I take this as a sign that the Rebirth Legion (ReLegion) will be the Reboot one. I mean, Mark Waid's Flash run is being collected, and was solicited around the time Rebirth first started. And Cassandra Cain's Batgirl stuff is being collected, no doubt to tie-in to her reappearance in Batman & Robin Eternal.

It's not a sure fire thing, since as far as I know Linda Danvers hasn't reappeared or anything to tie-in with PAD's Supergirl being collected -- though that might just be because it's one of the few good Supergirl runs and can tie-in to the show -- but I'm definitely leaning towards the Reboot Legion being the one that's returning.

While I love what I've read of the Reboot Legion (most of what's in this trade, Legion of the Damned), I was hoping for a fresh start, tbh. I dunno, I think a completely new version of the Legion is more new-reader friendly, which the Legion definitely needs.


There's a fine line between not listening and not caring. I like to think that I walk that line every day of my life.

Amazon removed the date on the Legends companion, which usually means it's cancelled.

Ha ha. I loved PAD's Supergirl, but I'm picturing Supergirl fans getting their parents to buy them this, and it winds up being about a blob of bubble gum that merges with a Satanist to become Supergirl.

According to Bleeding Cool, there's going to be a DnA Legion series starting with the Robotica prelude, SF&O #2, Damned & Rifts. Presumably this is instead of the Damned/Rifts/Lost book above, which Amazon have removed date/etc info from.

From the best-selling creators of ANNIHILATION, Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning’s legendary run on the 31st century heroes is now re-collected in a new graphic novel series, THE LEGION BY DAN ABNETT AND ANDY LANNING VOL. 1!

After finding their way back to Earth after being stranded in a distant galaxy, the Legion of Super-Heroes, including young heroes like Live Wire, Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, Chameleon, XS, Brainiac 5.1, Apparition and more, are faced with protecting the United Planets from the worst threats in the universe. This rebooted 1990s team breathed a whole new life into the legendary Legion, guided by superstar creators-in-the making Abnett and Lanning.

It's interesting also, if true, in that this would give us the start of complete runs of both major postboot eras (call them the Moy years and the DnA years) in 2017. Legionnaires Book One is due out in less than a month, and The Legion by DnA Vol. 1 (apparently) in September.

Excellent. I saw the Legionnaires Book One ad on Facebook, and they picked a pretty good spot to cut the trade - after Tangleweb's capture, after Triad is stabilized in the hospital, but before the Composite Legionnaire and Saturn Girl's mental "injury", and Kinetix's depowering. And if I remember right, before the White Triangle story started to kick into high gear.

Did anyone get the Legionnaires TPB? How's the quality? $45.00 is a pretty hefty price tag for something that's I already mostly have in TPB form in "Beginning of Tomorrow".

I picked it off the shelf. Then I had a skim through it. I got a reminder that this was when I dropped the book after a long time. I've probably got the issues in it (picked up after I eventually got the issue when Andromeda, Vi and Kinetix joined which is also in this). But I didn't feel the urge to buy it at full price. Something else else about the paper quality seemed a bit odd too, but then I don't buy loads of TPBs, so that might be me.

Happy that this new collection includes the inductions of Kinetix, Violet and Andromeda. The last one cut off JUST before those three joined.

Also includes the end of the Tangleweb arc (with Leviathan getting much-needed closure), and Triad's origin.

Good move cutting it just before the Composite Legionnaire two-parter, that ended with a catatonic Imra... not a good cliffhanger.

The Induction issue was a good one, for anyone here who is tempted and hasn't read it.
