The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

Bleeding Cool is reporting on a rumor that Keith Giffen may return to Legion.

The zero issues, while telling a kind of “Year One” story for the title, in filling in continuity gaps, are also intended to lead into issue 13 of the comics. Matters that are raised in the past will lead directly into matters expressed in the present, the next month. This will prevent any books from suffering the taint of being “skip” issues.

As for who is working on the issues, I have but one tweet from Travis Ellisor, that ran before I ran the original story, concerning the return to Legion of one Keith Giffen.

Of course everything Rich Johnson says is total bull$#!t and shouldn't be believed. Right, Amoebas?

The Odinson is probably referring to the Five Year Gap series, which really trashed the Legion by putting it in a more dystopic setting, which led to the Superman editor making them retcon Supes out of the Legion continuity entirely.

He wasn't alone there, the Bierbaums were also there. Blame them too.

And Giffen was already leading things in the FYG direction after LSH #50, so, I always give him a bigger share of the blame. T&M were more the writers, it seemed at the time.

That was the icing on the cake but it started when he came on the book and started sticking the Legion in shitty costumes. Timber Wolf, Saturn Girl and Element Lad are the biggest offenders.
His driving for the death of Karate Kid (twice!)
The end of the Baxter series.
5YG and it's absolute destruction of the LSH ( Fuck you Bierbaums for this too!)
and probably some other stuff that I'm forgetting ( been a verrrrrry long night) too.

Nothing against him personally but I really don't like him on any characters that I give a shit about.

Three times if you count the SW6 version. That's the prime reason I don't buy books Giffen is involved in. (Legion being the exception).

That seems a bit silly.

Pretty much everyone that's been involved in Legion according to your threads has been awful.
