver fox with hax sexy hair.

Dammit, Vril. Lyrl gets this shit from you, you know.
>>81314076
4 isn't the mom in the Retroboot, sadly. It does get explained in that Adventure story though.
>>81314295
nice, can't wait to see what he's doing
>>81314295
I hope the vertigo rumor is true since he'd probably fit there
>>81314295
Can we just pace him out so he gets a mini every year? Single issues just make me thirsty for something I'll never have.
>>81314235
Actually, if they could make a version of Joker's Daughter that isn't terrible, she would be a neat wildcard member, fitting with the whole legacy thing.
>>81314295

Lame.
>>81314427
The only well-adjusted Brainy was Archie Brainy 2.0 on time drugs.
>>81314404
>>81313964
>Is everything Dox does meant to manipulate?

>>81314675
you knew this was coming, but it's a fun transition anyways
>>81314650
>>81314659
>>81314675
I know right the comic came out one year after season 2 was over.
>>81314728
>>81314714
I think he's supposed to have naturally white hair his whole life or some Mary Sue bullshit. Hence Rose having the same hair despite being a teen.
>>81313244

Come on Lyrl, use your brain. You know that's just going to backfire.
>>81314845
>I want sweet moe Joey back
I want sweet moe Joey being gay with Dick
>>81314845
Remember how Adeline and Joey were alive in New 52 so Justin Jordan took advantage of the fresh start to kill them again?
>>81314927
Rebirth could just ignore that, right?
>>81314927
Let's just ignore everything about that plot, especially what they did to Aunt Madge
>>81314956
Judging by that Rose design they're going to ignore a lot of Deathstroke-related stuff from early new 52
>>81314986
>>81314956
They could ignore everything and Joey could be a nice, gentle young artist who just happens to enter guys a lot. That's one rehash I'd take every single time.
>>81314927
I think Joey is on the cover for the last Deathstroke so who eve knows what's happening
>>81315008
here comes bad daddy
>>81314956
More likely it will just continue to ignore them.
>>81314956
I'm pretty sure it's ignoring everything with Rose. Although I don't even remember where she left off.
>>81314927
>>81314956
I prefer to ignore Justin Jordan's DC stuff where I can, so that works for me
>>81315036
>>81315012
Now this is something I can get behind
It's 2016, we can have all types of gay guys
Didn't Wolfman use the Convergence NTT thing to make Joey gay?
>>81315056
>facepalm
>>81315063
>Didn't Wolfman use the Convergence NTT thing to make Joey gay?
yep, he signed that he was gay at one point
>>81314675
Khund porn is my kind of porn
>>81315063
Joey literally signed it. It was finally the right time, I'm glad Wolfman got to resolve that on his own terms.
Remember when Brainiac was an alien spirit possessing a circus psychic?
>>81315071
>>81315129
What number is he? Brainiac B, for Byrne?
>>81314563
Something I've always wondered about. I swear in one of the old Lobo runs it was mentioned that Lobo worked for Vril because Vril had "beaten" him somehow, and very nearly shut down his healing factorsince at one point Lobo literally split into clones when he got wounded
I always assumed that Vril had beaten him in combat, especially since in those old runs Brainie was pretty damn ripped. But it seems like the only Brainiac with any combat prowess is the first one, so what gives?
>>81315147
is Vril actually nervous?
>>81315194
Vril learned to fight from the Durlan
>>81315219
and the fight with Lobo is in an early L.E.G.I.O.N. '89 issue
>>81315194
Dox beefed himself up when he got a new clone body so that helped him win
>>81315194
Vril pulled some crazy shit to win that fight.
>>81315233
>>81315277
>>81315292
>>81315219
>>81315268
>>81315276
Alright, cool.
>>81315314
>>81314237
i know he's completely justified in this but damn vril you petty
>>81315292
>You have your secret weapon, I have to go get mine
I'M VERY EXCITED NOW
>>81315350
if you haven't read L.E.G.I.O.N. '89-94, it's amazing and has great Lobo in it too
>>81315478
it's like taking shots of Malört!
>>81315478
That series wouldn't make it past 8 issues nowadays, unless it had a writer like Johns or Snyder attached.
>>81315510
would it be mean to leave it here for the night?
>>81315510
Oh shit, Lobo's back?
>>81315532
Really mean.
>>81315532
Whose ring is that anyway?
>>81315532
>they never did anything with Lobo and his red ring
I'm still mad
>>81315556
I am not mean tonight!
>>81315589
>>81315585
I forget where in Johns GL he picked it up, but he had a hilarious slapfight with Carol
>>81315585
Nobody's. Atrocitus gave it to him.
>>81315626
>>81315585
Atrocitus gave it to him as payment for helping him out by staging a fight
>>81315626
Somebody's channeling Bisley here...
>>81315626
>Finch painted art
Ah yes, remember when that was a thing?
>>81315478
Anyone got links for it?
>>81315626
that was a great issue
>>81315532
>Blue girls
Awww, Lobo do you miss Lyrissa and Lydea?
>>81315532
The moment I've been waiting for literally since I started the comic has arrived.
>>81315666
oh gosh
>>81315626
>Finch
Ew. Away with you.
>>81315532
Alan Grant's boner for Lobo made him outstay his welcome in the first series. It's nice that he's only a guest star here.
>>81315732
>>81315716
>unreadable scribble whisper
Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame!
>>81315716
remember when Carol was good? pepperidge farm remembers
>>81315804
in this case it's a good idea, now you can use your imagination to fill in Lobo's filthy sexual desires!
>>81315804
The first word seems to be "undead"
Knowing Lobo he's probably describing a Heavy Metal Record cover.
>>81315686
For a second, I thought it WAS Bisley.
>>81315739
I dunno, Lobo really helped set the dysfunctional family tone that made LEGION '89 so fun to read.
>>81315763
>>81315727
No. But I do.
I hope the story comes up with some excuse to go to Talok VIII. It'd be nice to see how Lydea's doing.
>>81315739
Finch's painted art is pretty good.
>>81315853
>>81315845
I miss good Carol
>>81315849
Nah, he's literally saying "unreadable scribble whisper"
>>81315906
>>81315921
Lyrl, you have no grounding to bitch
>>81315906
Someone, just freaking take her away from the GL franchise for a year. Let her hang out with literally anyone else, dom some rando, or dom Baz if you have to keep it in the family.
>>81315974
>>81315906
me too
>>81315985
>if you have to keep it in the family
keeping it in the family is one reason she's been so shitty lately
she's on the cover for HJGLC but considering Venditti's track record with her nothing good will happen
>>81315997
>OH, NO.
oh, lol
>>81315974
>And you left me to die!
You tried to kill him... You petulant little asshole.
>>81315985
>let her hang out with literally anyone else

>>81315997
I love how this whole thing is set up.

Yeah, but Baz is Lebanese thug retard moe. You can't get more not her regular type.
>>81316141
>Seriously, she's got a ring and a business
Why does nobody ever play up the businesswoman aspect? She makes airplanes for a living. Anyone who says that's not an interesting platform for stories needs to be slapped.

>>81316169
or she could just be single and hang out with some lady friends

Baz is the exact inverse of Hal, though, because he's legitimately trying to not get in trouble and shit just keeps happening because of the dojikkoforce.
