For the longest time I thought "dupa" was just a slang word rather than the Polish word for your behind.

Marvel's Jamie Madrox makes multiple "dupes" of himself.
If Luornu Durgo were written the way I think she should be written, she'd be able to make multiple "dupes" of herself.
Therefore, I think Lu's code name should not be Triplicate Girl or Duo Damsel or Triad or Duplicate Damsel, but rather "Dupa."
Just kidding on that last part.
OTOH, Preboot Lu did, in my humble opinion, act like a horse's dupa by leaving her loving, one-in-a-million husband Chuck in order to go off on a suicide mission against the Time Trapper.

Actually in the last Legion series, Luornu was able to make unlimited duplicates and got the name Duplicate Damsel

Oh, that's right. But even with the right power set, she still wasn't well-written (and, really, was anyone in the Retroboot well-written?)

The Retroboot, IMO, proved the old saying, "You can't go home again," to be true.

Sadly, yes. It just did not have that Legion magic.

Now, the Postboot Legion, that did have a lot of the Legion magic. I'll take even the worst of the Postboot (say, Gim's death and Emerald Vi, or the Bizarro Legion) over the best of...ahem...CERTAIN OTHER ERAS, anytime.

High five, Ibby. You're very welcome.  I already told you this via PM, but I might as well share it with the rest of Legion World: I'm about 15 comic books away from completing a full set of the Postboot Legion, from LSH #0/L* #0 through The Legion #33 (I don't count Gail Simone's Legion arc as Postboot canon, I see it as yet another continuity.) Point being, I couldn't be happier about this.

Yay! So happy for you Fanfie. I remembwr being tickled pink whenever I added a new issue to my collection.

For a while now, I have stopped looking for back issues of any comic.

I have too. It's becoming a bit too expensive for me now.

When I was in my Junior year of High School was when I first got seriously into super-heroes. This collecting mania continued, nay, expanded, after I started college. I often went hungry rather than miss out on a good back issue deal.
I don't do that anymore, though.
Heady times, heady times.

Alas, things change.
One thing I miss is being excited about new issues as they come out.

I know what you mean, Ibby. I'm grateful to have at least a couple comics to look forward to as individual issues -- Superwoman, definitely, and, hopefully, the Doom Patrol revival will turn out to be good (just a week and a half before the first issue is in stores!)

The cost of comics was what kept me from following more than 3 monthly titles at a time. I did try following JLA ad JSA for a while after Infinite Crisis.
