Legion in 20th century
Outpost 2
Anyone here hear the news from the AOL chat session? In about six months,
half the Legion will travel to the 20th century and will stay and have
adventures there for an indeterminate period of time. This will happen in
LSH while L* continues the 30th century adventures.

Hmmm...they also said that the 20th Team will stay there, basically, until
the stories start to stink.
Hmmmmm...

Not a good idea for avoiding the necessity of future retcons - unless
they don't interact with other 20thC heroes. Hey, maybe the part of the
20thC they're sent to should be the 1960s which, because of various
retcons, is now a period in which the only active DCU superhero was J'Onn
J'Onzz? It'd be fab and groovy to see them adopting that 'teen lingo'
that DC writers had such as the Teen Titans speaking in the issues that
came out back then. Yeah, I _know_ they won't do this, but it's an
amusing idea.
Wonder who goes back and who stays?

Well, here's what the chat report says:
"The team wouldn't state how long the Legion will be trapped in
the 20th century. The story will be gauged as it proceeds.
McCraw indicates that the team will be in the 20th century for as
long as the stories they've got play out."
That's not at all the same as "until the the stories start to stink".
I guess my Previews are half-full.

My best guess is that this is because LSH will soon be going to newstand
sales, while L* will be staying direct. TPTB, as in the case of Karate
Kid, Cosmic Boy, & Timber Wolf, seem to feel that a solo series (or in
today's market- a newstand series) will sell better if it exists along
side the rest of the DCU.
When will LSH return to the 30th century? When the newsstand sales
reports come in and TPTB realize, as usual, that they goofed.

Well, *that's* an extremely perverted version of "while there are stories
to be told".

Your best guess is most probably wrong. I say why in my other followup to
your explanation of this idea.

Boy, you're a real optimist, aren't you? :)

Good guess, Duke, but going to the 20th century is the creative team's
idea.

If we're such a bunch of screw-ups, always making mistakes....why then do
you bother with the book. If you're not willing to try something
new...just keep reading the old issues from 30 years ago, and never mind
the new book. On that note, if one is never willing to do something
poorly, then one will never do anything *new*!!! At least we're trying.
Give it a try. Who knows...you might actually like it.

No, Ron, he means the upper levels. I think you'll find if you keep
looking that the current creative team (with the exception of one
penciller with some people <g>) have our 100% faith. The original
thought was that the Powers that Be at DC were forcing this storyline on
you guys, not knowing it was the creative team's idea.
