It has only just a little to do with Hostile Worlds. The people in Hostile Worlds mourn the people in Legion Lost because they think they're dead, but Levitz kind of tip-toes around it because it doesn't seem he really knows what the Legion Lost folks are going to do. Legion Lost also thinks about how they left the future but -- now that you mention it -- I think they mentioned nearly no other Legionnaires by name. <br /><br />So probably you don't need to pick up Legion Lost if you don't want to -- though, with Legion Lost about to be cancelled, I'd imagine the finale issues have something to do with the two teams getting back together, unless they leave the Lost team in the past post-cancellation.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-59047513100385173462012-11-01T13:44:47.653-05:002012-11-01T13:44:47.653-05:00Its good to hear this is a direct continuation of ...Its good to hear this is a direct continuation of Levitz's previous run since I loved it and will pick this up, but how much of the new Legion Lost series related to this series? Before both LoSH and Adventure Comics complemented each other and were both being written by Levitz, but I wonder how much Legion Lost has to do with with this new series since its being written by Nicieza.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-89048360845388119742012-08-29T23:22:54.546-05:002012-08-29T23:22:54.546-05:00Thanks shagamu!

Of Levitz's four modern Legion trades (this plus the pre-52 three), this is by far the weakest. I do hear good things out of the <a href="http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Comic Box Commentary</a> blog, however, that Legion picks up with the next issues.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-51155801008890962022012-08-26T03:32:13.078-05:002012-08-26T03:32:13.078-05:00I'm not that familiar with Legion of Super-Her...I'm not that familiar with Legion of Super-Heroes. While reading this volume I just didn't understand what was going on most of the time :(<br />But some story sequences felt a bit strange. For example Mon-el's battle with Renegade. It dissapears for halve the story in issue 3. Or Sun boy suddenly capturing those two responsible for "industrial accident". I think the final two issues felt kinda sudden to me. <br />Overall, it was enjoyable and I like Portela's arc.<br />But CE, would you recommend reading Levitz's final three trades of the pre-new 52 first before reading this one?Dannynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-46537163025785320692012-08-20T02:21:25.391-05:002012-08-20T02:21:25.391-05:00I'm still wishing this new Legion ends up fixi...I'm still wishing this new Legion ends up fixing that "Flashpoint" barrier! :PEyzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05350758607787528425noreply@blogger.com
