Ready for Bendis's Legion of Superheroes?
Ready for Bendis's Legion of Superheroes?
Hell Yeah!
>non-binary Cham
Only the Threeboot Cham was confirmed that. Although the writers did a poor job sticking with the idea and all the characters kept referring them to "he" anyway.
>That Black Garth
Why couldn't they just make him black and not have to give him a new facial structure and hairstyle? They made Cos Asian and he still looks like himself.
Please, we all know where this will end
no
also i keep seeing solicts for legion #2 and not #1 which makes me think either millennium is being counted as the number one or that the solict is mismarked and should be millennium #2
This Chad isn't a Tumblr Twink
I'm cautiously optimistic but I've been burn before. Watching Geoff's Saturn girl phase out of existence in Dooms day was almost the last straw for me. The new designs vary from alright to questionable or out right bad. I really like Bendis's Young Justice, but I know big team books are his weakness, and here he is about to tackle the biggest comic book team in comics. The future for the Legion doesn't look so bright in the next few years.
Nope!
At least their history involves timetravel and alternate dimensions, which Bendis likes to pull out of his ass, when he needs some gimmick.
Is Rond Vidar a gold lantern now?
>Oh wow! It's the Legion of Lazy Gimmicks!
fuck this
I do hope it's Rond and not a Bendis oc. We got to wait for a legion /co story time to be sure.
In the future, there are no whites!
YAASSSS
Can they at-least be people of color with good designs instead?
>No sugar daddy RJ
I take my money else where
Bump
Can they be saved /co?
we can only hope bendis does something so grievous that his contract gets voided and hes out
or he gets really sick
Look at those puffed cheeks. Wow
Well, what's one more shitty reboot to throw on the pile?
Seems Bendis' only ideas are racebending and adding non-Legion shit.
Genuinely makes me wonder why he even wanted the book. Was it seriously just to have somewhere to send Jon away to?
>Genuinely makes me wonder why he even wanted the book.
He now has complete control over DC's literal future now
At least Imra looks like a woman in this. Not a deformed androgyny like in the concept art
if they don't to permenant damage to the perceptions of the characters, things should probably be fine.
I'm very worried about this version taking off or getting adapted
Doubtful. As long as Geoff Johns remains alive, then he will make sure he's adapting a LoSH film or show.
how many super competent black woman will DC get
i just dont want bendis to ruin brainy
please god tis all i ask
I will pirate only for my crack ship
no, i want bendis to leave
Or buy if this is confirmed. BUT THATS A BIG IF
would buy if brainy ended up with either mon el kara or lyle
Cause I hate myself thats why
No. I don't really care about the team but I hate Bendis and how he ruined the new Superboy for this.
Johnathan was a good boy.
We've lived through hard times before, we will again, it's never the end.
I feel like a large chunk of people are insanely mad about Jon being 3 years older though and I don't know what to do about that.
I'm still very perturbed by that cover of #2 where Wildfire seems to be worried about drowning.
Gonna be bumping the thread with pre existing, cool, black Legionnaires.
I honestly don't really care about the race bending, it's the race bending AND none of the other black characters showing up yet that gets me
a take on the team where the usual guys take a back role and the main characters are these could be interesting.
Maybe he doesn't want to sink? I don't know if living energy plasma's have weight at all. I'm just disappointed Bendis is using JL lore instead of the vast Losh lore instead. Yet again giving legion haters more reasons to say the legion is just "the Justice League in the future".
What that should tell you is Bendis and DC have no real faith in the original losh. The selective race changes where done for click-bait outrage, not for genuine diversity.
Jacques > Lyle. sorry y'all. Brainy/Lyle is a good ship though I'll give you that.
I think I just realized my new thing for Brainy is having tragic relationships. Lyle, Supergirl, dead Dreamy right? in Threeboot
Also the oceans missing from Earth makes NO SENSE what the fuck!!!!
also mad Tellus isn't there because he's fucking from a water world.
All but Dreamy since he marries her in the end of Threeboot
Kinda like Espionage Squad or the legion subs?
YES
Would murder for an Espionage Squad book
I maintain the way to bring them back was basically do Wonder Comics, 3 books Legion of Super-Heroes, Legionnaires, and Adventure Comics, Bendis gets one as a containment book and the other 2 are teams to get excited about, maybe they crossover annually or something, and you can constantly be rotating the teams bc there are so many Legionnaires
And you wouldn't even need to underplay the role of the early characters, just have it be a few years into the team's history. He could introduce all the shitty OC he wants without needing to ruin anyone.
Keep Superman's history with them and you could do a fun adventure with Jon not going far enough into the future and teaming up with his teenage dad.
>sorry y'all.
For speaking the truth?
I want fanart of the new black Garth and Ayla murdering the previous beloved black legionnaires.
>that Vi panel
Legion fashion rules
They had always good designs, even the sexy 70s designs.
>the richest team member
kek
I wonder if Bendis will have a reason Mon El never showed up in all that Phantom Zone shit early in his run OR do we think we'll have to deal with a whole arc of Mon El in the present and getting poisoned and shit for like a year?
