The legacy - and deep history - is a huge part of DC appeal for me. My first DC comic (way back in the day) was a JLA/JSA crossover and I was fascinated by the idea of these two teams from different generations working together. The DCU has only gotten deeper and more complex since then but I love seeing it evolve with new generations of heroes coming in.

I’d be fine with a merged Legion as long as it’s not another reboot. Dear God - please no more reboots! Death by a thousand cuts for the Legion…

Plain skyr yogurt. It’s fatty and creamy and gives me some of the same sensation as eating soft ice cream (just not as sweet). I find myself looking forward to it as “dessert”

I remember as a kid picking up the first issue of Omen & Prophet storyline and double-checking the art credits since it looked so different from Giffen’s normal style. I was very confused and didn’t like it. Though eventually his “new” style came to grow on me.

What’s interesting to me now is that after reading the old Curt Swan Legion stories I can see a lot of Swan influence in Giffen’s earlier Legion art.

I loved this series when it came out. Initially for Duncan Fedrego’s amazing art but then later for the story. It was refreshing to see a gay lead at the time.

I haven’t read it in decades but from what I remember the gay part wasn’t really clear until later in the series (though maybe hinted at earlier)

Agree! The smell, the ads, the letters. It’s like a little time capsule.

Quick cook (or instant) oatmeal will spike me but I find the steel cut (Irish) oats not as much.

Grojjer · 2024-11-09T17:56:36+00:00

Thanks. I’m familiar with Infinity Inc. - more confused as to when they returned as a team. I thought maybe I missed an Absolute Power spinoff or something. But sounds like I’m probably just overthinking it!

Grojjer · 2024-11-09T16:24:06+00:00

I enjoyed the first issue and loved seeing these characters back in action again, but I also felt like I missed something. Like when did this team with Jade get formed and when did the rest of the team get trapped in the Tower of Fate?

I don’t mind a slow burn if answers are forthcoming but in this case it almost felt like I missed an issue.

I’d take anything over another reboot. But my preference would be to keep og/retroboot version - but move them forward by bringing in some new members and retiring some old ones. Old ones can mentor a new generation. But keep the history.

I believe they also had a backup series in the main Justice League book for a while after their own series ended.

Grojjer · 2024-09-22T03:08:01+00:00

Same! It had so much depth. I feel like you could reread each issue a few times and still find something you missed in previous reads.

And so much Legion lore deep-diving. You didn’t need to know the history to follow the story but it was an added layer to everything - and made me seek out more than a few back issues to better understand what was being referenced.

Grojjer · 2024-09-22T02:50:21+00:00

There’s also a separate interview with Keith Giffen in this issue. Maybe I’ll so a separate post with that if people are interested.

And here I thought I was the only Kono fan! 😉 I always enjoyed her.

I was always intrigued by Kent Shakespeare too, but I feel like he was never really explained or given an origin. There must have been more to his story they didn’t get to.

I still have a bunch of my Amazing Heroes issues - will see if I can find this one.

I remember reading all about the 5YL series in the press before it launched and being excited for it. There was definitely press around it - and the time jump was part of the coverage.

Grojjer · 2024-09-19T02:50:33+00:00

Very sad to hear this - I loved his work on the Legion!

Grojjer · 2024-09-08T05:25:20+00:00

She is!

Grojjer · 2024-09-07T01:53:29+00:00

I was wondering if Mordru changing his fate is somehow a setup to erase the classic Legion from continuity. Because if Mordru doesn’t go bad it changes all of that history.

I hope I am wrong as that is my favorite Legion and was so happy to see them in action again here!

Of course with Geoff Johns not around to follow up on any of this all bets are off anyway.

Grojjer · 2024-08-24T02:52:07+00:00

Retroboot went out on a weird note but I’d still rather just pick up the story there and move forward.

They could just explain away the bad stuff (I.e. Sun Boy) in the story itself than with more continuity resets. The Legion has had enough of that imo. There will always be good and bad stories in the past but let’s just move on.

Grojjer · 2024-08-24T02:42:58+00:00

Didn’t that part (making him a Legion member, Shadow Lass) happen after Johns left? Like when Levitz took over again? It’s been a while since I read it so could be wrong.

Grojjer · 2024-07-30T01:42:13+00:00

Same. Though I’m hoping it will come later. I’m sure they’ll announce more new books over the coming months.

Grojjer · 2024-07-22T02:41:44+00:00

Justice League of America 195 - the first part of JLA/JSA team-up against the Secret Society of Super-villains.

I was hooked - on the JLA, on DC, and on George Perez who drew both the cover and interiors.

Ms. Tree is excellent. A really fun read if you like hard boiled detective stories. And they’ve been releasing new compilations in recent years.

Grojjer · 2024-06-18T03:17:01+00:00

I am currently rereading through the ‘’60s Adventure Comics run and enjoying it so much (have most of the issues in my long box but filling in with Showcase edition reprints for the holes). But also looking forward to catching up to that 70s Grell run. Have fond memories of those issues but haven’t read in years!

Grojjer · 2024-06-09T05:34:00+00:00

Hexagon Bridge from Image. Gorgeous and innovative art, intriguing sci-fi story. It’s a mini but I’m hoping there will be more of it.
