Did you expect to see Deadman in a Legion comic? I know I didn't. We take a look at Legion 87 - 89 and Legionnaires 44 - 46 and Annual 3
Let's start with the idea of internal logic. You've read a few of my complaints about both books when the "logic" of the story just doesn't work. For example, when the super-powered Daxamites beat the stuffing out of Spider Girl and didn't kill her. If that's all you showed, and never addressed just how easy it is for them to kill beings without invulnerability, I'd be fine. It doesn't break the consistency. But, when 20 pages later you show one of the Daxamites killing a innocent person who's just swimming in the wrong place, then you start to ask yourself, "why didn't they kill Spider Girl?" Basically, either have killing or don't. Once you show it happening in one place and not the other, the logic breaks down.
As soon as the Legionnaires arrived in the 20th Century in Legion of Super-Heroes, the internal logic breaks almost every page. Whether it's the language issue, or the knowledge of future events, or 20th Century humans acting completely insane when they're dealing with super-heroes from the future (we'll get to that this week), I'm scratching my head almost all the time. That's not good.
In Legionnaires, the internal logic is more consistent and it's been getting better with Roger Stern co-writing the book. Say what you will about whether or not he actually wanted to write the Legion (and I'm leaning towards not), he knows how to write comic books that make sense.
It seems to me that most people prefer Legionnaires because of the artwork, even though Jeff Moy's style is what led to the negative nickname "the Archie Legion". Anatomy-wise, I could make a fairly strong case that neither Moy nor Lee Moder were great at realistic anatomy and that's part of what makes their styles their own. Moy struggled with backgrounds and buildings, something Moder was much better at. I'd also argue that Moder was better at drawing emotion, even if he did sometimes go too far and turn everyone into blubbering messes. Moy's facial expressions all kinda look the same.
So why does everyone prefer Moy's work and some of us are counting down the issues until Moder leaves the book (11 more to go)? I think there are two basic things that make Moy's pencils work much better than Moder's:
· Energy - the book just screams energy and enthusiasm. It just seems like Moy wants to draw the Legion - no proof or evidence to this, just a gut feeling.
· Attractiveness - I know this sounds incredibly shallow, but Moder's Legion is just ugly...
Agree? Disagree? Can you explain better than I which one you like better?
LSH #87
We're starting with the Legion of Super-Heroes just to kinda keep the publishing order in tact. Also, I want to get these over with first. Read into that however you want.
This issue only exists for one reason: the creative team needed to have Apparition stop being a ghost and, since they're in the 20th Century, they'll use Deadman to achieve that. The flimsy plot is that a fake spiritualist has possession of an amulet from Bgztl and it possesses him and turns him into a huge, unnamed threat that sucks energy away from Deadman and Apparition. She and Ultra Boy try to stop him and fail until Apparition possesses a crane (yep, that really happened), knocks out the bad guy, and gets the talisman back. Then Rama Kushna (Deadman's god) says they have to destroy Tinya but changes their mind once they realize she's from the future, so they save her and return her to her regular self... I think... I know she becomes kinda sparkly, everyone can see her, and she can kiss Ultra Boy again.
This comic is the best example I can give of why Legion of Super-Heroes is worse the Legionnaires:
· We get three different pencillers this issue: Mike Collins, Paul Pelletier, and Lee Moder. So not only do none of their styles mesh, and Moder is probably the worst of the three at drawing the Legion, but why do this? Why not just have each of them draw one issue each so the issues look coherent?
· The impetus for everything happening is when the female guest, whose name (Tiffany Cross) isn't given until halfway through the book, shoots a gun at the bad guy because he scammed her grandmother. Any punishment for attempted murder? Nope.
· We also never really know how old Tiffany is. On one hand, she's old enough to buy a gun (I'm assuming legally because nothing happens to her) and start her own business (because she can speak to dead people) but she's young enough to think that kissing Jo, who's 15 or 16, is great. She exists solely because the writers wanted someone from the 20th Century involved.
· Deadman just casually drops the "Tinya survived the blast from the Daxamites because she latched onto Jo's invulnerability" explanation for everything without knowing things like... that Jo's invulnerable. And he admits that he didn't know Tinya's from another planet, so how would he know anything about Jo? More plot points where, if you stop and think for a moment, everything falls apart.
