Read More: http://www.comicsalliance.com/2012/...-solicitations-march-2013/#ixzz2EXU30ycN Glad to see them collect Worlds, even if the art is uneven (the #1, #2 and #4 lead stories have *really* bad art) and hopefully it presages collections of The Legion. Format whiplash after the Lost HC though... [And, besides my rage at "Mon-El" rather than M'Onel - at least they got the other codenames right - could they have done a more amateurish job with blanking the old logo/barcode? I hope they've still got all the elements to do a better job on the cover-proper...] Originally posted by Invisible Brainiac:
Didn't the Legion Lost and Legion of the Damned trades also come out during the "Retroboot Era"? Well, the LotD "100 Page Spectacular" wasn't even a TPB, it was just an oversized comic. That it took them two goes to print right (they printed the first attempt ordered as Lgs #79, Lgs #80, LSH #122, LSH #123 - i.e., parts 2→4→1→3 - and so needed to recall and reprint). And, yes, Legionnaires #78 (DnA's first issue, introducing Robotica, mostly drawn by Jeff Moy & co but with an epilogue/LotD prologue by Coipel) and "Widening Rifts" remain unreprinted.

Still, I'm glad they are publishing it (I just wish they had done so a year ago).
First comic books ever bought: A DC four-for-47-cents grab bag that included Adventure #331. The rest is history.

Originals can take you back to time and place better than the compilation, me anyhow. Buying the originals I think is still the better investment on enjoyment. I'm just too lazy to figure out which box and filled with too much fear to see what other boxes got damaged by the meeces.

[/QB] I agree about the originals (even if my own reading was on hiatus during this particular series's run). Sadly, I don't think the originals of today's books will have the same appeal, due to one small, but crucial element that always helped establish the context of a particular book: the letters page. Somehow books without lettercols just don't have the same sense of being tied to a particular time.

I agree with comment on the letters page. Every time I read back issues, I always read the letters page to see what readers and writers were saying at the time. They often lead me to read the back issue that the letters were about. That is one thing I miss the most about today's comics.

Ugh. That was an excellent standalone issue that made for a good prologue to Damned. Shame it wasn't included.

• Collects LEGION WORLDS #1-6. See this? They lied. The TPB was cancelled by DC ( look at the 05/2013 page on this), same as the Lost TPB from last year that was meant to follow the Lost HC. ****. Here's what the final cover would have looked like: ![[Linked Image]](http://www.legionwiki.com/wiki/images/d/dd/LegionWorldsTPBPromo.jpg)
