The End of the LSB!

It's with a strong sense of bittersweet satisfaction that I announce the semi-retirement of the Legion of Super-Bloggers. 

The Super-Bloggers was started back in July 2014 to celebrate all things Legion. Seven plus years later, we've read and critiqued all eight versions of the group, plus various supporting titles and groups. Check out the links on the right side of this page if you don't believe me! Believe it or not, we have run out of things to say about the Legion of Super-Heroes! 

Don't worry, though, we're not going to close the blog down. We promise we will be back whenever there is a Legion related comic, such as JLA vs LSH #2 in late February. Of course, if (when?) an ongoing Legion series comes back, we'll be back to cover that, too. And if one of our bloggers has an essay or something similar that they want to share, we'll post it. We know that are still some Legion comics we didn't get around to covering, and we may get to them now that we won't have a self-established publishing deadline to meet. (We know that we never got around to reviewing The Wanderers. It's on our list.) 

We simply don't have enough material to cover on a daily or thrice weekly or even weekly basis. Believe it or not, we started with the Silver Age and have gone all the way to the current versions! And while that is somewhat sad, it's also quite an accomplishment. 

So keep your eyes open and we'll be back with a new post before you know it! 

Huge shout-out to Shagg, Siskoid, Kyle, Tim, Dr. Anj, Glenn, David, Condo, Mike, Derek, and Emsley, and to all other bloggers who have helped out in the past seven years. 

LONG LIVE THE LEGION!

  2. I'm sorry to hear this, but I quite understand. It's hard coming up with a fresh way to cover things without retrodding ground that already been covered. Indeed, the Legion itself was accused of that during the various reboots. I'll send you any ideas I have for new content as they occur to me. I've thought of one covering 30th century science stuff but it hasn't gotten any further than a mere concept.

    1. Keep 'em coming, Emsley! I have one about animals in the 30th century that I have been working on for a few years. Eventually it may be done, haha!

  3. You'll be missed but I appreciate the sentinme t (did it myself a couple years ago!) looking forward to more content when we get it from DC! LLL!

  4. Understood. Maybe if Bendis would actually give some backstory to new characters that would provide some content.

    I'm working on a project right now applying the Bechdel test to Legion runs. The results are interesting. It is slowgoing though.

  5. Probably better to (semi-)retire than struggle to find any tenuous connection to justify covering random comics. (I mean, you could have used the L.E.G.I.O.N. connection to go through all the Lobo comics, but... that'd be a stretch, and even as someone who likes Lobo, I don't think I'd want to have to go over every appearance.) Hopefully DC will give us some regular Legion appearances in the near future (and even more hopefully they won't involve Bendis).

    (I was curious if you were ever going to cover The Wanderers, but it's certainly another book I don't think I'd want to have to cover myself. I mean, I haven't actually read it since it came out, but I remember it ranging from bland and unmemorable at best to... well, the dinosaurs. Yikes.)

    1. The Wanderers is the series that we kept talking about doing but nobody ever wanted to grab it by its...er...horns. The major reason I never committed to it is that I am missing an issue, and I can never remember which one it is, so I never manage to find it. Haha! Someday.....!

  6. Thanks for so many great columns!

  7. Well, this was a bit of a surprise but understandable considering how much you have covered since 2014. Like many of the comments above I've learnt a lot about the legion and that's why in part I decided to make sure that I own every Legion title in some form or other (and picking up a nice run of V6 and V7 tomorrow as it happens) Enjoy your semi-retirement and whenever you publish something new, I'll be here.

  8. I was invited to this site by Shag lo those many years ago and jumped at the chance. I definitely love the Legion and definitely wanted to be part of this.

    I have been blogging about comics since 2008 and I know without a doubt that my reviewing the early 5YL books is going to be my high water mark for comic content anywhere.

    I enjoyed reading everything that was on this site particularly the coverage of the 'Archie' Legion as that was the first Legion run I have never read.

    Thanks for being such a great manager Russell! Hope to find something I can put up here at some point in the future!

  9. Thanks for everything. Long live the Legion.

  10. Well, I suppose I'll just stop by once a week instead of daily!

    Thank you all so much for such an enjoyable place to reminisce and learn new things. To experience my favorite DC team through others' eyes. And to enjoy spirited writing and debate about all things Legion. Your work is very much appreciated!