I know that a lot of people like the Tom Peyer Legion issues but I honestly find that he's really lacking at making plots that are even slightly logical. And, by this point, I think he's juggling so much with the Legion and I think he was really struggling. Which makes even less sense to me because putting the Legion in the 20th Century should be an easier comic to write. Everything's on Earth, you get to play with DC's other heroes, and you can ground everything in our reality. But he seems to be doing worse. Maybe he's better at sci-fi than reality.

Wow, I thought last issue was badly plotted and a waste of paper...
This issue gets the Legion out of S.T.A.R. Labs in the most convoluted and illogical way possible.
Since I want to forget the stupid plot of Brainy ordering Impulse around to get him things at S.T.A.R. Labs, let's instead focus on the inane reasoning behind the Labs kicking the Legion out.
Let's imagine that you're the head of S.T.A.R. Labs. You're running the preeminent research facility in the world and are on the cutting edge of all tech in the DC Universe. You're working with the U.S. government and receive funding from them.
Suddenly, one day, the literal smartest person in the 30th Century arrives at your door, looking for a place to stay, and all you need to do is supply him with a laboratory that he'll probably destroy every week or so. But his understanding of science and technology is literally 1,000 years more advanced than anything you have. He could build something that would be considered a child's toy on Colu and it would immediately revolutionize all tech on the world. He doesn't care about money, he doesn't care about fame, all he wants to do is research and build things.
What would he have to do to get you to kick him out? Is there anything? Would he not be the golden goose of your dreams?
And if you're the U.S. government and he was kicked out by S.T.A.R., would you not immediately set him up at a facility in the middle of the Nevada desert and let him go nuts?
But this is the Legion, and the creative team doesn't care about using any sort of internal logic on the book, so the Legion gets kicked out because Brainiac 5's research is a little dangerous and they have to find a new place to live.
The Legion also refuses Impulse membership on their team, which makes no sense either. But Brainy gives him a spare pair of telepathic earplugs as he leaves. I'm guessing he was carrying spares. Because if he built more of them at S.T.A.R. Labs with 20th Century tech, and the lab just let him leave, they're even bigger idiots.
Oh, and Brainy has a pet monkey named Koko. Because you know, when your creative team is struggling with art deadlines and too many characters, the best idea is to add a monkey to the mix.
LSH #89
Stream of consciousness time!
Jeff Moy is penciling this issue because I guess he wasn't working hard enough on Legionnaires. Or something. The team has moved into the old Justice League HQ, officially added Ferro and Inferno to the roster, and need to start cleaning everything up.
Shvaughn is working with Oracle to get everything working and to figure out who in the 20th Century might know how to get them back to the 30th. Rip Hunter and the Time Masters are a dead end and Ultra Boy isn't happy about wasting his time. At least he's not just staring into Apparition's eyes. Or Shvaughn's.
Which is when they tell Ferro that they're all from the 30th Century. Huh? What? How did he not know? How could he not figure it out by context? How was that not said at least once during the whole Final Night story? Spark runs off, angry at Cosmic Boy, and wants to see if Brainy has any good news.
Koko is now permanently on Brainy's shoulder and, apparently is able to mix chemicals and do it better than Brainy does. What the hell?
Cosmic Boy and Saturn Girl confront Spark, asking if she told Ferro they're from the future. Spark gets angry, saying it doesn't matter who knows because they're never getting back home. And then she flies off.
Luckily, Ayla brings a change of clothing in her duffel bag and finds a nice little farmhouse to visit. She writes a letter to Garth to narrate the issue so we get a little insight into why she's been so nasty recently. No surprise, she finds herself at a military installation (because why would she go somewhere peaceful?) and, when she touches the electric fence, she sets off alarms but doesn't get hurt. The security guard tells her to stop, she doesn't, he shoots her, and she collapses unconscious.
Rokk and Imra find the barn, tracking Ayla's flight ring, but they discover she left it there when she headed off to explore.
Ayla wakes up and the bullet wound to her calf is already healed. The security guard, who's turned from black to white in two pages, is stunned. But before anything interesting can happen, Imra and Rokk show up immediately because she can track anyone by their thoughts (so why track the flight ring?) and they give her back her ring. Imra reads the guard's mind and reveals something embarrassing to get him to run away and the three Legionnaires face off.
Ayla's mad that they're forgetting about Garth and his feelings and we finally get the speech I've been waiting for. Rokk shouts:
Did you know that Garth never even asked Imra out? I love your brother, Ayla. But the rest of us can't stop living while we wait for him to start!
