The Final Night

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?

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.

Comics Continuum is reporting the following for April 2007 -

wow, they're really releasing the new Legion trades pretty fast(wish they did that for the previous incarnations of the team *sighs* )

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.

Another collection with the Legion...

The postboot Legion has an appearance in Infinite Crisis. It's only one panel, though.

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.

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...

New one confirmed to add to the list in December.

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.
