Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes What I found today at my LCS!

LOL That was basically my reaction, too. I was like, are there pages missing or something? I don't see any tearing or loose staples.

Sometimes Snyder rivals even Morrison for incoherence.

Another nice week for me, thanks to my LCS, Legends.

The Secret Society of Super Villains, numbers 1 and 2.

Silver Age Justice League of America: issues 104, 106, 117, 132, 141, 146, and 177.

And as usual, two new issues, Green Lantern Season 2 #3, and Hawkman number 23.

I could still drop a wad, but I don't have it to drop, so I eke it out.

And Ann, we are of a similar mind.

I picked up a few obscure books from the bargain bin the other day:

UNEXPECTED #177, from 1977, and a Dark Horse book from 1995, WOLF AND RED #2. I got #1 and 3 when they originally came out, but I missed #2. Now I have the whole 3 issue mini-series.

Congratulations, Malvolio! Always feels great completing a mini-series!

Mal...Excellllllent! *Steeples fingers evilly*

Was that when Captain Comet was hanging around the JLA Satellite?



Spiffy Len Wein written tales in 104 and 106

Yellowjacket rejoins the JLA in 117. That's who I always thought the silhouette looked like, anyway.

Isn't 141 a giant length issue. Checks... yups.., and it's the cracking Manhunters one too!

146 is a follow up to 106, so that's a nice combo. And giant sized too I see.

Some really good reads in there.

I was wrong, it isn't SSSV #1, it was 11. Seems the edge was shaved off. I could have been, it was when he returned to earth the first time.

I remember reading for the first time that he was a honorary member, and being a baffled li'l thoth. It turned out Comet had teamed up with everyone at the time. Just the sort of thing that characters do at the start of their books. But with Comet, it didn't stick. Possibly because Conway didn't last long on SSoSV. Looking back, I guess Comet might have been the next member of the team but perhaps 1)Sales weren't strong 2) Plans for the JLA changed 3) Conway might have lost interest after leaving SSoSV 4) DC Implosion.

Today on "Glen's Wad"... *some of you that like goofy movies will get this. And smile, I hope.

The Secret Society of Super Villains. Yup, keeping on the trend... Numbers 7, 12, 13, and 14.

Hawkman, the Miskin and Howell series...numbers 14 and 15.

Shazum number 12 of the current series. Nice fillin issue, Billy really seemed like a kid, but they all seem to forget the wisdom of Solomon because even as big red cheese, he makes kid mistakes.

And finally, Aquaman 58. The art is great on this, but it reads like a bad soap opera. Just my thoughts. I do like that there is an actual, two part WORD BALLOON on the cover. Holy Fracken Hellzebub.

Picked up a few back issues last week:

HOUSE OF SECRETS #142 (1976)

BLACK ORCHID #8 (1994)

A lot of good horror comics from the 70s, 80s and 90s in my LCS back issue bin these days.

Excellent haul, Mal. I looked for that Black Orchid series, but I never really had it from my old LCS. Was that where she was really the plant elemental?

Yes. It was also where she had that little sister character. I believe she was named Suzy and she crossed over with Animal Man's daughter Maxine.

Cool. Was it a good series?

Yeah, I enjoyed that version of Black Orchid.

Well, of course I got Legion #6, that's a given. I may not be enthralled with the series so far, but I'm gonna give it a fair try. Normally I'd reach my decider point at 6 issues, but I'll try a few more.
Then, Justice League 46. I swear, seems like this thing jumps around a metric shit ton.

Remember the Steel series from the late 70's from DC? Got one through four.
16 and 17 of the Isabella started Hawkman series from the 80's.
DC Comics presents 11 with Superman and Hawkman. Starting to see a theme here?

And finally, Wolfman and Perez New Teen Titans 19, guest starring...well, Hawkman.

Hello all. Well, I am gonna say this was a good haul this week. I was able to splurge a little since I only had three new issues, those being Hawkman #24, Green Lantern #4, and Nightwing annual #3.

Okay, this was Silver age Justice League of America heavy, ain't gonna lie. Number 44, the "plague that struck the Justice League". Rough shape, but I buy them to read, not to collect.
Justice League # 62, "Panic from a Blackmail Box".
JL #72. Very rough shape with the back half of the cover missing. But, Hawkgirl is SUPER PROMINANT. Hawkman is a pillar of salt.
JL# 121, Adam Stange gets married.
JL 3 125, Harvey Dent Joins the Justice League.
JL 130. Hawkman head and weird purlple torso with flash legs. This strikes a chord, but I can't say I remember it all.
JL 131. "Do Not Feed The Humans". Looks like a take on Planet of the Apes.
JL 142. Giant sized with a robot kicking Ralph, Arthur and Ray's butt tocks.
JL 144. A crossover issue with what looks like everyone.

The Flash #222 guest starting Hal.

And what is for me a personal favorite, Dynamic Classics #1, featuring Batman in "the secret of the Waiting Graves", and the start of the Archie Goodwin Paul Kirk Manhunter series.

I's gonna be havin' fuuuuuun.

Great haul. Happy reading.

A real mixed bag of JLA issues. Great fun.

Sad thing is, I can only read for a short time before I get a headache now. I can use a computer all day, but reading only about 30 mins. Old age sucks ass.

30 mins = 2 Silver Age Justice League issues or 20 Bendis written comics.

I'm dozing off while reading. I guess it's saving me from the headaches.

Have you tried reading the comics on the computer?

You might just need new glasses. I sometimes get headaches when I try to read small print.

I probably do, but that's a bill for another day. Sam has a tooth, it seems.

Anywho....

Big haul for the legion this week. Some of them I've had before, some new to me.

Superboy and the Legion #233, the Infinite Man.

S&TLSH number 240, Grimbor.
S&TLSH # 242, looks like an Earthwar issue. Quick look, yup. Even did a writeup on it in Fanzinq way back when.
S&TLSH #243, continuing Earthwar.
S&TLSH #244, continuing Earthwar, the Circle.
S&TLSH # 245, Mordru.
S&TLSH #248, Mon punches Dirk, apparently.
S&TLSH #249, Chemoid leans in.
S&TLSH # 251, Omega times 2.
S&TLSH # 252, Firehorse.
And then a couple of new ones.

Aquaman # 60, and Justice Leagues 45 and 47.

Very nice, Rick. Enjoy.

I like the backup story in 240 better than the Grimbor lead. Really good, and all too rare, spotlight on Dawnstar.

Love your descriptions of each issue, Rick! Happy reading

Thanks, Ibby. It was.

Well, this weeks haul is as Legion light as last weeks was heavy.

New Teen Titans, #18. Marv and George do Russian Starfire. Comrade buddy Smash Pretty Gold girl with Column. Guess he really was a Colomnist.

Hawkman #27, "When the Snow-Fiend Strikes!", or, What Katar gave up for lint(balls).

Green Lantern #24, featuring "the Strange World Named Green Lantern", or Green Lantern Vs. Green Lava Dude, based on the cover.

Green Lantern #91, Hal Vs. Sinestro in clothes the dry cleaner rejected.

Green Lantern #126, Hal vs. The shark, or "Shark pops a squat on the dock!"

Green Lantern #143, Hal and the Omega Men conclusion, or "Hal Vs. Laser Lar-E" based on the cover.

And finally, the Green Lantern 80th Anniversary edition with Alan, Hal, John, Kyle, Guy and two other gl's on the cover, unless that's also Mogo.

Hopefully, I'll have more time to peruse next week and find some Legion stuff.