Ayla blasts them with electricity and Imra reaches out with her telepathy... and this sets off someone kept in the military installation. No idea why her previous use of powers didn't, but who cares... The prisoner, who's in a padded cell and wearing a straitjacket, is saying Imra's and Ayla's lines while the doctors are trying to help. They say he fought Wonder Woman but I have no idea who he is. He blasts the doctors and the security guard and knocks them out.
Imra, having completely read Ayla's mind (she got over that restraint pretty quickly), tells her what Ayla's actually scared of and how they're not giving up - they're going to get back to the future. They hug and all is good... well, aside from the bad guy connected to their minds.
Back the JL HQ, Ayla's happy again, distracting Koko, and then Cosmic Boy and Saturn Girl kiss. And suddenly Imra's face is gone.
Next issue: Dr. Psycho... oh, so that's why the doctor called him "Psycho!" I thought it was just bad bedside manners.
Art wise, all I can say is this might be one of Jeff Moy's worst-looking issues, so I'm further convinced it's inker Ron Boyd who's ruining all of these pages...
Legionnaires #44
We've got a brand new number one on the book, so we're into 1997 now - year three of the PZH Legion!
Rookies to the Rescue as we see the three new Legionnaires in action. And Tom Peyer is back to help out with the writing. I feel like I should put "help" in quotation marks here.
We begin with Lori Morning's 11th birthday and the whole gang is here. I've also just discovered that Umbra and Triad don't have ears, so that's new... or just a bad art choice by Jeff Moy. Lori's upset that she thinks she's 21 and she wants to know why Rond Vidar isn't there. Okay, so you have a team member who's, in body, older than any Legionnaire, but in mind 11 years old. And in a different millennium. Can I just point out, again, how insane having her in this book is?
We also get our first time that someone (Magno) calls Tasmia "Shady". So her nickname was Shady for Shadow Lass, right? But her name is Umbra... so how does this make sense? Or is this just a term of endearment someone uses for a person that he barely knows? Again - no sense. Oh, and are they going to explain why she has a big S on her check and both wrists when her name's Umbra? Did I mention that last week, cause it's still bugging me.
Lori starts flirting with Magno to try to get Rond's attention but ignores him as soon as Rond starts talking. He hands her something to hold, which immediately pulls all the temporal energy out of her and she's 11 again. And it's permanent. And the Athramites dress her as they think an 11 year old should look - which is wrong on so many levels. Oh, and should I point out that, at 11, Lori is only 3-5 years younger than the Legionnaires?
The Legion is mad at Rond (why??) until he reveals that he needs the chronal energy to find the lost Legionnaires.
Live Wire assigns the three rookies to a rescue mission on Yuen, where there's been a cave in. Umbra's not happy this is such a boring mission, but Sensor says to respect Live Wire and places a gag over Umbra's mouth... which I guess is an illusion, but still, weird.
The other Legionnaires rush to the virtual reality room where they're talking to the Legion in the past (see LSH #88). We get some very wrong dialogue... Cham to Live Wire: "Talk to her (Imra)! Come on! It'll give me the nerve to flirt with your sister!" Both Garth and XS are not happy to see how close Rokk and Imra are.
We go to the rescue mission, where Magno is positive and excited, Umbra is the opposite, and Sensor is sick of Umbra's attitude. They square off and we learn Tasmia was not selected Planetary Champion of Talok IV... that's different.
They arrive, head to investigate, and we learn that four super-powered teens caused the collapse to impress the Legion and join. They are: Density, Tongue, Phantom Lad, and Cherry Bomb. They're also not very nice and figure if the new Legionnaires are dead, they can join much easier. Oh, and Tongue speaks with a French accent for absolutely no good reason. He even throws out French phrases, even though he says he doesn't know what "Franch" is.
The Legionnaires investigate and Sensor knows, but she doesn't know why, that the weakened structural beams were licked in half. Is Tongue the grossest Legion character ever? The battle begins. First, they fight Tongue, who doesn't know what a French accent is even though Umbra does - no idea why she would. The floor collapses, leaving Umbra with the other three. She blasts Density, who can change their substance to rock or inertron. And then Phantom Lad, who's dressed like the male version of Apparition (why??). She makes everything dark and then knocks them out but Tongue is back to capture her. And then she faces Cherry Bomb... who creates a flash of sound and light, blinding Umbra. So Umbra makes everything dark until she can recover and defeat them.
