Congratulations again. I posted on the Facebook page, but after listening again (Yeah, I’m sorting comics and need something to listen to in the background), I noticed that Paul seems to always be remembering episodes based on what ever was going on with his kids. Funny!
Happy 600th! And a big welcome back to Scott. Good to hear from you again.
So the subject of the week is underrated Legion runs? Got to say I agree with two of the runs mentioned, the 1984 Tales run and the the long Jeff Moy run (can’t with until you get to the “Golden Age Legion” issue!). But I think the standout overlooked run for me is the pre-Zero Hour Legionnaires run – the issues featuring the SW6 kids on New Earth. Maybe it’s because it was that series that was my real jumping on point, even if I didn’t have a clue who these young legionnaires were (I was aware of the older Legion book, even if I wasn’t reading it at the time). This was the first time really that the Legion was treated like actual teenagers with the assortment of jocks, nerds and cool kids.
And it was nice to hear that I wasn’t the only one for whom Crisis on Infinite Earths was the first DC series read.