A whole legion of OC super smart black teen girls?
>Tinya
>Phase
>Cartoon Tinya
>Linnya
Phantom Girls are great
God, I'm all for a non-all white legion but this was so not the way. I have to look back and admire how bright and cool the old losh was.
>in the art of super-karate
Its cheesy, but it was the style to write back than.
THEY HAVE ONE!
He just won't get into the character at all.
He'll have one conversation with Jon about Daxam and spend the rest of the series as background muscle.
And what wasted potential this one was.
She could've had her own evil computo arc for the two-boot.
I'd be all for making some of them more alien, like Saturn Girl in the cartoon, but the designs are just so bad.
i like sensor girl's deal. nice to see girl characters with full masks
also this highly 70s art is nice
>See how Intellectra enters the fray - the smartes, blackest and youngest member of the Legion - showing them how its done!
80s
I did some Losh designs months ago. Didn't finished cause drawing over 30+ characters was too hard.
also good and cool
these are very cute user. i like the elf direction for saturn girl.
Extra for you.
meant for
why thank you
Jeckie's one of my favs so this rules
the top left one looks like a lucha libre outfit
Jon sux
What asshole drew this?
>I really like Bendis's Young Justice
You make me sick.
looks like cute fanart
rond is working that jacket.
Eh, I'm not saying it's great cause of the writing, the quality of that varies. I like it because he got a shit tone of good artists on it.
>I like it because he got a shit tone of good artists on it.
That's Bendis' MO: misdirection. He distracts you with top art talent while he gets away with his tired and overused writing shenanigans.
This just reminds me that Bendis Jeckie looks extra awful. The main issue I have with the new designs overall is that they don't resemble the people they're supposed to be. Jeckie especially just does not look like Jeckie. Should've been Sneckie, not some mess of purple shit.
>Jacques > Lyle
you take that back
WHAT IS IT WITH THE REDHEAD ANNIHILATION??
Brainy NO! The legion doesn't kill!
Garth see's a black guy wearing his costume dicking Imra
Because its the special haircolor exchanged with the special skin color.
People still are "rascist" even they try to be not rascist!
we will now if this sprocker doesn't take back what he said about Lyle
who is that chad with the pigtails
Thats Hunter the eligimate son of Kraven the hunter and Ladybird from Ladybaby band.
Some scraped idea for Jeckie they where going with
>Not only she's a snake, she's half slug too
A bit off-topic, but does anyone remember/know a comic about this universe of superheroes that spans several generations? The main characters are two brothers who get powers with their friends on some island or something and then the younger brother turns out to be evil. It follows several generations of the superheroes from the same family. I though the author was Bendis but not I don’t know.
Am I going insane?
That sounds like a great fanfiction idea or a dream you had user. It sounds really cool though.
>I'm just disappointed Bendis is using JL lore instead of the vast Losh lore instead
It's Bendis user. Be glad for the extent to which he's not just making things up as he goes along.
Jupiter's Legacy?
>Brainiac 2
>His world's greatest hero
topkek
>that pic
i dont remember any dox interacting with the wall but now i kinda wanna see it
Holy shit, this is amazing. Blacked Vril
Yeah thank you
is this from the new run where vril shows up but acts basically nothing like vril?
what is brainy thinking about Yea Forums?
so how long do you think this run will last
i give it 2 years
>I'm cautiously optimistic
Really? How much Bendis have you read before this?
Who's the fifth from center-left? Purple and gold.
Starboy?
Huh, probably so.
This, there are quite a few PoC throughout the Legions history and it’s pretty much like Lila Rhodes an established character getting pushed aside for Bendis precious OC.
which legionnaire will be made gay? maybe brainiac, or will he make one of the girls gay like say shrinking violet shrinks to hide her sexuality like how he had bobbys ice be hiding his
We'll just have to wait and see
XS is still existing at least.
i would not be surprised if this version of vi was made gay for extra brownie points
but i dont think brainy will be made gay becuase that implies that
1) bendis knows enough about brainy to know how hes been portrayed in other runs
and 2) that anything of bendis's choices so far have been based in actual sense
shrinking vi has been gay since the 90s i'm fucking furious
It depends on how sales do.
Personally I don't think this will sell that well. At best maybe "better than typical Legion sales", at first, but I don't believe Bendis has the same star power he used to have. If you look at GOTG, X-Men, and Iron Man there was initial interest and then it either gradually fell or slid kind of fast, in spite of the stunt things he did like Iceman coming out or Iron Man getting replaced by Riri and Doom.
vi was only officially gay in like 1-2 runs iirc but ngl user i completely forgot about that as i made the post
another guess then for whos gonna be made gay will be triplicate girl
15 issues max
>>People wanna get into legion
>>New readers have no idea where to start
>>DC reboots them YET AGAIN
>>Fucking Bendis
No, I'm not ready. I'll just read Levitz run, thanks
