my shop is insane. im worried about them. they had a 1 dollar back issue deal today, i got many duplicates of uncanny x-men and justice league (giffen and demaites era) from my childhood. as mine are all very very worn. they didn't have much legion left.
i hope they're doing ok.

Got it. Read it. Loved it all over again. Cham, XS and Saturn Girl really shine in this story.

haha, I agree about the characters, i hadn't read a single Archie Legion issue before this, and became fans of XS, Live Wire, Mon, Saturn Girl, Monstress, Cham, etc.

Saw this yesterday. Maybe I'll pick it up later. Coipel's scratchy style reminds me a little of Steve Leialoha, who I loved to pieces back in the day.

I am really glad DC reprinted LOD as this is one of my all-time favorite Legion stories. This edition not being a trade is a bit of a disappointment but I am happy that we have a 100-page Legion spectacular!

I really liked Coipel's dark scratchy style back then too. It had a lot of energy and gesture.
his style became polished very quickly. which is good, i like his stuff now too.

Me too, This four issue series, which was heavily promoted brought me back to the legion after an Archie boycott. I guess DC dosn't think it has the same gravity that I do.
Well, It did end the volume, start LegionWorld and return with a new volume the Legion.
now i'm thinking of all the early character designs by Olivier that could've been included in a TPB!! argh

Power Boy--what an inspiration! Perhaps we can make this string of messages the e-trade Legion of the Damned? I would need about a week or so to pull some scans together but the scans would include concept “pencil only” LOD drawings by Olivier Coipel of Karate Kid, Umbra, Ultra Boy, Cham, Live Wire, Apparition, Shvaughn, XS and the Blight. IIRC, seeing XS in her tattered outfit is heartbreaking. The image is poignant and, despite the tattered outfit, XS is absolutely adorable. If this is of interest here, please let me know and I will try to scan these images by next week. In the interim, perhaps someone can post the images of the covers and post them here because that is certainly something DC could have included but didn’t.
