Top 5 Reasons Why the Legion of Super-Heroes is Cooler than the Avengers
Filed under: Commentary, DC Comics, Legion of Super Heroes, Marvel Comics
As most of you already know, DC and Marvel both relaunched two of their titles with number one issues on the same day a few weeks ago. For DC, it was the Legion of Super-Heroes, and for Marvel it was the Avengers.
Although I have to admit I have always been a big DC fan, as well as a HUGE Legion fan, one fact became clear pretty after reading both of those issues.
The Legion of Super-Heroes is cooler than the Avengers. Here are the top 5 reasons why:
5. The Legion doesn’t kill, period.
I am not so sure that you can say the same for some of the Avengers…
4. The Legion doesn’t use weapons
Check out your line up from Avengers #1
You got:
- Thor – hammer
- Hawkeye – bow and arrow
- Spider-Man – web shooters (borderline on that one)
- Wolverine – razor sharp claws
- Captain America – shield, gun, knife
- Iron Man – high tech armor
3. The Legion has time machines
Time sphere – check
Time viewer – check
2. The Legion has flight rings
‘Nuff said.
1. The Legion never stopped being heroes.
While Marvel is trying to recover from its “Civil War” and start a new “Heroic Age” for its heroes. The Legion, no matter what its incarnation, never stopped being heroes and a inspiration for comic fans everywhere.

It’s time to go back to the future, gang, as fan-favorite LEGION writer Paul Levitz teams with rising star artist Yildiray Cinar to chronicle the adventures of the 31st century’s premiere super team.

And, because that’s what we do, we’ve got a first look at the issue right here.

LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #1: Get used to the name Yildiray Cinar

How often do you get to start on the ground floor of a great artistic career? Not very, I’d guess. This might be your chance. Yildiray’s done a number of assignments, but it wouldn’t be a stretch to say his work on LEGION is his breakout opportunity. And, if he keeps cranking out covers like the first issue’s, it’s all but a certainty. So, prepare to return to the future with Paul Levitz — a future visualized by a hugely-talented artist.
LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #1 hits in May.

PAUL LEVITZ Prepares for a LEGION of DC Writing Assignments
By Vaneta RogersFor Paul Levitz, this year marks a return to writing comics and the characters he helped define at DC Comics almost two decades ago.
For fans, it means some of their favorite teams and characters are returning, getting Levitz’s unique brand of treatment again.
In May, the writer will launch a brand new Legion of Super-Heroes title, returning to a group of characters he helped define during his run on the title in the 1980s, and he’ll also be writing a story in the revamped Superman/Batman.
And now comes news that Levitz will be writing Lucien of Sandman fame, a character he created back in 1975 that now resides in the Vertigo universe, as he takes part in a chain-written issue of House of Mystery in May.
Although Levitz was a prolific writer for DC during the mid- to late-’80s, most modern readers have known Levitz as an editor and later the company’s publisher, a role he left late last year when DC Comics became DC Entertainment. In his new role at DC, under the direction of the company’s new president, Diane Nelson, he is serving as a contributing editor and consultant while also returning to his writing roots.
Besides all the Levitz projects that readers will see in May, the writer is also taking over Adventure Comics later this year, beginning with a storyline called Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes: Secret Origin.
Newsarama talked to Levitz to find out more about all these writing projects and how it feels to return to some familiar characters.

Levitz Serves Duty With “Legion,” Gets Dirty With VertigoThu, February 4th, 2010 at 12:28PM (PST) | Updated: February 4th, 2010 at 4:54PM
From the looks of it, Paul Levitz hasn’t had much time to relax since stepping down as the President and Publisher of DC Comics. While the September changing of the guard that saw DC Comics become DC Entertainment brought with it the news that Levitz would stay on as a consultant and freelance writer for the publisher, few may have expected that the industry veteran would produce piles of comics work in the immediate future, but this May sees the longtime DC staple contributing to three series. For one, his previously announced gig as writer of the relaunch of “Legion of Super-Heroes” with artist Yildiray Cinar gets underway that month, with DC today releasing a first look at the artist’s interior work. Levitz will also step into “Superman/Batman” for an arc titled “Worship” starting in issue #72 taking the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight to mythic adventures and contribute a chapter to a comics jam in the form of “House of Mystery” #25, which has a round robin script co-written by a host of writers including series regular Matthew Sturges.
And all of that is only step one for Levitz’s writing future. He’ll also pick up the monthly “Adventure Comics” series in June. “The genesis of the ‘Adventure’ arc is that Geoff challenged me to do the story that could be collected into one book that you could hand to somebody to introduce them to the Legion. That doesn’t really exist right now. So that’s why we’re going back and looking at the origins and how they develop,” Levitz told CBR. However, readers shouldn’t expect his tenure with the superteam he twice made his name on to be all building blocks and origins, as Levitz explained in an in depth interview where he addressed how to best integrate the Legion into modern DC canon as well as the modern DC publishing plan, why the series expansive cast is a boon to their stores and much, much more.
