Warner Bros. Animation has confirmed that this will be the last season for Legion of Super Heroes.

Legion of Super Heroes is currently wrapping up its second season, which will also be last season for the show. With the series no longer in production, fans can expect four more new episodes before the series comes to a close. Two new episodes will be aired over the next two weeks, but the two-part series finale has yet to be officially scheduled.

Warner Bros. Animation is currently working on a new Batman team-up animated series, tentatively titled Batman: The Brave and The Bold, and a host of direct-to-video DC Universe Animated Original Movie features.


Mykey of DC Cosmic Teams has posted an interview with Paul Levitz from Comics Feature #15. It takes place when he began writing Legion of the Super-Heroes in 1980.

Here are some links to some of the best Legion fansites on the net.

* The Legion of Super-Heroes Help-File is a great source for Legion lore with detailed information and issue synopses from Adventure #247 to Legion Lost #12. Weighing in at a small 1.6mb with no installation (just unpack and go), this is arguably the best Legion resource outside of owning the back issues. One caveat, though...the author, C.M. Keller, did most of his entires with the Valor retcon in mind, so check out the "Retcons" & "Stories not in Continuity" subjects first if you're not familiar with that event.

* Interlac, the first and still-running apa dedicated to the Legion of Super-Heroes

* The Legion Omnicom is an awesome Legion blog

* The Legion wiki, very much a work-in-progress

* Legion World message board is host to many Legion fans, as is

* Legion Abstract is also a great blog for Legion analysis, reviews and commentary

* The Legion of Micro Super Heroes has the Legion broken down into eras, subjects, and in group shots.

* Ze Ball Breaker Micro-Heros Site has the Legion micros listed by character.

* Also The Legion of Sim Heroes has skins, objects, opening screen replacement, etc. for The Sims

* Ever wondered where one 31st century planet was in relation to another? The Hitchhiker's Guide to the 30th Century features most planets of the 31t century Milky Way.

* Mighty God King's "Why I Should Write The Legion" is always a good read, and one of many Legion Fan-Ficts.

* The Pocket Universe Primer is an excellent attempt at explaining the convoluted history of Superboy, the Legion, and the Time Trapper.

* Take a Time Bubble ride to the most comprehensive Silver Age Legion of Super-Heroes site that I know of. Almost everything you wanted to know about the Silver Age Legion, but were afraid to ask. Also proof that the version schism between Legion fans began probably earlier than most of us thought, back in 1968!

* Fans of Captain Carrot & Earth-26(the pre-COIE Earth-C)will love the Lotta Species Heroes list of 31st century heroes and villians.

* The Kids WB Legion of Super-Heroes homepage of the Legion animated series

* Bits O' Legionnaire Business has exactly that

* The Legion of Super-Heroes Online Companion and The Legion of Super-Heroes Clubhouse focus on the Silver Age incarnation of the Legion!

Since 2008 is the 50th anniversary of the Legion, I thought they should be up next for the fave 5. DC Comics has some stuff planned out for this year, including the awesome "Superman and the Legion of Super Heroes" story which should be ending in next month's Action Comics.

Legion of Super-Heroes v2 #300



This was the 1st Legion issue I ever picked up, about 15 years ago. I still catch myself reading it from time to time!

Legion of Substitute-Heroes Special #1



Because of this special, I LOVE the subs!

Adventure Comics #312



Great story of sacrifice from the Legion's early days, and also an inspiration for "The Lightning Saga"

Legion of Super-Heroes v2 #293



If you haven't read "The Great Darkness Saga" run to your LCS and find them! Awesome Legion story, the one that got me totally hooked!

Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes (paperback, 1977)



Long Live The Legion!



"Legion of Super Heroes" returns in a new timeslot – 9:30 a.m. ET/PT – with an all-new episode that examines the formation of the future corps of heroes. The "In the Beginning" synopsis: While on a mission to rescue the Legion's benefactor, R.J. Brande, our heroes find themselves reminiscing about how the Legion was first created by Brande and its founding members: Cosmic Boy, Lightning Lad, and Saturn Girl. The episode is written by Steven Melching and directed by James Tucker.

I have a small (2,500) comic book collection and about 50 trade paperbacks, graphic novels and the like. I was reading this thread today which made me think: Which collected trades should I get? Here's a ongoing list of stuff I wanna get:

Marvel:
*Planet Hulk Omnibus (Though I'm only missing the last chapter from the story)

DC:
*Heroes - The Graphic Novel (for my girl, she loves that show...)
*New Teen Titans - The Judas Contract TPB
*Batman - Knightsend (Got the Knightfall TPB way back in '93... wonder if it's still in print?)
*Superman - Return of Superman (just to complete the Death of/World Without a Superman TPBs)
*Crisis On Infinite Earths (to help with a future project of mine)
*The Legion of Super-Heroes - An Eye For An Eye TPB (Kinda symbolic for me...)
*Superman - Whatever Happened To The Man of Tomorrow? (best Superman story EVER)

DC/Vertigo:
*Death:The High Cost of Living TPB
*V For Vendetta
*The Witching Hour
*Y The Last Man vol. 1-9


It's been a few days since the last post, and I'll be off again until January 2nd so here's a lil news to ring in the new year with...

Check out the CBLDF's* Year End Review letter here.
DC Comics officially confirmed Frank Quitely's Exclusive contract, while Jae Lee has been confirmed a 3-year exclusive with Marvel. Green Lantern:Rebirth #1 is going back for a fourth printing. Here's an excerp from the press release:

Three weeks after arriving in stores on December 1, the GREEN LANTERN: REBIRTH #1 Third Printing has sold out at DC Comics, with a new, fourth printing of the miniseries ' debut issue already on press. GREEN LANTERN: REBIRTH #1 Fourth Printing is scheduled to arrive in stores on January 12.Written by Geoff Johns with art by Ethan Van Sciver, this new Printing will feature a recolored version of Van Sciver ' s cover art from the issue ' s second printing." This is just what I wanted for Christmas: a fourth printing of REBIRTH #1, " says Van Sciver. " Is this how Jimmy Stewart felt at the end of It's a Wonderful Life? He never got to draw Kilowog, so I've got to believe I'm happier. Thanks to each and every retailer, fan, and especially DC Comics for their continued support of our hard work and this miniseries. And extra special thanks from me to Geoff Johns for writing his heart out on this. The best is yet to come! " " Excitement over REBIRTH shows no signs of letting up, " says Bob Wayne, DC ' s VP - Sales & Marketing. " Now is the time for retailers to stock up on subsequent issues in the miniseries, so they have copies on hand to accompany this new printing. " GREEN LANTERN: REBIRTH #1 Fourth Printing is available for order now and is scheduled to arrive in stores on January 12 with a cover price of $2.95 U.S. DC recommends that retailers place orders as soon as possible.
