Preview: Lethal Legion #1in Comics by GuigarMonday, June 01, 2009 - 12:00 AM Lethal Legion #1 (of 3)Creative team: Story: Frank Tieri; pencils by Mateus Santolouco Yet another villain-centric title is being rolled out by one of comics' Big Four next month. Marvel's Lethal Legion gathers some hardcases that refuse to buy into Norman Osborn's New World Disorder. Newsarama has the interview with Teiri: If the events of "Dark Reign" are Norman Osborn's dream come true, Dark Reign: Lethal Legion is his nightmare. While Osborn has pulled in, threatened, intimidated, or bullied virtually every villain in the Marvel Universe to his side, there are some that don't want in, or can't be bullied. The likes of the Grim Reaper, Mr. Hyde, Absorbing Man, Nekra and Man-Ape, for example -- as individuals they're formidable, but together, they're the Lethal Legion. And they don't want to drink Osborn's Kool-Aid. Kicking off in June, the three issue Dark Reign: Lethal Legion by Frank Tieri and Mateus Santolouco will tell just what happens to villains who don't take a shine to Osborne's plans, and whether or not they live to tell the tale. We spoke with Tieri for more on the baddest of the bad. Read the entire interview. Buy the comic at mycomicshop.com posted Monday, June 01, 2009 - 10:17 AM (#48034)
Wow. Hey, didn't DC do this like a year ago with Lex Luthor trying to get everyone teamed up, but then we had the Secret Six try to thwart his every move? And now one of the SS might become the next Batman? Oh, and didn't Lex make up a superhero group (even stealing a prior group's name) for his own nefarious plans? So I wonder if there's going to be a "Battle For The Shield" sometime next year? posted Tuesday, June 02, 2009 - 10:27 AM (#48052)

Gee, I hope my first comment doesn't come over as snidely sarcastic as it does to me the second time I read it. I must be channeling my local comic book dealer. Still, I'm getting kind of burned out with most of the Marvel titles recently. Maybe they need new writers or something. It does seem like a lot of their ideas repeat or mimic other titles. posted Wednesday, June 03, 2009 - 09:33 AM (#48065)

This isn't Secret Six. Secret Six is legendary. But this Lethal Legion? I don't know what it is. I might flip through a copy at the comic shop but the secret of Six is that it mixes in the villainy with some warmth and humor and conflict--oh, and Gail Simone is writing it too.
