Thoughts on the 2019 Legion of Superheroes
so far
Jon Kent may be the first super I really enjoy having with the Legion
I know that’s like not the bestest thing from a Legion fan, but I’ve never been much of a Super person
but Jon is just so. bright and kind
he fits the legion so well
I really like the art.
The art is fun
Did I mention I like the art
It’s bright and colorful and not overly cluttered or sexualized or anything
I know that’s more of the style these days, but we’ve never really gotten to see the Legion rendered so modernly and I’m really happy about it
Also I really enjoy the character designs for the most part
Everyone looks more alien and I’m really loving it
And Jan doesn’t have the stupid goatee which really takes everything up a level in my book
Reading the Legion’s founding made me smile so hard.
also Chameleon being enby is super cool and probably a long time coming
Let’s hope for more LGBT+ Legionnaires on the way
They deserve it
As for the plot ehhhh
I dislike the whole trident arc
I’m not a huge fan of the Legion intersecting with too much 21st century bull
I think it’s kind of an overused ploy to get readers of other comics involved
HOWEVER I’m not any sort of marketing person, and I refuse to be a purist
Let’s be honest I’ve never read LoSH for the plot
I miss Lyle, and Shvaughn, and Dirk, and Monstress, and Andromeda, and XS, and Snekkie, and so many more, you wouldn’t even believe
anyways
I know this Legion isn’t perfect, but for now I’m just basking in the feeling of having a Legion again
How ‘bout y’all?
