Legion Sprocked

ScienceFiction.com has an exclusive preview of the upcoming DC New 52 title Legion Lost #1, written by Fabian Nicieza with pencils by Pete Woods. You can check it out here.

I’ve never been a big Legion of Super Heroes fan; it’s hard to take seriously a group of super heroes that include one who’s power is apparently based on Skittles and the neverending battle with Type 2 diabetes, and many other who were invented by 12-year-olds mailing in character ideas. So while this book is on my pull list for the first issue, it wasn’t one I anticipated adding to my monthly pull list… until I got a look at this page:

I don’t know how the story’s gonna be, but the concept of “sprock” as a curse word fills me with a joy that feels unnatural. To the point where I fear I will be paralyzed here at the keyboard, slotting “sprock” into filthy sentences like a giddy 12-year-old.

• Sprock the shaft, cradle the sprock.
• Sprock you and the horse you sprocked in on.
• Smurfette wanted to sprocking get smurfy with me, so I sprocking smurfed her right in the sprock. Up to the sprocking second knuckle.
• Sprock my cock.

Legion Lost drops this coming Wednesday, September 14th.
