Bits of Legionnaire Business
Got way behind on these links, so here's a shot at catching up. Sorry if some of these are old.
- The first of several new additions to my Legion blogroll over there on the left: The Miracle Machine, which is (as stated at the top): "Mostly bitching about comics with an emphasis on The Legion of Super-Heroes". Super-dickery from the Legion.
- The Comics Bronze Age spent a week looking at the Legion in 1973-74, including Superboy 197, 198, 199, 200, and 201.
- Bryan at Laid-Back Comics has a video about the Top 8 Legion Rejects. Interestingly, the author says that he never got into the Legion until the Superman & The Legion story.
- Fanboy Wife has some commentary on Legion Archives vol 1, the Legion of Super-Pets, the LSV, Bouncing Boy, Supergirl the matchmaker, Superboy Planet, and a look at Superboy's X-Ray Vision that is astoundingly accurate.
- Legion Abstract brings us histories of the White Witch, Timber Wolf, Tyroc, and Lightning Lass.
- Get-a-Life Boy brings us the Legion in comics each week. Additionally, Don reviewed "Legion of 3 Worlds" for the April 2010 issue of Analog Science Fiction and Fact, the oldest and most successful science fiction magazine.
- Did you see the pencilled and inked version of page 1 of issue 1 of the new Legion book?
- Tom Bierbaum, co-writer of the TMK v4-era Legion, recalls writing issues 19 and 29 in "It's OK, I'm a Senator!". Those are just the newest entries, he's got lots more in there.
- The Legion of Substitute Podcasters continue their weekly podcast (what else did you expect?). Recently they've covered Adventure 358 (the Most Dangerous Game), LSH v2 283 (spotlight on Wildfire), LSH v2 284 (Levitz returns), and LSH v2 285 (Nullport).
- The Last of the Famous International Fanboys would like to see the Legion in the next Superman movie.
- Bronze Age Babies look back at Superboy 197.

I'm glad you like the x-ray vision. (You missed my post about Dawnstar today!)
The Fanboy Wife's bit on Superboy and X-RRay vision reminds me of a book published in the 70's titles, Super Folks. I connot recall the author, but the book is a humorous take on the Superman legend.
To prevent young Superman from abusing his x-ray vision, some mysterious force causes him to stumble or trip every time he tries to look into the girls' locker room. Therefore, he is considered the clumsiest boy in town and is mever suspected to be Superboy.
Another joke - This Superman is from the planet Kronk and he is only vulnerable to . . .
