Legion continuity flowchart v2

Can't tell Legion continuity without a scorecard? Well, here's your scorecard. What do you mean they have a complicated history? Just follow the flowchart!

Last fall, I posted a graphic showing the Legion's continuity as a "choose your own adventure" flowchart. Since then, we have added one new mainstream version of the team (coming next month in volume 9!) and seen all the others locked up in Brainiac 1M's timeline bottle repository. So I figure it's time for an update. This new image is updated through the recent Superman Annual 2026 Year One Thousand. The Legions seen in Brainiac 1M's bottles are shown in orange.

• Bleeding Cool thinks there might be a Legion panel. DC is spotlighting the 1950s, and the Legion was created in 1958, of course. And there's a new series coming up in September, with the Superman Annual coming out the same week as the convention.
• Here's a little teaser from Williamson and Sherman on the Legion.
• There are at several new "Supergirl & the LSH" #23 unofficial variant covers for sale on Preview Night, all through ANZ Collects and all on eBay Live. You may recall a couple of other unofficial variants of this issue were sold at the 2023 SDCC.
• Here's an Instagram post showing all five covers, by Kyu Yong Eom (gold virgin foil, limited to 250), Nathan Szerdy (silver virgin foil, limited to 350), a generic logo (virgin foil, limited to 650), Ariel Diaz (virgin, limited to 850), and David Nakayama (trade, limited to 900).
• On Threads, Hayden Sherman said "I’m told there will also be a LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES ashcan!"
• Plus, of course Legion World is going to be there again! Look for their booth in the Mezzanine level. Here's their post with all the details.

Legion reprint collections for Amazon Prime Day 2026

If you decide to treat yo'self (or someone else) for Amazon Prime Day this year, or just for no particular reason, and you want to get some Legion reprint collections, may I recommend these? This is a list of all of the trade paperbacks and hardback collections that are primarily or wholly focused on the Legion (and not a list of every single reprint collection that has a cameo of Starman or Mon-El).

Click the link to order from Amazon, but there's no guarantee that the book is in print or even in stock (and if not, sorry, you'll probably have to pay a premium for it). If you want a detailed look at which issues are in each volume, well, you're in luck because I've already done that for you! Check out this page for a summary of all the reprint volumes (same table as you see here) and using the tabs at the bottom you can see not only what was reprinted but also my projections at future reprint collections.

Below, "H" means available in hardcover, "P" means trade paperback, and "D" means digital. 

Coming by the end of the year: Legion of Super-Heroes by Mark Waid and Barry Kitson Omnibus
