I've been more a passive fan of the Legion, the new Shooter run is the first time I actively collected each new issue, rather than just pick one at random every few months. This is a shame.Patrick Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04244280974612331889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18787738.post-79055624638524637412008-09-30T15:58:00.000-05:002008-09-30T15:58:00.000-05:00There was one month between LSH v4 #125 and Legion...There was one month between LSH v4 #125 and Legion Lost #1 (March and May 2000), and one month between Legion Lost #12 and Legion Worlds #1 (April and June 2001).

Bad timing, Jim!<BR/><BR/>Still, I love what Johns has done lately to re-acquaint audiences with the Legion's original iteration and I could get pretty excited looking forward to whatever happens in the aftermath of '3 worlds' to launch the Legion's new era.Barthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07939391604186763694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18787738.post-64639254304073754792008-09-30T01:49:00.000-05:002008-09-30T01:49:00.000-05:00I know what you mean, Duke.

I get the sense that they know exactly what they're going to do, but they want to wait until L3W gets further before they say, since announcing they're restarting the pre-Crisis Legion with original numbering (for example - insert "Multiverse Triple-Sized Legion Spectacular" if you prefer) would be a bit of a spoiler.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09826472278173389064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18787738.post-18866797975142311772008-09-29T17:37:00.000-05:002008-09-29T17:37:00.000-05:00Honestly, I don't think they know what they're pla...Honestly, I don't think they know what they're planning.<BR/><BR/>Yes, there were hiatuses in the past, but they always knew what was coming after the hiatus.
