dewline: Legion of Super-Heroes logo variant (LSH)
[personal profile] dewline
Some of you may be aware that up until Flashpoint, I was a regular reader of most of the DC Universe line of titles. In fact, I was a particular fan of the Legion of Super-Heroes. That title was a Superman spinoff of sorts, featuring what started out as a club for teenaged superheroes from across the known portion of the Milky Way galaxy in the 30th and 31st Centuries.

It's been through many changes over the decades, and some of the ones I enjoyed most came during the 1989-1994 stretch as co-created by Keith Giffen, Tom and Mary Bierbaum, Al Gordon, Jason Pearson and Stuart Immonen (among others). I know there's a lot of argument over the quality level amongst the hardcore LSH fans to this day, but I still stand with Keith, Tom and Mary (known to some of you here on LJ through Tom's writings at [livejournal.com profile] itsokimasenator.

Why do I raise this subject now?

Well, DC Comics recently had an idea that I do approve of about their digital comics sales plans: they've started re-releasing that LSH run, beginning with # 1-4.

I already have my hardcopy editions and I plan to hold onto them for as long as I can. But for those of you who want to show your support anew for that run and those creators? Those of you who might be curious and looking for a harder sort of "social sci-fi" than usual to go with your superheroics? Where the consequences of doing the right thing can be unpredictable despite the best of motives and the most careful effort of your heroes?

This might be something to add to your hard drive's legitimate collection.

Just a thought.
