I'm sure it is, but I'd rather wait and see if there will be more Archives and if it'll be reprinted there. In the old Archives speculation threads here (regarding what will and won't be included in future volumes), most posters felt that crossover would be included. certainly, there have been LESS significant appearances included, such as the original Insect Queen story that had no Legion appearance.


Still "Lardy" to my friends!

The JLA/JSA/LSH crossover was reprinted in volume 4 of the Crisis on Multiple Earths series.

Have the Archives skipped those stories or are they still coming up?


Let's see....there was (using my own system of estimating where each fits into Legion continuity, regardless of actual cover date)

DC Special # 28, which I put between Superboy/Legion 227 and 228

JLA 147-148 (somewhere around S/LSH 232-233) and included (as Rob-Em says) in the Crisis On Multiple Earths TPB volume 4

DC Super-Stars # 17 (between 233-234)

All New Collector's Edition #C-55 (aka TDT, falling between 236-237)

Kamandi #58, which continues out of Karate Kid's last issue (#15) and leads (sorta) into S/LSH 242

DC Comics Presents #13, which fits between 252-253, although not published until after 254

Super-Star Holiday Special (no number), between 261-262

Secrets of the LSH mini-series, which happens around 272 or so

Superman Family #207, between LSH 275-276

Brave and Bold #179, between LSH 280-281

DC Comics Presents #43, between 284-285

World's Finest #284, between LSH Annual #1 and LSH #290 (although published after 291)

Brave & Bold # 198 (between 298-299)

DC Comics Presents # 59 (between 300-301)

Superboy # 50 (between 307-308)

DC Comics Presents #80 (between Baxter Series #8-9)

...and of course the various annuals and specials, plus the 15 issue Karate Kid series and the 12 issues of Tales of the Legion of Super-Heroes that weren't reprints of the Baxter series.



At least the first few of these would fit into Archive #14, if it happens. Speaking of which, do you think the Karate Kid series should be included in the Archives? I was not a big fan of that series myself and wouldn't miss it, although there were a couple of plot threads that were wrapped up in the main series.

As to the subject matter of all of these...well, I want to get this posted sometime this century, so I'm skipping that part for now smile


First comic books ever bought: A DC four-for-47-cents grab bag that included Adventure #331. The rest is history.

I'm trying to remember who turned Marte Allon into glass and if there was a glass-turning in the story it sequelized. hmmm

It'll be nice, in any case, to get to "Colossal Failure"/"School for Super-Villains" relatively soon in the Archives Re-read project.

I think that Legion Archives #14 if it's published (and I think that's a pretty big if) should include just the regular Superboy & the LSH issues & All New Collector's Edition #C-55.

I hope they include all the miscellaneous ones!

I remember when I first discovered New Adventures of Superboy #50, complete with 80's Giffen cover, and flipped since I never knew about it before! All these random issues are kewl.

So I actually got it now, arrived in Germany rather quickly and what can I say, it's a decent story and the artwork is splendid! I was surprised to see how well the Legion adapted to Infantinos style, looked good. And the pinups by Perez were excellent of course.

Had mostly forgotten about Tarik the Mute. So, this is it now, I have actually read every classic Legion story there ever was... feels kinda strange. Good thing is that I seem to have forgotten a whole lot, as my last complete read was in the 90s. Guess it's time to finally pick up those beautiful HC books that I bought just for their good looks til now...
