Re: Recent Legion-verse sightings in DCU proper

That's actually interesting - I don't think it will completely cover the gap, but there are a LOT of 70s stories not collected in any hardcover outside the archives. Not to sound overly negative, but I think the vast majority of 70s Legion stories are just not good reading -- even the first two Cockrum stories (Superboy 184 and 188) have eye-rollingly dumb scripts (Tenzil "eating" a death ray!) Of course, everyone has the right to make up their own mind, but I'm just trying to look at it from the point of view of potential new readers. I still think DC missed the boat by not starting with Cockrum's third story (Superboy 190.) That one has Tharok and Validus, loads of action, and Imra shining.

Interesting that they seem to be doing the Cockrum/Grell era rather than yet another reprinting of the Adventure stories.
I'm all in for the JSA volume, though. What I don't understand is why they wouldn't start out with Cockrum's first story, instead of preceding it with a big bunch of the stories leading up to it. They're not well drawn at all, and this could cause a lot of potential readers to pass on the trade.

DC's new softcover bookstore line DC Finest will debut at the end of the year, and the classic Legion are set to be a part of it: https://bleedingcool.com/comics/details-of-dc-finest-dc-comics-version-of-marvels-epic-line/DC Finest: Legion of Super-Heroes $39.99 US On sale Dec 10, 2024 | 505 Pages A major new line of DC collected editions begins with the earliest stories starring the Legion of Super-Heroes! DC Finest: The Legion of Super-Heroes collects all the tales that make the it the perfect fit for any fan or new reader! DC Finest is intended to be "affordably priced" (at 500 pages for $40) so maybe this could be an opportunity to get collections of old Legion stories into people's hands without burning half a paycheck.

Not:

yay, more!
nice seeing (some of) the Cavalry again. pluberries, a nice touch!
a new invention from Evolvo Lad, amazing! this is gonna "level up" your team for sure! does it only work point-to-point? that is, they can only teleport to another porting unit? seems so, but still very useful!
Loving the solution - really love the idea of superheroes doing more humanitarian work!
ooh, sad fate for Iceland, but oh well. I can see the human race letting poor Iceland get to such a state
I love how Sizzle is both self-aware, and not really caring at how "raw" she is! Love it, love it!
also love how you've woven in Sizzle's world's beliefs, and her own journey, and her own self-awareness of that journey!
and indeed, how different she is from most of Dirk's dates... hah!
oh and Derek Morgna, interested to see where you take this!
ah and here we go right away! Sun Killer! did he appear in the comics?
ooh yeah, thanks for realistically portraying trauma. Poor Laurel... but good of her to be professional and focused enough to use her noodle in this situation!
good old Sizzle for talking sense into Dirk! (props to Vi for trying too)
oooph at Derek's thoughts about Dirk. bit of overbearing dad there, though also, not entirely unfair considering Dirk's playboy image
loving T-Lad's powers!! really useful for hostage situations!
nice save by Sizzle! although yikes...
nice pep talk by Vi - mix of tough love and encouragement! and good on Laurel for working through it!
the Emerald Emperor! wow!
nice installment, raz, some awesome developments too!
