Comics Continuum is showing that Foundations is scheduled for release on Aug. 4th and reprints 25-30 and part of the 2003 Legion Secret Files. 176 pages in all at a $20 price tag.
I'm torn between my love (and support) for all things Legion and my disdain for bad stories. If this would have even been a marginal story I'd probably get it, but I'm really having a tough time deciding to pick it up since I...
A. already have the individual issues.
and
B. even at 176 pages, it would only take about ten minutes to read the entire book with comprehension in mind.
I just don't know... maybe it's a good birthday list item?

I'm not buying the TPB because of your point "A". When I already have the individual issues, I won't buy the TPB, unless the TPB or hardcover has dramatically better paper quality than the issues I own (i.e. Legion Archives).

AR collector that I am, prior to the announcement of the series' cancellation I was planning on getting it. Now? Fuggetaboutit.

I have the issues. I didn't much like them the first time 'round. Why would having them in another format change that?

Clever fellow that I am, I didn't buy all of the individual issues! So I am definately considering the possibility of maybe picking this up, if only for the pretty artwork.

I'd much rather see a new archive edition come out. I never read the death of Chemical King issue. Also, wouldn't the LightningLad/SaturnGirl Digest and the 1st apperance of Dawnstar be in vol.13?

People here have been screaming for a trade paperback for years, and now no one's going to buy it?
Isn't the fact that DC is finally going to put out a trade a good sign that the LSH is still going to be in publication? I mean, why bother collecting a canceled series?

Well, for me the answer is money is tight so i won't be getting them, i already have them, and an additional one or five typewritten pages, if included, isn't enough to get me to buy.
And honestly, i only have one tpb so far, Crisis on Multiple Earths II. I plan to get one and three when i can.

Hmm, something to consider, though, poor sales of the Trade may indicate to the higher-ups that nobody wanted to buy/read Legion anymore. (Not saying it's the truth, just that it may tend to indicate that attitude to the suits...)

Sure we wanted a trade paperback: of a better story. It's just too bad that DC never collected any of DnA's better work. Foundations was far from their best effort, in my opinion.
I won't buy a TPB just because it's from a series I collect.

Who has been screaming for Foundations in a TBP? Lost sure, World's you bet. The Blight maybe. Foundations? Worst story ever.

You should buy it for it's magnificent coloring;) And I need to buy it because I never got a copy of #27, even though I worked on the damn thing. Can't find a copy at any of my local stores either; that Superboy cover must have been a big seller or something.

Ronda, e-mail or PM and I'll be glad to send you a copy. I always have at least one extra. I usually buy two or three copies so I can send one to a friend in Peru. I know I have an extra of #27 and I'll gladly mail it to you.