With the Legion rejects taken care of (glad Sensor and Magno didn't do anything... I mean, why?), we get to the most important part of the book - they discover an empty grave with a tombstone that reads "Mord..." So glad Garth rejected a magic user last issue.
XS and Kinetix go to cheer up Lori on her birthday and XS reveals how hurt she is that Rokk is happy with Imra. But she realizes that her crush on Rokk is just an illusion and, like Lori, she has to forget the illusion and move forward. Wow - she handled that with great maturity.
This was a pretty uneven book. Some things I really liked and I'm excited to see what they do with these new Legionnaires. Other parts were less successful and, to be blunt, I'm still trying to figure out what purpose Lori Morning serves, aside from making us all crack Poochy/Cousin Oliver/Randy/Seven jokes.
Legionnaires Annual #3
It's another Legends of the Dead Earth annual and I actually went and looked up what this whole waste of paper was about. In the future, the Earth is gone, but the legends of the DC heroes are still going strong and affect the universe. I can see how Superman's legend would continue. But some of the others??
This is another annual that really feels like it's been thrown together as a tryout for a lot of up-and-coming talent. We have three pencillers, four inkers, and two letterers. Why? Was it so hard to get people to do 40 pages? Look, I get that keeping deadlines is hard, and sometimes these books hit a crunch and quality is sacrificed. But an annual is something you know is coming and you should be able to prepare for it. Or am I just expecting too much?
The first part of this book was okay. XS is stuck in the past, surrounded by speedsters from different times, trying to find her way back home. She borrows a cosmic treadmill that John Fox (a Flash from the 27th Century) brought back and uses that to get back into the timestream. No one helps her, of course, even though this is the first time she's ever attempted this and would have absolutely no way of knowing how to navigate the timestream. But let's ignore that little detail and focus on how well XS works with the other speedsters.
She doesn't make it back to her correct time (surprise!) but meets up with Barry Allen at an earlier point in the 30th Century - before Barry had kids, one of whom would become Jenni's mother. They chat for a bit, she tells him far too much about the future, and then he sends her back into the timestream with no help.
Honestly, if they had kinda ignored the whole Legends of the Dead Earth premise and just kept XS with Barry, this would have been a much better comic. You could've had a lot of fun with these two working together with Barry teaching XS some crime-fighting tricks along the way. You could've built Jenni's confidence, had her bond with her grandfather, had some great Barry moments, and made a really enjoyable annual.
Instead, XS ends up in the 100th Century and meets up with more alternate versions of the Avengers, all drawn in Image style to, I think, make fun of the overly dramatic style of the time. Some alternate versions of known characters, like the Authority or Squadron Supreme, are done really well. This is not one of those.
The only really interesting part of this annual is when XS ends up at the end of time, watching the events of Zero Hour play out. She talks with the Time Trapper about time not being an absolute and how it's possible for her to change the Earth's destiny. He also lets her know that she has a cosmic destiny to fulfill but she'll completely forget about this conversation until she needs to remember. And then he sends her back to her regular time.
I really wish they had done more with this plot point and I hate when they do the "you'll forget everything about this so we never have to bring it up again." And wouldn't it have been nice if she had seen the old version of the Legion fighting in Zero Hour? You could've had an amazing scene where she talks to old versions of Rokk, Imra, and Garth.
It was nice to see Dan Jurgens penciling this final Zero Hour section. It was a great callback to the original mini-series. Sadly, it was probably the only well-drawn part of the annual.
I'm not sure which annual was more disappointing this year, but neither was required reading. Just meh all around.
Legionnaires #45
According to Roger Stern, his wife Carmela began helping him write Legionnaires with this issue. She started re-organizing the massive number of plots and subplots into something more coherent. Let me quote her from the interview:
There were always so many plotlines and so many characters, that this became part of my routine. Most months, I’d draw up a timeline of the latest springboard, discuss any changes with Roger and both Toms, and do a rough draft of the plot. I started to "hear" the characters speaking, so eventually I started jotting down rough drafts of dialogue.
She never officially received any writing credit but was eventually listed as the "Adult Legionnaire" in the book. I'm guessing that's probably because DC didn't want readers to know that the book was written by the wife of the only "big name" writer working on the book.
So I'm going to be positive here and assume that the plots are going to get even better on Legionnaires. I'm also going to use this moment to, once again, remind everyone that maybe comic writers are flying by the seat of their pants far more often then we'd like to think.
