after doing my GIFFEN redesigned uniforms POLL .... it made me wish V3 had carried on longer ?? [ btw i LOVED the 'FIVE YEARS LATER' / TMK issues ]

but what would it have been like to see the LEGION fall apart !!!

someone [ can't remember now ?? are they still 'around' ] actually wrote out plotlines and covers for issues #64 - 125 of V3 !!!

who else read them ??? i thought they were very good, i really liked the ANNUAL that featured LAUREL GAND and how SATURN GIRL was the only LEGIONNAIRE that knew she had taken SUPERGIRL's place in history !!!

and in the final part of the story IMRA removes the statue of KARA from Legion HQ !!!

[ that image was so clear in my mind !!! ]

anyone have any favourites ???

Matthew.

They sure are great reading. I'd have to go back to refresh my memory, but off-hand two favorites would be the issue in which Brainy and Laurel split up, she goes off with Rond and the Black Dawn story.

Matthew's talking about "What if the Levitz run had continued for five more years?" at Get-a-Life-Boy's site.

Don Sakers takes the fleshing-out seriously, and it's both plausible and thought-provoking. He even created mock covers for about half of the imaginary issues. He does have at least one hilarious aside, though, accompanying his postulating of v3 n100 (September 1992), "Black Dawn Part Six" --

NOTE: #100 is a special, double-size issue with a die-cut, hologram-enhanced cover of 24-karat gold, polybagged with a complete set of 250 Legion trading cards, a Legion sweatsuit, a toy Legion cruiser, a real working Flight Ring, and a medallion which allows the bearer entry to an LSH meeting. Somehow, the writers manage to work in guest appearances by everyone who has ever been in a Legion comic. In celebration of the Legion's start in Adventure Comics, issue #100 is cover-priced at twelve cents.

Now, I'd bag and board THAT. Wouldn't you? {g}

I've always been a bit bothered by these being referred to as the "Lost 'Levitz'issues", as if this is what Levitz would have written if he had continued the title. The plots are entirely what Giffen and the Bierbaums imagined for the "Five-Year Gap", and really have little to do with Levitz.

Another problem is that they take it that five years worth of issues is equal to five years worth of Legion years, which simply isn't the case. There really should be about twice as many issues to cover the "gap" period.

That said, it is an interesting project, and a fascinating read.

It's interesting that some people are interested in seeing this chapter of Legion history. TMK got enough flak for telling dark stories, yet Legion v4 #1 starts pretty much at "rock bottom" and depicts the road back towards the light. Stories that depict the "5 year gap" would only get more and more dark and depressing, showing the deaths of various characters and ending with the dissolusion of the Legion.

This would be another great Elseworlds tale if DC hadn't sprocked up and cancelled the line.

{[...] The plots are entirely what Giffen and the Bierbaums imagined for the "Five-Year Gap", and really have little to do with Levitz.}

Sakers makes a different "what-if," though. If Levitz had continued to work with Giffen, even if the stories had taken such a slow descent into chaos, they would have -- he contends -- at least been evocative and resonant with readers.

Sakers' larger point is that TMK's choice to leave five years of the Legion entirely untold -- except by flashbacks, references outside the published comics, and reconstructions -- was a profound mistake. And that it only worsened the mistakes TMK made in telling their own stories directly. The sensibilities of a Levitz might have minimized the overall damage, at least. I find it hard to dispute him.

And I agree with Sakers\' detailed assessment of the TMK era as a whole, which concludes:

[...] Die-hard Legion fans, reading the entire series at once (rather than waiting for individual issues to come out once a month) can probably get something out of these comics -- if they are fully conversant with Legion history, and have copies of the various Who's Who and Mayfair Games background materials. Otherwise, reading them is an exercise in frustration, tedium, and disgust.

Scott and Gary might find an "under construction" graphic that Don Sakers created to be useful and witty, if new or modified areas of Legion World are in process -- outside the scope of the UBB software, that is.

That's kinda cool Grey. I might have to ask Don if I can use that for my own site.

Here is a rundown of the Five Year Gap, based on he Mayfair sourcebook and conjecture, by John Censullo:

Quote
The last we saw of the Legionnaires prior to the "Five Years Later" storyline was at the conclusion of the Magic Wars on June 23rd 2989 (LSH v3 #63). Hints to the events of the Five Year Gap were given in small doses in both LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES [fourth series] and in Mayfair Games' 2995: The Legion of Super-Heroes Sourcebook. This article attempts to combine these clues into a cohesive chronology of that missing period in the Legion's careers. (Note: There were a few instances where the two sources differed on dates, in those cases I went with the data in the comic book series).


