For the longest time it was simply the lame character names that all end in -boy, -girl, -lad, -lass, etc. It seemed like whatever power they had plus a gender specific suffix attached telling me they are children.

I recently started with the New 52. Giving it a shot.

@jloneblackheart: I'm glad that you are giving it a chance. Hope your enjoying it so far.

I thought the third issue was the best yet. Going to pick up trades from the last volume also.

I also started in with the new 52.  Not sure if I like it yet.  

Honestly and not to be a jerk but a complete lack of interest in the concept

The same thing as many comics I read a bit of that hold interest on me. I can't read every comic and it hangs just low enough on that list to be off the pull list. Nothing more or less. Though I'm getting the IDW Star Trek cross-over since ST is high on the ladder, so there it is.

The main reason I don't read Legion books is because all of them eventually become irrelevant. The characters supposedly know the future (or their history) but because of new story lines and major cross over events, what they "know" eventually becomes false and, ergo, irrelevant. Also, I think time travel really ruins the integrity of a story. If comics are going to continue to do time travel, they need to do it like the new Star Trek movie, or have it where the person that time travels did so only because history dictates that they must do so. Otherwise, traveling back in time to warn someone of something or to prevent something from happening would mean that that which they prevent never occurred and therefore, their future self would have no memory of that thing happening and history would hold no record of it. The best example of time travel I've seen in comics was in Amazing Spider-Man in the two part story "I Killed Tomorrow" (678-679). That is how time travel should be in all comics.

Because Mark Waid made the team one of the best groups ever in comics.  
 
AND GEOFF F*CKING JOHNS TURNED THEM INTO A PILE OF COMPLETE MORONS. JUST SO HE COULD FURTHER FANWANK HIS SILVER AGE CRAPFEST FANTASY. 

@Izaiah: Oh yeah, I know. I love the characters (minus some of the naming). My favorite DC cartoon besides batman beyond was the legion of superheroes.

They haven't been interesting in a LONG time. I feel back fromthe book in the 90s , they peaked with The Great Darkness Saga.

The constant rebooting and trying to tie it closely to the present day.

@The Stegman: They released a whole mini series introducing the LoSH

For me it has been the continuity. I started reading about them in the DC Encyclopedia and some of them seemed interesting (mainly Brainiac 5) then I tried to read on in the Internet and I was just confused. Another thing is I really like to see things in the present DC universe and the Legion doesn't seem to have any links to the main DC universe. I know early on Superman was part of the team (the Silver and Bronze age stories sounds interesting) and Brainiac 5 has come to the present DCU a couple times, but other than that there aren't really any links. I really want to get into them though. I might try to get some old school Legion comics. I was watching the Bruce Timm Superman show recently (the one where Supes meet the Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, and Chameleon Boy) and that has sparked some interest.

The legion of superheroes is awesome. mark Waid's run is my favorite and great for new readers.
