Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes The Archives Re-read Project Discussion Thread

Thanks, Ibby!

This looks like a good start - to be honest I need to go through the 20thC issues again as I pretty much ignored them when I did my 30th C timeline last year.

Some definitely would need to be put in the proper grouping, as I remember at least one pair of timestream issues where all the Legion is thrown together (and Triad joins T20, IIRC). There were lots of crossover and guest appearances in those T20 issues!

Thanks GL. It would be good to see this going again.

I have long pondered doing it as well but know my present life and upcoming events mean I would be missing lots of weeks.

I am looking forward to trying to be a part of the comments again.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking - if we can get some of the arcs summarized for discussion, we can at least start commenting.

that's the L* 47/LSH 91 two parter, GL

To avoid having to reinvent the wheel, we could use the order and summaries already present in my re-read thread, which has gone up to LSH 110 and L* 67

Thank you sir, I knew you'd know that!



Yeah, let's figure that out - I need to go back and see the writeups for those to see if that works well, as most of the arcs up to the split are four issues or so each, so that may be a long intro message, if we do it like the last round. I'm okay with re-summarizing. We could also link, but then there's no good reference text.

Also, do we want to include the Annuals? In this group they only tangentially add into the story arc if memory serves.

I'm interested in getting this going again. I hate to see it stalled when there are so many more stories to discuss. There have been a handful of individuals re-reading other parts but I'd like to see this continue - if for no other reason than to make sure I re-read the Reboot myself, and get all that valuable input from others' perspectives.

(As an aside I just noticed that we actually missed some issues between "Archives" 35 and 36. Archive 35 finished with L* #26 and LSH #70, and Archive 36 started with LSH #74 and L* #31. LSH #71 to 73 and L* #27-30 were skipped. Oh well, we still have Ibby's re-read to cover them.)

I will probably go back to reviewing one issue at a time, simply because I find it difficult and overwhelming to read and discuss multiple issues even when they are really an ongoing story/plot. I still welcome discussion but that is how I am leaning.

So Archive 36 finished with Emerald Violet which leads into the split between the 30th Century team and the 20th Century team, with T30 continuing in Legionnaires (L* for short) and T20 taking over LSH. I am seeking some suggestions of what to include in Archive 37.

First up should we continue with alternating between the titles and hence the two teams, or maybe group all of T30 in L* together and all of T20 in LSH together?

From the Legion wiki I can see that there is a big crossover between the two teams with L* #47 and LSH #91. That would give T30 L* #41-46 and T20 LSH #85-90, twelve issues which isn't bad for an Archive. However T20 also has its big involvement in the 4 issue Final Night, as well as 3 issues of Showcase '96, 3 crossovers with Superman and 1 with Impulse, not to mention the short stories in Secrets of the LSH. That adds up to 18 issues just for the 20th Century team.

Maybe we can just do summaries for some of the extra bits?

Ibby, as the long term supporter of the Reboot, what are your thoughts of what to include and where to break? Everyone else please contribute your ideas as well.

Just saw this suggestion from you Ibby when it was talked about a couple of years ago.
No mention of Final Night, nor the introduction of Ferro in Superman etc. This is also based around the story arc approach.

Any further thoughts?
