I think the person in my family besides me who would most enjoy LW is actually my mother.

The Boyfriend, of course, has a character based on him, but he doesn't read super-hero comics.

Same with me. Blaze is already an established LMBer, but besides a few issues of the Postboot Legion he hasn't read anything. He doesn't even read my LMB fics anymore.

There are a few other characters I've created who have some basis in people I know. Certainly Rocky's mother is based on my mother.

On the other hand, Old Dutch the Super-Cow is based as much on Aunt Clara from Bewitched as anything else.

I'm not so good at creating new characters. I'm better at taking existing ones and running with them.

Ibby, I notice you always refer to the 1994-2004 incarnation of the Legion as "Postboot" (with, one assumes, the original referred to as "Preboot"). I pretty much missed that era of the Legion, but I know I usually refer to at as "Reboot" era, which, of course, was followed by "Threeboot".

Yes, in my mind Postboot and Reboot are interchangeable. I just prefer Postboot as a term.

It's also known by Post-Zero Hour and, derogatorily, as the Archie Legion.

Come to think of it, Jeff Moy's art would look good on Archie.

I think Moy was a great fit for the Postboot Legion. He captured their youth and optimism so well.

The Archie Legion threw me as I had picked up an issue where they were trapped in some 1950s analogue. So I thought it only referred to some lost part of the team in that setting.

Ah, that would be LSH 92 I think.

I think the Archie Legion was originally coined to refer to Moy's art style, and some also felt that the stories were very Archie-like in tone.

I've been watching reruns of All in the Family a lot lately. Antenna TV has two episodes on every night, right after Bewitched. Going from Samantha Stephens to Archie Bunker is quite a transition.

Yeah, that would be about right. I had a few issues in the 60s then a big jump to one in the 90s and then a couple in the 100s.

Re thothkins, I think most would agree that the earlier issues (up to around 82) were the better part of the Postboot era. For Legionnaires, it would be up until issue 56 or so.


I'm eagerly waiting for the new season of Criminal Minds though.

Boston's CW affiliate, WLVI, derives its call letters from the Roman numerals for its channel number, 56.

Previously, it had been WKBG, which reflected its then-joint ownership by Kaiser Broadcasting and The Boston Globe. When the newspaper sold its shares to Kaiser, they went to the present callsign, which has endured through many changes in ownership.

Boston has another TV station with a callsign derived from Roman numerals: ABC affiliate WCVB stands for Channel V (5) Boston.

Well, if I really wanted to kill it, I'd start discussing the Dewey Decimal Classification System. It's more fun the 793s!

Ah, so that's Rocky's strategy! Spouting facts which other people would think uninteresting.

But I am not like other people!

I've read that the University of Illinois uses no less than four different classification systems. Dewey Decimal is the most common, but the next is the Library of Congress System.

I got Superboy and the Legion of Super Heroes # 252 at a flea market when I was a kid ...

It was a great issue where the Starburst bandits kicked the crap out of the LSH!

Wasn't that also one of Blok's appearances?

You know, I think this thread might not die until I visit Myanmar in October. I heard the Internet's terrible over there.
