About 3 or 4 weeks ago Jimmy, Perry, and I got to talking about the classic Legion of Super-Heroes books and we soon realized that not only had Jimmy not read some of the great early stuff from the 70's and 80's but that both Perry and I had spotty memories as to some of the adventures.

Before we knew it, the challenged had been dropped and we decided to start reading through them at the same time so we could talk about a lot of the things that made it great....and to see if it holds up to the test of time.

So we pulled up our DC Infinite Ultra apps and, while not all issues are there, began reading what they do have.

Here is what we have read so far:

 Issue 200 - The Wedding of Bouncing Boy and Duo Damsel

 Issue 222 - Tyroc centric tale of deception.

 Issue 223 - The Time Trapper!

 Issue 224 - The villain Stargrave - Brainiac 5's Father?

 Issue 225 - Superboy vs new Legion leader Wildfire!

 Issue 226 - First appearance of Dawnstar!

 Issue 227 - The truth about Stargrave!

 Issue 228 - Classic Death of a Legionnaire!
Chemical King

 Issue 229 - Avenging the Legionnaire's death!

 Issue 230 - Possibly worst villain Levitz ever created.  Angry

 Issue 231 - Great Fatal Five story!

 All New Collector's Edition #55 - The Tabloid sized comic showcasing the wedding of Lightning Lad and Saturn girl!  I have a copy of this 10 inch x 14 inch comic somewhere around the house.  Was my favorite back when I was a kid because it looked so huge!

  Issue 232

This is our next up issue (although Jimmy has read ahead!).  Feel free to pop in and join us if you'd like.  We are having a blast re-living the Legion days of old!
