Legion letters pages in particular absolutely RAWKed--especially with Levitz and later, Tom and Mary! They ranked up there with some of the best lettercols ever!

(Remember the run of Claremont/Smith Uncanny X-Men issues (circa the 170s) where the X-Men themselves answered the letters in character? That's up there, too!)

I used to like the older letter pages; where readers would voice their complete thoughts and observations (like Legion World!).

The Waid letter pages that appeared a few times that were illustrated were a weak attempt at space filler - addressing editorial blunders? and were little snip-its that were basically useless.

Agreed 100% with the addition of the 60s ADV lettercols.

So to answer 'Binger's question... yes, I miss them.

Kid Q, I would disagree with you if it weren't for the merciless lie about Bouncing Boy appearing that was told in those WaK "lettercols".

Thank you! I thought I was the only one who missed the letters page. Bring them back, I say, unreservedly, without hesitation.

Maybe we should demand the return of Paul Levitz or Tom and Mary while we're at it! [Big Grin]

Sadly, those aren't part of the archives, so I'll never know they're greatness, as I can't afford those back issues... [Frown]

I think I read somewhere that at one of the recent Comic Conventions Dan Didio asked people what they thought of his useless DC Nation pages... and was met with cheers from the audience! [Embarrassed]

And I wonder why I don't have any other comic-reading friends (present company excluded of course)...

I miss the interactivity of the book. Fans could submit costume ideas, or even character ideas, fans voted on Legion leader, etc. I loved that as a kid, the feeling that the fans were *part* of the creative process.
