LOL! Thanks Gary! I thought I recognised it. I'm sure there must be more examples than them too. I'm know I'm gonna be more aware of it when I see that cover design from now on.

I collect JSA, so the entire Lightning Saga is grouped with them. (Not collecting JLA except for the LS issues.)
I don't collect the current ACTION except for the LS Legion and earlier Mon-El appearances, but am loathe to group them all the way back with the 70's ACTION run.
What's a collector to do?

Buy multiple copies so you can cross file them.

Well it actually is an important question...
As I am not filing them per series, but "Legion history" chronologically, I was thinking of filing them after Zero Hour, before Reboot. But as I don't know how this new/old Legion will survive in the DCU, I currently file them together with the Threeboot Legion (and the Lightning Saga) in one current map, hoping that some chronological sense will be made soon...
I never understood why people would file their stuff series by series. That would make no sense because reading them, you would miss some stuff, and all the crossovers would be torn asunder...

I'm running into that with the reboot LSH and Legionnaires series, actually... I keep meaning to combine them by the monthly numbering DC did like they were doing with all the S-titles at the time. I was rereading some Legionnaires while putting stuff away, and realized I needed to read some LSH issues to follow the storylines (Composite Legionnaire, Superboy...)
And Quis, I was thinking of tracking down the variant covers for just that reason... Unfortunately, my regular back-issue places are sold out of the JSA incentives. Glad I got the Starman Sloppy Joe cover when I did!

I'm 1,000 miles from the rest of my collection, so right now they are but three issues among roughly two dozen. I don't have to worry about where to file thme until late April.

I have my Legion comics filed like this: In monthly numerical order front to back by the following sections:
1. Adventure
2. Superboy/LSH/First 12 issues of Tales
3. Baxter series with the reprint issues of Tales inserted in the correct story order.
4. Legion of Super Heroes (5 Years Later) up to "End of an Era"
5. Legionnaires (Up to "End of an Era")
6. End of an Era - Legion/Legionnaires/Valor In story order
7. Post Zero Hour - LSH and Legionnares combined in story order (monthly numbering)
8. Legion Lost
9. Legion Worlds
10. The Legion
11. Legion of Super-Heroes (current series)
In front of each of those major sections, I put all the annuals or specials that came out during the time period of that series. I'm considering the Lightning Saga and current Action storyline "specials", so they are going right in front of the current series. I set this system up about three years ago. It took a bit of effort up front, but has evolved pretty naturally, and made my life much easier. I can find any Legion issue I'm looking for in a matter of seconds.

My Legion collection is filed pretty similarly, except I have the "Action" run of the Legion between Adventure Comics and Superboy/LSH. I have the Legion Lost, Legion Worlds, Valor and all other misscellaneous titles filed seperately. The annuals (specials, etc) are to be found by release date with those subsequent runs/titles. The pride and joy of my collection (Adventure 247) is stored with the companion runs, tabloids, indexes and etc. I even have a small doubles collection of selected issues for quick referrence and "read only". Yes, I'm obsessed and probably have collected "everything" Legion including the Flight Ring...somewhere!

Yeah, that's where I would put the Action run if I had any. That's the biggest hole in my collection. Thank goodness for archives.

It's been vaguely bugging me that they have dropped Color Kid for Rainbow Girl, but I wonder now if it has something to do with the whole 'red sun' thing.
I don't recall any convincing rationale for exactly why red / yellow sunlight affects Kryptonians or Daxamites differently, and it's *possible* that Color Kid, who actually changes the frequency of the light, could snap his fingers and power-up Superman with golden sunshiny goodness...

...or maybe Earthman already got him, absorbed his powers, and turned the sun red in the first place.
the color-sun bit is Silver Age nonsensical stuff, but it helped create an alternative to everyone in the universe having Kryptonite on hand in order to give Supes a challenge.
