Too Little Legion, Too Much Lost
By Kevin M. Derby
As a fan of Fabian Nicieza and the Legion of Superheroes and the original "Legion Lost" from Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, I had high hopes for this book--and was frankly disappointed with this work.
Nicieza has been a solid comics writer for a long time--as readers who remember his run on "Thor" in the early 90s and his unveiling of the "New Warriors" can attest. But the second version of "Legion Lost" is a mess. The Legion of Superheroes, DC's premier superhero team of the future, has a Tolstoyian cast, scores of worlds and epic, sweeping plots. "Legion Lost" focuses on 7 characters stranded on present day Earth and their attempts to save the future--and get home.
Despite having tons of characters, the best Legion writers--Jim Shooter, Abnett and Landing, Paul Levitz, etc--could always focus on characters. Despite having some of the leading members of the Legion in his comic, Nicieza fails to provide much in the way of character development. When two members of the team are seemingly killed, there is little emotional impact and even less when they miraculously reappear. The art, with Peter Woods taking the lead as illustrator, is fine but not exactly memorable and some of the characters barely resemble their traditional appearances. Add in a few cameos--oh look the Martian Manhunter, there's the JLI on tv--and the reader can be forgiven if his interest in the lead characters and their situation wanes.
That's not to say there are not some fine moments and some exciting battle scenes. Some of the characters--namely Wildfire--get fleshed out a bit (no pun intended since Wildfire lacks a physical form). These factors help the book to some extent but certainly do not redeem it.
As of September 2012, "Legion Lost" is barely treading water, selling little more than 16,000 copies a month. It barely squeaks into the top 150 comics on the market. Rumors have it that the comics is on the chopping block. Reading "Run From Tomorrow," it is easy to see why. While all but the most die hard Legion fans should run from this comic, I think it's safe to say "Legion Lost" will not be seeing too many tomorrows.

Legion Lost Vol. 1: Run From Tomorrow
By C. Dennis Moore
Sometimes an entire book's concept gives you all the information you need upfront. In the case of DC's New 52 title LEGION LOST, they might as well have put "limited series" on the cover, because there's nothing about this book that says it's down for the long haul.
LEGION LOST concerns a group of 6 members of the 31st century team the Legion of Super-Heroes chasing a villain from their own time back to the 21st century and when their time bubble becomes damaged on their attempt to return to their own time, it appears they're stuck 1000 years in the past. That right there tells me the book doesn't have the makings of a long-lasting title. Why? Because the Legion of Super-Heroes is a 31st century team, plain and simple, and you can't take some of their most popular characters, Timber Wolf, Dawnstar and Wildfire, and strand them 1000 years in the past, not for any real length of time, that is. As I suspected, LEGION LOST was canceled at issue #16. And while the first arc, at least, "Run From Tomorrow" was good, it wasn't a Legion story.
Dawnstar, Wildfire, Timber Wolf, Tyroc, Chameleon Girl, Tellus and Gates are chasing Alastor, who has come to the 21st century to release the Hypertaxis pathogen and infect everyone on earth. What this pathogen does is combines human and alien DNA, effectively turning every human on earth into an alien. Why does he want to do this? In their own time, Alastor's sister (Alastor and his sister are both aliens) was killed by a group of extreme xenophobes, and this is Alastor's revenge.
I originally bought this book out of my loyalty to the Legion of Super-Heroes, my all-time favorite super hero team, but I knew from the first issue this probably wasn't the title for me. Each issue is narrated by a different character, but none of these character really spoke to me. I've always dug Wildfire, but in previous Legion books, he seemed somewhat aloof to me, so I never knew a lot about his character. Timber Wolf always felt like a bad Wolverine imitator, while Tellus's constant pausing every two or three words, as if he's trying to talk on a respirator, just gets irritating after awhile. Tyroc is almost a non-entity, one of the least interesting characters I've ever encountered while Chameleon Girl feels to me like merely a plot device. I mean, the Legion has Chameleon Boy, he's been a member since forever, we don't need another Durlan unless there are aspects of the plot that may call for a Durlan but you don't want to use the original character in case something bad happens to him--like maybe he gets blown up in the time bubble. Gates felt, to me, like Orko from the old He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoons, just small and in the way. And Dawnstar, I don't know. I always liked her character in theory--Native American-looking woman with wings, awesome--but, much like Tyroc, she just didn't do anything for me. At least, not within the confines of this story.
