Geoff Johns to pen LoSH episode of Smallville!

Monday, July 28th, 2008

The Legion of Super Heroes is coming to Smallville! I for one cannot believe it took this long to get the only superheroes who ACTUALLY did visit Smallville (in comics continuity) on the show! For those who didn’t know the only “superheroes” that visited Smallville, Kansas while Clark was Superboy in DC Comics continuity were Saturn Girl, Lightning Lad and Cosmic Boy, the founders of the Legion of Super Heroes from the 31st century. Geoff Johns (author of the eagerly anticipated Legion of 3 Worlds miniseries with art by George Perez) will be writing the episode!

    Kudos to RobOrange on posting this page from the Comic-Con Magazine Spring 2008 (available here). I’ve always loved that image and its a fascinating history of the Silver Age’s first super team.

    Legion of Super Heroes gives way to the Brave and The Bold Cartoon

    Friday, April 11th, 2008

    Although we have seen the last of the Legion of Super Heroes (I’m genuinely saddened and hope at least they put out a nice collection), those with the need for a steady DC universe cartoon fix needn’t give up all hope. The next DC cartoon to come down the path will be The Brave and The Bold, and just like the different DC titles by the same name, they will be TEAM UP stories! I’d guess most will be a Batman and… kind of a setup - but maybe they will mix it up like the recent George Perez drawn series.

    Here is a bit of Legion art to say goodbye…

    and a shot at the art style for the new show (Fridays on Cartoon Network). I’m not loving the look of it. I think , JLU, and Legion were stylized enough - this goes a bit too far.

    Legion of 3 Worlds

    Friday, April 11th, 2008

    The George Perez Legion of Super Heroes Mini - “Legion of 3 Worlds” will apparently merge the oft revamped Legion continuity into one manageable storyline. I for one cannot wait.
