I think it was the writers. I have an issue of Back Issue in which the Bierbaums and Keith Giffen are intereviewed. I'll have to check it for a definitive answer. It was a bold decision. I liked that Jan was okay with revelation, but wasn't crazy about Svaughn turning (back) into Sean. Of course, I wasn't crazy about most everything that occurred in that run. It was interesting, and I stayed for the entire run -- but almost always had some disappointment with the series.

I never heard of this. I liked the Teen Titans X-Men crossover that we got, but I"d also have loved to have seen that.
Well, after writers sort of transed Svaughn, Jan long time "female" love interest, going as far as reverting her to a man, I find it hard to say it was something in the fans head. I have to say, IMHO, it worked for Jan. He was always shown as being so spiritualized. He would really believe in "soulmates." A relationship of the spirit. The body was just a pesky detail.

I thought late last year there was a rumor about LoSh news coming in June 2024 solicitations. I guess it was wrong.

I would say skip, especially if your curiosity was piqued by the new members. Hardly any characters get any kind of development aside from the Lightning Twins, Saturn Girl, Ultra Boy a bit and Gold Lantern (which happens in the LSH/JL mini) Most just stand in the background not doing much.(Brainiac 5 of course is there to explain stuff, as is his function)
Also, just felt a need to remind folks that since this is an "Appreciation" thread, there's no outright bashing of previous iterations or runs. (I think there's already a thread bashing the Bendis Legion if one were so inclined)

I am a minority about this on these boards because I loved this run. And I actually learned to read by sneaking my older brother's Legion comics in the 70's. I say give this run a try if you like the designs. It doesn't quite reach it's potential unfortunately but there's tons of beautiful artwork and cool concepts. Also it hits the ground running with the team already having been formed when are first introduced to them. So you don't have to read their origin story again and watch the team build slowly. I'd suggest getting the 2 trades digitally on Comixology next time they go on sale for like $3.99. Almost forgot to tell you that they recently appeared in the current run of Green Arrow believe or not.

With the multiverse back in play and continuity that claims "everything happened", I'd argue that they all are canon now. The question is really which Legion goes with which Earth? But if I were in charge I'd make the Bendis Legion from further in the future of the classic team. Make them inspired by the original team but not the original team. Why do they think they are the original team? The Time Trapper of course.

No idea who was the artist here. Somebody else can illuminate me?