THE FIVE YEAR GAP

Year One

In September 2989, Earth removes its polymer shield. Earthgov debt soars. (LSH v4 #30)

In October 2989, the United Planets economy collapses. Many, such as the Coalition For Human-Humanoid Preservation, believe the rumors that the collapse was the result of a Khund conspiracy. Months later, a leading group of economists would conclude that the collapse occurred for other reasons. (LSH v4 #1, Mayfair)

On November 2nd 2989, Tayla Wellington is elected President of Earth, defeating Hass An. (LSH v4 #30)

On December 14th 2989, Thom Kallor sends Nura Nal a letter, ending their relationship. (Mayfair)

On June 7th 2990, the Legion Academy closes. (Mayfair)


Year Two

On July 6th 2990, the United Planets Militia Academy is formed by the Instructor Generals, Chuck and Luornu Durgo Taine. (LSH v4 #16, Mayfair)

By July 24th 2990, the United Planets has lost roughly 50% of its original thousand worlds, either through secession or Khund invasion. (Mayfair) The United Planets Council, the administrative structure, and the Science Police relocate to Weber's World. (LSH v4 #13, Mayfair)

On September 23rd 2990, the Human Rights Interstellar announces that its latest list of Human Rights Violators includes the mother world of the United Planets, Earth. (Mayfair)

On October 8th 2990, The Incumbency Restriction is repealed; Tayla Wellington begins successful run for re-election. (LSH v4 #30)

Suddenly, Regulus realizes the detonator has been triggered, causing it to explode. Fellow Legionnaires Sun Boy, Impulse, Lightning Lad, Polar Boy, and Star Boy rush to their aid. Timber Wolf is caught partly exposed when the radiation sweeps past, apparently giving him severe radiation exposure. Sensor Girl and Dream Girl sense that the Sun is cooling down. Sun Boy states that his solar powers won't be enough to help. Wildfire gets an idea. He merges his energy with the Sun's, enabling him to control the internal implosion and prevent its collapse. Wildfire is lost and believed killed. It is postulated that full Dominion control of Earthgov began at this time. (LSH v4 #30, #52, Mayfair) (Note: Date given as August 12th 2991 in Mayfair)

So it appears that Sensor Girl was at Black Dawn after she supposedly gave up her powers to reclaim her throne on Orando?

Interesting rundown of events -- thanks for posting them. I'm even more sure I don't need to see a series to show us the way the Legion disintegrated - especially since most of the Legion I'm familiar with leave and are replaced by subs and other peripheral characters.

I wondered about the Sensor GIrl thing as well. Some of the stuff might have been ok to see, but I don't think I'd want to read most of them in comic form.

I still someday hope for a continuation of the series from Magic Wars on...

Bumping this old thread to share the unfortunate news that Don Sakers recently passed away.

Per Paul Levitz on Facebook:

Quote
One of the joys of writing LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES was the passionate group of fans the characters had. Some became good friends over the years, one or two collaborators. Sad to say, one whose fanac gave me particular pleasure has just passed. Don Sakers created the 'Lost Levitz Legion' -- extrapolating from my run to devise an issue by issue litany of subsequent titles and loglines of what he thought I might have written if I stayed on the series. He had a good grasp on my approach, and the effort involved delighted me. Don was a science fiction writer in his own right, but for me, his magic came to life in that one moment of channelling my stories. My sympathies to his family and friends.

Sad to hear. His "Get-a-Life Boy" pages are great and I have referred to them multiple times in the past.

Really sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

Back when I was a kid, I'd have a line of my self made titles, with little plots outlining each issue as I went. I remember getting a lovely rush of nostalgia when I first saw his Levitz continued run.

That was a long time back, where there didn't seem to be a lot of Legion sites around. His pages stood out as a lovely bit of creativity linking the eras together.

A lot of my Bits notes are still in this format, and I like to think this inspired that.

I really liked the cover images too, and still smiled fondly at it, when I last saw it a few years back.

IIRC there are actual "lost Levitz" plots such as the quest Shady was taking an injured Mon-El to "find the Last Psion."

I, for one, would have loved to have seen that happen, instead of...what actually did happen. sigh
