That really sucks that there are only 91 pages in a supposed 100-page one-shot/reprint. Especially in light of the fact that they appear to have excised part of the story (Live Wire's journey to the Stem after being shot with tangleweed).
*** SPOILER!!! ***
As I recall, he was merely pulled underground into some sort of transport sap artery and conveyed into the Stem itself. Unfortunately, I can't recall what happened once he got there, and don't have the original issue here with me in Ottawa to check.
If the meek shall inherit inherit the Earth, then I at least want Baffin Island - and a property manager to work for me who is made of sterner stuff than I.

So are they planning on reprinting Widening Rifts as well? Seems silly not to, as it bridges the gap between Damned and Lost.
First comic books ever bought: A DC four-for-47-cents grab bag that included Adventure #331. The rest is history.

Unfortunately, I can't recall what happened once he got there, and don't have the original issue here with me in Ottawa to check. I don't have a copy of the reprint just yet but I believe all the LOD interiors were reprinted. Power Boy listed 22 pages per issue and that is what was contained in the original issues. I believe you are referring to the opening sequence in Legion of Super-Heroes #124 Widening Rifts-Part 1. The opening splash page features Garth face down in the root network of the stem. Page 2 and page 3 has Garth roaming in the stem but page 4 reveals that Garth is just dreaming (reliving the nightmare).

Since the LOD reprint is now due May 11th and the Legion Lost trade in mid-June, I doubt it. My preference would have been for DC to make the LOD a trade and include Legionnaires #78 (Prelude to LOD) and the three-issue Widening Rifts storyline (LSH #124, L*81 and LSH #125). Of course, a boatload of extras in both would have been nice as well!

Widening Rifts sets up Legion Lost. These 4 issues would fill in a lot of gaps for first-time readers. I'm sure most of them would appreciate Lost more if they could see firsthand what the team went through before getting lost!

Maybe because it was purely a crass business decision designed for no other reason than to cash in on Coipel's current popularity? Or am I just being cynical?

Not at all.
Of course that's the reason.

For some reason (maybe because of the recall) this didn't get added to the GCD. But since it did get out to real customers, it needs to be added.
What's the exact title of this comic in the indicia (the small print on the DC Nation page)? Since the cover title doesn't match the solicitation, I need to know what it's called in the indicia.

It isn't on this week's list (only DCP is a Flash story) or next week (a Batman DCP). Hmmm...

Three bucks? Good for you. That's about as close to holding the line at $2.99 as you can get. I wish my shop ran specials like that.
Beauty's where you find it. Not just where you bump and grind it.

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.

You loved it ... all over?  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.
