Really didn't like the first issue. I've been a big fan of Magneto and Rogue for a while, so maybe I'm biased.

[Colossal Spoons]

Legion sitting around watching Jersey Shore would be a breath of fresh air after so many issues of Rogue fanfic.

[JewishHobbit]

I'd rather have seen that than the first issue we did get. But solicits make it sound like it'll get better. I'm hoping anyeay.

[Colossal Spoons]

I haven't read it yet. It's not high up on my list. Next to Avengers Arena, it's the NOW book I can't believe got green-lit.

[JewishHobbit]

I like Legion so I was excited. I just don't think the writer gave a very appealing first issue. Lots of talking and not much of it was interesting.

I wasn't really a fan of the art either.

If this book outlives X-Treme X-Men, I'm gonna cry.

[Havok83]

Legion should have been given a mini series, not his own ongoing.

[OutcryX]

cancel this. neither xavier or legion are interesting enough to carry titles solo..now pair them up..well, that can never happen now..

[JewishHobbit]

Legion could potentially carry his own title but I think they went the wrong direction with the book. Pair that up with a crappy artist and it's a dud. I bought 2 issues and dropped it. Thought I'd risk buying the next two issues a couple weeks ago. They were better but still not great. Dropped again.

At this point I'm just hoping the title, or at least character arc, ends quickly.

[OutcryX]

I want him to be mostly stable and in control of most of his powers...with occasional lapses and schizophrenic episodes with a new personality (not a new power though..is there really an explanation as to why he has so many..other than his name)...or for all his personalities to control him by committee..with occasional rogue takeovers...

[JewishHobbit]

I thought Legion worked well in the arc following Age of X. He bounced off other X-Men, was fairly strong minded, was heroic, a grown man, etc. This is just a crazy little kid again trying to find his way in a scitzophrenic world.

[OutcryX]

Age of X..ugh. such a blatant rehash of Age Of Apocalypse without the iconic lasting effects and characters...but anyways..YES! that's the Legion I want.
