An old friend showed up in the mail today, my absolute favorite poster as a kid, the 80's Giffen "every Legion character"!  A couple of closer shots:   So cool!! That is so awesome!! |

I didn't read the Legion at the time, but I think that while leafing through an issue I saw Laurel Kent turning out to be a Manhunter during the Millenium crossover. Is that really what happened?

Yep, did not see that one coming when I was reading the series as a kid, and honestly, it felt more weird to me than some clever amazing twist. Kind of threw away a somewhat interesting character for not so much payoff IMO. |

Whelp, less than one month and counting for the Legion Finest Collection  Can't wait, definitely gonna pre-order it "This first collection starring the greatest heroes of the 30th century features long out-of-print tales from November 1968 to July 1974, such as War of the Wraith-Mates, The Fatal Five Who Twisted Time, and The Impossible Target, pulled from the pages of ACTION COMICS #378-387 and #389-392, ADVENTURE COMICS #374-380 and #403, and SUPERBOY #172-173, #176, #183-184, #188, #190-191, #193, #195, and #197-203." |

Great looking trade, and a really fun era with the transition from the end of the classic Adventure run all the way into co-headlining the Superboy book and that great Dave Cockrum art (plus the first Mike Grell issue!). I have a soft spot for those Action comics back-up stories too in between. The Wildfire introduction as "ERG-1" in Superboy #195 alone is such a classic. Plus a fair amount of the all too rare Chemical King appearances, who never got his due IMO. Hope you enjoy it! |

Timber Wolf...the original Wolverine! And of course when Cockrum created the Legion homage at Marvel with the Shi’ar Imperial Guard in X-Men, Fang was the Timber Wolf copy. And then Wolverine took and wore Fang’s costume at one point, so you might say Wolvie briefly became T-Wolf, in a manner of speaking haha. |
