In the 90's, when it was the Legionnaires, it seemed to tap into that 90210 melodrama. Still Legion, but much more about the characters and their relationships moreso than sprawling stories.<br /><br />Following that Abnett and Lanning revamped it with Oliver Coipel and those were some awesome, sleek, cutting edge Legion stories. It touched the more mature world of superheroes without losing it's ideal.<br /><br />I was a bit lukewarm to Waid's run but ultimately it knew what it was, and moved the characters forward. Levitz feels like moving back. It's like if Claremont was writing X-Men Forever as the MAIN X-book. This is Levitz's LEGION FOREVER.<br /><br />The Legion and Captain Marvel could be two huge franchises for DC and yet they pay little to no real attention to it.Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03026335818721649588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33311991.post-22494123882752275902010-10-04T17:23:22.491-04:002010-10-04T17:23:22.491-04:00The Legion is one of those properties that had a l...The Legion is one of those properties that had a lot of success in the past, but no one has been able to recapture that success in the modern era. Alot of the 70's Marvel stuff is the same way.<br /><br /> I'm not sure what DC needs to do to revitalize the Legion, but putting a writer who is as antiquated as Levitz ain't it.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14446748180947198729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33311991.post-90568112107649043052010-10-04T09:01:39.083-04:002010-10-04T09:01:39.083-04:00Sadly I agree, this version of the Legion has been...Sadly I agree, this version of the Legion has been the worst one ever done.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00352163584546054887noreply@blogger.com