I liked the idea of this story, the Legionnaires trying to find an enemy who can change his shape, and trying to stop him before he infects all of humanity, while at the same time having to deal with the aftereffects of those he has already infected. The idea has the potential for a lot of action and character development, I just don't feel as if all of that potential was paying off. That may be why original writer Fabian Nicieza was replaced by Tom DeFalco in issue #7, I don't know. However, from what I know of DeFalco's run for the short time he had it, the story didn't get much better. I think that's because, as I said, the idea had "limited series" written all over it from the beginning, and it should have been marketed as such.
The whole fish out of water thing is only going to work for so long. And unless there are plans to greatly alter the landscape of the established 31st century time line, and the main Legion of Super-Heroes book, really, how dire can the consequences of a book like LEGION LOST be? There's only so much they can do without affecting things in a much bigger way, which they're not going to do, and we know it. That's like watching all of the Indiana Jones movies, then going back to watch "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles", does anyone really think Young Indy is going to be in any mortal danger? Of course not; he's got Nazis to defeat and whatnot in the future. It just doesn't spell "suspense" to me, you know?
Now, none of this is to say LEGION LOST: "Run From Tomorrow" didn't work. The book was okay, and it definitely had some good moments. I just think the concept of the book--as a long-running series--may not have been properly thought out, that's all.
Pete Woods handled the art for the series, and his visuals definitely contributed to the best moments of the book. He handled the various alien races very well, and his actions scenes were highly energetic and easy to follow.
I have nothing but respect for both writer and artist on this book; Fabian Nicieza is responsible for one of my all-time favorite books, PSI-FORCE from the 1980s, so I'm always willing to read anything he puts his name on. This one was just a flawed concept from the beginning, that's all there is to it. I'm not even curious to see how things played out in later issues, I'm totally content for "Run From Tomorrow" to be my only LEGION LOST exposure. Keep the Legionnaires in their own time, it's where they work best. The 21st century has enough heroes of its own.

This seemed like a good idea
By Kid Kyoto
Unlike the main Legion relaunch, a confusing mess with roots in a dozen different books, this relaunch seemed like a good idea. A small group of Legionnaires is stranded in the present as part of a mission to stop a plague from mutating the people of Earth. It's a good premise, it has a tight focus on a group of rarely-seen characters and is easy to get into. Each issue was narrated by a different member giving us insights into how they think.
Fabian Nicieza is rightly known for his skill writing team books, especially with heroes on the run.
So why the relatively low score?
Well there are some problems from the get-go. The mission is to stop a future terrorist from spreading a plague, but with Dawnstar (who can track anything across light years of distance) and Tellus (a powerful telepath) on the team it should have been over in 3 pages. Plus the Legion has ties with Superman, Supergirl, Superboy, the Justice League, the Teen Titans and the Justice Society. With a world-threatening menace loose they should have immediately called in their help. Only the thinnest of contrivances and a bad case of plot-induced-stupidity keeps them from doing this.
And sadly there was a much more elegant solution. Nicieza could have changed the make-up of the team, leaving off easy fixes like Dawnstar. That way the focus falls on how the team can solve the problem, rather than explaining why they can't wrap this up in 5 minutes. In addition the entire DC universe had recently gone through a reboot with a new Superman, a new Teen Titans etc. This neatly solves the problem of why they can't ask for help, when they don't even recognize their old friends. But for some reason this is never brought up.
And finally with issue 7 there's a new writer and a new direction. Tom Defalco takes over and suddenly the team moves to New York (for no real reason), stops worrying about the plague (for no real reason) and takes off on a side quest (do I have to say it?). With the next volume things would get even worse with poorly-considered crossovers and plot twists taking over until the book lurched to cancellation.
Like I said, this seemed like a good idea. Shame it didn't turn out that way.
