September 16, 2011 1:37 pm I get why some people have a stigma with Legion, but you know what? I think they are the easiest to keep track of as far as large super groups because each member is inducted but has to have their own unique power. The characters in this book have been around since the 70s (mostly: Gates is Zero Hour/90s, Tellus and Chameleon Girl:80s and Timber Wolf 60s) Here's a quick recap of who is who: Timber Wolf (Brin Londo): think Wolverine without being a killer...and yes he predates Wolverine. Wildfire (Drake Burroughs) he's anti-energy in a suit--no body. Dawnstar (lady with wings) super power is can track anything in the universe; Gates: bug-creature can teleport; Tyroc(Troy Stewart): one of DC's first African-American heroes in the 70s: sonic powers; Chameleon Girl (Yera Allon) shapeshifter married to fellow Legionnaire Colossal Boy. (he prob will show up in Legion. Tellus: fish-like guy telepath and telekinesis. Each Legionnaire is given a flight ring and a "transuit" the kicks in when they are in space or atmospheres to breath. (they are transparent...just go with it) The villain used is probably new, I don't recognize him. Lately in the Legion books there's a panel showing who's who but for some reason they didn't go for that approach here. DC has said that, like Batman and Green Lantern, the Legion pre-52 is supposed to stay relatively intact so try a trade or look online. There really are some great stories told. And if you can keep track of dozens of X-men or Avengers, I don't know why Legion seems hard for readers. Hope this helps.

September 1, 2011 1:09 am I'm buying all the first issues to give them a try--been reading comics over 40 years and haven't felt this excited for books to come out since post-Crisis with Legends, Justice League, Byrne's Superman, Perez's WW, Suicide Squad and Batman Year One. I hope some of the titles that have always had a loyal audience grows: Legion, Resurrection Man, and Suicide Squad come to mind.

August 12, 2011 12:11 am dropped the books with the Fear Itself crap--won't be coming back.

July 20, 2011 10:50 am not for me, thanks.