Just a warning to everyone - after reading that interview, I really got the sense that Stern was not the writer the Legion needed. He hated writing the vast multitude of characters and wanted to cut the roster down. I think it would've been much better for Stern to write the Legion in the 20th Century stories and Peyer to write the future Legion.
To Vyrga we go, and thankfully Triad has ears again. Phillip Moy is the guest artist here, so let's see whether he's better than his brother. No pressure for him... he ends up doing the most anime-inspired version of the Legion we've seen. So Jeff does Archie and Phillip does Dragonball.
We start off with Sensor recapping last issue for Kinetix and they spend some time talking about the "Mord" artifact. Judging by Kinetix's hair, I'm guessing she's also in a zero-G environment or she's using a massive ton of product.
Kinetix doesn't recognize "Mord", but she plans on running a systems search. Or, you know, just call her mom. Lori rushes in with Proty, who's started talking to her, so she's hoping to find out why it and its friends attacked Legion HQ those many issues ago.
I'm just going to point out right now that I quite like the way they're writing Sensor - she speaks regally, very formally, and seems to always be thinking about her best moves forward. Even though she sometimes sounds like a grandmother, it's a nice touch to be dramatically different from everyone else.
Next, we focus on the new Legion leader - didn't Live Wire just get appointed to the position? Why make this change so quickly? Invisible Kid is elected, gets a kiss on the cheek from one of Triad's selves, and immediately protests that he doesn't want to do it. Unfortunately for him, they immediately get a call from Vyrga (Gates' homeworld) requesting his return to end a civil war. Lyle promises the Legion will help since Gates can't go home.
The Emerald Eye convinced (or took over) Violet to attack M'onel and the fight has begun. M'onel knows that Vi is fighting against the Eye's control, which is why he's able to evade the blasts. But the internal battle gets harder, so Eye opens a stargate and escapes, leaving M'onel, once again, in a tattered uniform. I guess the stargate rips clothing? And how does M'onel always end up with his clothing shredded when Ultra Boy doesn't have that problem?
The Legion arrives at Vyrga - Invisible Kid, Live Wire, XS, Triad, and "Gates". Guessing that Cham is pretending and we all know this won't end well.
The three rookies have arrived on Trom to meet up with Element Lad, who's still creating crystals as a memorial for his fallen people.
The villain on Vyrga? Mantis Morlo, who admired Gates and exposed himself to mutagens to get super-powers. He's super strong, much bigger than anyone else, and had started terrorist attacks on the planet. Of course, Morlo attacks and it's the face off of Legionnaires against mutated alien. The big reveal is that Morlo invented the Protys (or Protoids) that attacked the Legion before and he's upgraded them now.
The Legion works like a well-oiled machine under Lyle's leadership and defeat Morlo and his Protoids. Cham reveals himself, shocks Morlo, and they win. In a great panel, they have to vacuum up the Protoids, who have turned into puddles... at least I think that's what happened.
We get a nice little bit where the leadership says he understand how important the Legion is now. Well that's nice.
To Earth we go, where Star Boy and Nura Nal are the pacific coast of Arizona... okay... something happen that they've never mentioned before?... on a date. Of course she collapses and has a bad premonition of something bad happening to the Legion. A really terrible god will destroy them.
We go to the planet Biel, where the people there are attacked by someone pulling the power of ancient crystals into himself. Yep, it's Mordru...
Legionnaires #46
After reading this issue, I think that adding someone to keep track of all the subplots and characters was probably a good thing. Although the main story focuses on Cham and Sensor hanging out and seeing Metropolis, we get all of these subplots:
· M'onel versus the Emerald Eye, which is battling with Violet for control
· Dragonmage training with Mysa to prepare for the battle with Mordru
· Durla wanting Cham to come back and lead their planet or religion or both
· Orando wanting Sensor to come back and rule the planet (So did she leave without her father's permission? Did Orando know she was trying to join the Legion? Why do they want her back so quickly?)
· Dreamer seeing bad things for Kinetix
· Star Boy dealing with his new superpowers
· Andromeda living alone on an asteroid after joining the Sisters of the Eternal Cosmos to give her life meaning (I'm sorry, but this is such a waste of the character that it actually just irritates me. They could've done so much with Andromeda, especially now that she's owning up to her crimes and wants to be a better person. I get the sense that the writers just didn't want two Daxamites on the team.)
