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

Another story that I loved and have only read once: the second Adventure Universo story! One of the best stories in LSH history IMO!

One I recently reread and gained a newfound respect for: the Tom Tanner story in the firs archive. I suspect others will agree!

Gosh, I don't own any of these archives, and now I have to get them, so I can keep up with the resurgence of these fifty year old fads!

Kids these days!

FINE. Even thougn the LSH is dead, LSH archives live on. I will also participate (at least through LSH archives 1-11, which I have easily accessible). I do loves writing me a good, old-fashioned retro review. Plus I find it nigh-impossible to not want to participate in EDE-led events. Plus, Power Boy seems RILL excited about this, which is kinda infectious... like a zombie virus or something.

Also, I will link this thread to the LW Facebook page in an attempt to encourage participation there as well. Someone give me a shout-out when we are getting started please!

Lash is back.

We will all rediscover what it's like to be giddy with excitement and love for the Legion together!

LASH MUTHERSPROKING APPROVED!!!!!!!!!


p.s. ... I read the first issue in the Archives ....


zipped lips though.


one more thing:

"SQUEEEEEEE!"

HINT: No underwear.

I also suggest that this would be a great chance to link to classic LW threads whenever we get to a character / thing we've discussed at length in the past! We'll rediscover our history! Like my proudest moment, the Dr. Landro's Hot Nurse thread!

I love the idea of linking to old discussions. With Cobie, Peebs, and EDE at this level of excitement, this could be THE Legion World event of 2013!

... and the shocking return of Legion World's most beloved poster.

Okay, I forwarded Peebs' Archive pic and linked this thread to it over on the Fbook page. Let me know which issues to re-read first, I like to have assigned space-text.

*glares* Just who is this beloved poster? *sees if has enough money to put out a hit on competition; doesn't*

I'm thinking we start with Adventure #247 for Monday, and then proceed at an issue a day (on weekdays). Then we can speed up or slow down as people want. I'm starting to think we should start a fresh thread for the actual reading, and save this one for logistical discussions.

Not just a thread per issue?

Looking forward to this! It's the most excitement I've had about the LSH since I bought "The Curse" HC!

I suspect Zynthia will be elected first runner up Miss Legion World 2013!

All right! Since I can't afford to buy the archives (GOOD LORD COULD THEY BE A LITTLE MORE EXPENSIVE??!!), i'm going to re-read the Reboot Legion instead! Granted, no one but me will be reading that and i'll stick out like a sore thumb, but what the hell. Archives are archives!

I've never read the reboot ... pre Legion of the Damned so I will be paying attention.

*GASP* You totally missed out on some of the most obscure (read: ridiculous) Legion stories around! Personal favorite: BIZARRO LEGION. I just laughed and laughed and laughed. God, I hope you're not expecting something coherent. XD!!

I can't wait until my rereading reaches the reboot! I'm really looking forward to the entire beginning up until the Chu Sting!

Well I was planning on re-doing all my costume template files I use for photomanip references (and adding the men's costumes this time as well), so as long as I am flipping through the comics I may as well read them all again

I say a thread per Archive? And then when we finish the archives we'll haphazardly designate what future Archives should include.

Sounds fair enough. And it shouldn't be too hard to "plan out" later Archives, given that (a) they have relatively fixed page counts, and (b) within that, they'd try to avoid a volume break in mid-story arc.

If we keep up the one issue per weekday pace, it'll be something like nine months before we need to worry about that!

I've got my review of Adv 247 waiting in the wings!

With reprints, I'll probably have a few of those early issues. Might be a while before I recognize a lot of the stories but it will be a fun thread to read.
