Thanks!

Wasn't there a trade for the Superman arc when he was bouncing through time and met the ADV, Grell & V4 Legions? Or am I thinking of something else?
Posted by Nightcrawler on :
I thought so too, but didn't find it.

A couple Legionnaires guest-starred in Alan Davis' JLA: Another Nail.

They made that one panel cameo in Kingdom Come for the A/R fans.

Superman in the Sixties reprints the 1962 story "The Last Days of Superman", in which the LSH plays a fairly prominent role (and it's Mon-El who saves the day!).

Thanks guys!

A dramatic cover for "Great Darkness," I always thought ... but that's the problem, it's the cover, and it gives away the punchline. The identity of the principal villain is slowly and masterfully built up in the story line, but the cover spoils the surprise. (Unless you don't know who he is, as few do not. Or have read it in individual issues.)
The second edition of that TPB, a few years back, didn't change the cover, but it did take out the foldout Giffen/Mahlstedt Legion poster and its character key pages in the back of the book. That's a major difference, and one to be careful about if you're buying it on eBay.

wow, they're really releasing the new Legion trades pretty fast(wish they did that for the previous incarnations of the team *sighs* )
Posted by Tamper Lad on :
Did anyone pick up volume 3 out last week? I leafed through it on the rack. The Letters to the Legion feature was reprinted along with a message from er Tyroc about fandom and letters pages.
Posted by Cloak and Dagger on :
Another collection with the Legion...
The postboot Legion has an appearance in Infinite Crisis. It's only one panel, though.
Posted by PolarBoy on :
geeze in all the legion history only 7 (I can only see 6 in the first post) trade and of that one is brilliant one is ok and the rest are crap in a hat.
Posted by Igee The Mighty on :
i guess having waid onboard is part of the reason for the legion getting its fair share of trades. he is one of the golden boys over at dc...

Kinda makes you wonder what is coming up that those six issues are suddenly getting the TPB treatment.

Maybe they're just trying to put out a TBP that will sell.

Cool, but what's the Legion content in Legends of the DC Universe 80-page giant #1? That's the only issue I'm not familar with.
The rest of it looks like a pretty strange brew but I'm happy to see DC reprinting issue #300 and LSH #0. The latter is a much more entertaining telling of the Legion origin story than the original version, imo.
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
As Michael already pointed out it is actually LotDCU 80pg Giant #2. It has a 10 page story, at the end, called "Bedtime Story". A retelling of the Superman myth to the Legionnaires as children.
Here's the Winath example:
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
In re-reading the story I remembered what I didn't like about it. It jumps around too much. Garth and Ayla being called babies. Rokk, in the previous page, being shown as old enough to babysit Pol (probably 2-3 years older than the Ranzz'). Then there's Imra shown as a SP cadet easily twice as old as either Rokk or Garth.
Never understood the reasoning behind the selection of ages.
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
Hey! How'd I miss that 80pg Giant story? Now I'm really pissed. Thought I had the entire "main" run.
That comment by Mom, having their secrets. Wouldn't a story about Mekt's secret twin be good? How ticked would Mekt be to find he did have a twin that was hidden/taken or some more imaginative such and that he'd been left to suffer for someone else's needs?
Posted by Rusty Shackleford on :
Wasn't sure whether to start a new thread on this, but I picked up "Eye For An Eye" today.
Do I have the original issues? Oh yeah. Matter of fact, bought the "Tales" reprints first, then went back for the back versions a few years later. Re-read the heck out of both. This is one of the Legion's finest tales, and it's worth while to be one of the few trades I'll buy at cover price for something I already own.
Anyone, there's a few nice treats for people who might be swayed by the extras:
* Foreward by Paul Levitz * Reprints of the "Tales" covers * Reprints of the LSH, LSV and Karate Kid page entries from the original Who's Who series.
I only wish they'd gone ahead and included the two-part Controller story and issue #9, which nicely wraps everything up. Ah well, I bought this one, and they probably aren't prone to do more if we don't buy what they put out.
Also glad to see the Legion get its own "Greatest Stories Ever Told" treatment. The DnA run getting a nod is bittersweet. Issue #3? Deserves to get reprinted, but the whole run does, too. Heh, I think it would have been exactly six years ago this month I picked that up. One of the great "Oh Sprock!" moments in LSH history.
Posted by kcekada on :
I'm really digging An Eye for an Eye TPB.
We need to see the rest of Levitz/Giffen collected as well.
Posted by Igee The Mighty on :
Not your traditional TPB would be April 9's "Showcase Presents: The Legion of Super-Heroes v. 2" coming out next year. I've tried getting the archives but they're quite pricey so the Showcase volumes, albeit B&W, are still a great item to have.
As for "LSH: An Eye for an Eye", I picked it up 2 days ago and while I do have the singles it really just brings back all the memories...getting all googly-eyed on the field trip bus, having brought it along despite the fact that I had already read it numerous times before that trip.
I've got lots of conspiracy theories as to why there's suddenly a Legion explosion...but after all these years of saying that DC hasn't done enough for the LSH, I'm just really, truly, genuinely happy that they've finally come around to it.