· Mordru regaining his power to take over the universe
· Oh, and whatever's going on with Triad, Invisible Kid, Live Wire, XS, Lori, Rond, Brande, etc., etc., who we don't see this issue.
There's a ton of stuff going on here, even in an issue which slows everything down and focuses on character development. I don't know if any Legion writer ever tried to shove so much plot into one issue so the more hands on deck, the better.
I think the best thing they could've done at this point was use each issue to wrap up one long-running subplot and start another. Especially with the team the size that it is. I mean, they haven't even gotten into things like "Triad's heart's desire is to be separate and different ages" or "They have an 11-year-old girl from the past living with them and they're not trying to get her back to the past or make her part of the future. Or go to school. Or do anything that an 11-year-old would do."
They kinda hint at a Cham/Sensor relationship, which means that either he's moving on from Ayla very quickly or the creative team just wanted to connect the two most "alien" characters on the team together.
I know this sounds insane, but I actually would've loved to have seen them still pair Sensor and Karate Kid together, even with her no longer being humanoid. They could've really played with the idea of the king of Orando rejecting Karate Kid for being a commoner and not being a snake, and I could honestly see someone as spiritual as Karate Kid not caring what his partner looked like, but just wanting to be with the perfect soul.
Our next Legionnaire in the spotlight... Chameleon Boy/Chameleon!
I'd love to know what Steve Apollo (Jim Starlin) was thinking when he drew those ears
Did they ever explain why he needed those shoulder protectors?
The most interesting man in the universe
My thoughts on Chameleon Boy:
· I know I've mentioned this before, but I think it bears repeating - when you say the short form of his name, do you pronounce the "H"? Is it Cam or Cham?
· I think Cham is one of the iconic members of the Legion, not only because he's one of the only original Legionnaires who actually looks alien, but also because his powers may be the most dramatic to draw. When writers and artists actually have fun with his powers by making him change into alien creatures instead of Earth animals, it's so much more dynamic and interesting.
· When writers ignore his detective skills, I think they're doing a huge disservice to the character. Cham should be the best detective in the Legion and always looking to solve whatever mystery they're facing. It's great to see him portrayed as a 'smart' Legionnaire, but not scientifically smart.
· I also prefer Cham as loner - some of his best stories involve him just leaving the Legion on a solo mission because he works best alone. Yes, it's gotten him into lots of trouble, and in one case caused an intergalactic incident, but it's more interesting than just playing him as naive and boring.
· I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago when I was talking about Colossal Boy, but I think it's a shame that their friendship has been ignored with every reboot. They were a great pairing and I think a lot of reboots suffer from an inability to actually show the Legionnaires as friends. PZH shoved Cham and Invisible Kid together right from the beginning because of a language issue that never should've been a problem and it just seemed more like fan fiction than anything else.
· One thing that I don't know if any writer has ever done well with Cham is handle the romantic side of his character. His flirtations with a UP diplomat in the original continuity always seemed forced and awkward. He was the only member of volume 4 Legion who didn't get into a long-term relationship. And during that one horrible annual where he was spying on his naked former teammates, it just seemed wrong on so many levels. In the PZH continuity, they handled his crush on Ayla in a very awkward way and it never really worked. Is it so crazy to think that an orange Legionnaire might be attractive to one of his female teammates? Or male? Could Reep not find a partner?
· As much as I liked Reep being R.J. Brande's son, I also like him not being related to him. So it's a story that I think could work both ways. I would like to have more moments where they show why he's the best Durlan to be on the Legion, but I don't really need him to be connected to someone important.
· If they reboot the Legion again, I'd love to see them play more with Durlan culture, especially since most of the time they just turn them into villains. Why not have Durla be an asexual world where no one has gender and that makes Reep stand out as he actually wants one? Make him even more alien by having him unable to understand gender differences because they don't exist on his planet. They could have so much fun with Reep and his background.
Just one thing I wanted to mention as I ask for your opinions and comments about these issues, which I always love to see. I have one request for anyone who hates these and down votes my column: please take a minute or two to tell me why. I fully expect people to disagree with what I write and have learned a lot from reading the opinions of people who don't see the Legion the way I do. Please share what you don't like - it helps me and everyone else reading this column.
Okay, that's it for this week. Hope we all enjoyed my rantings and we'll see you all here next week.