  13. Great site. I have been reading on here regularly since the pandemic started. I plan to come back and mine more resources ass time permits. You all have earned your rest, as well as your place in legion fandom. Thanks

  14. It's been a fun ride. I know there will be more, just not frequently. But yeah, things were getting pretty peripheral to Legion sometimes.

    While I haven't always agreed, it's been fun to see what other have had to say.

    Though if someone wants to tackle a fresh topic, I'd love to see what others think of the Mayfair game interpretations of various Legionnaires.

  15. This is a great Legion resource. Shame there isn't enough new Legion material coming out to help keep this going.

    Is there a checklist of all for the Legion of Super-Heroes appearances somewhere on this site. I looked but couldn't find one.

  25. LEGIT CRYPTO ASSET SCAM RECOVERY SERVICES UK, CANADA, AUSTRALIA
    On March 11, 2024, I eagerly joined the "millionaires" group on WhatsApp, hoping to enhance my trading skills and financial prospects. Soon after, I began receiving guidance from Emma, the teacher's assistant, who walked me through setting up my account on the platform. Encouraged by her support, I made my first investment of $888.46 on April 17, 2024, with subsequent investments totalling $47,928.49 by May 5, 2024. In total, I invested $100,821.42.Initially, my trading endeavours seemed promising, yielding substantial earnings of $1,406,986.00. However, my excitement turned to concern when I attempted to withdraw my profits. The platform imposed a $5 fee on each trade, which I accepted. However, they subsequently demanded a staggering 15% commission fee amounting to $196,047.90 for me to access my funds. This fee was never disclosed upfront or agreed upon, leaving me feeling deceived and trapped. Frustrated by these unexpected demands, I reached out to their customer service for clarification and resolution. They initially insisted on a 1% withdrawal fee, which I paid along with an additional $1250.00 plus $500 for a $125,000 withdrawal. Despite settling these fees on June 5, 2024, I was informed I needed to pay another 1% for "labor fees," which appeared arbitrary and unjustified to me. The situation escalated on May 17, 2024, when the platform abruptly ceased trading activities and shut down the WhatsApp chat room without prior notice. They then demanded the exorbitant $196,047.90 commission fee, emphasizing it as a precondition for any withdrawal, despite no prior agreement or disclosure.
    Feeling helpless and realizing the severity of the situation, I sought assistance from Web Bailiff Contractor. Their reputation as experts in recovering funds from financial scams gave me hope. With their guidance, I embarked on reclaiming my funds, navigating through the complexities with their methodical approach and clear communication. Web Bailiff Contractor demonstrated unwavering dedication and expertise in handling financial disputes. They meticulously analyzed my case, exposed the platform's deceptive practices, and advocated on my behalf. Their efforts were about financial recovery and restoring justice and dignity to victims of fraudulent schemes. Thanks to Web Bailiff Contractor's intervention, I finally saw a breakthrough. They successfully facilitated the withdrawal of my funds, relieving me of the burden imposed by the platform. Their professionalism and persistence throughout the process were exemplary, providing me with much-needed support during a distressing ordeal. Reflecting on my experience, Web Bailiff Contractor proved to be more than just a service provider; they were a lifeline in navigating the aftermath of financial fraud. Their commitment to client satisfaction and ethical practices sets them apart, offering a beacon of hope for individuals like me who find themselves victimized by unscrupulous entities. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Web Bailiff Contractor to anyone facing similar challenges. Their expertise, integrity, and relentless pursuit of justice are invaluable in safeguarding against financial exploitation. Thank you, Web Bailiff Contractor, for restoring what was rightfully mine and for being a trusted ally in my journey towards financial recovery and empowerment.

  27. I had an ugly fall out with my ex best friend a few months ago. The “breakup” was as a result of built up anger that was never dealt with over a period of years and what triggered the fight was finding out she was hanging out with my ex boyfriend who used to beat the hell out of me. I felt so betrayed because she knew how bad things were and she still continued being in contact with him despite her discouraging our relationship. I couldn’t get over things that easily because I felt she sabotaged a lot of things in my life so I decided to hack her phone to find out more. I saw a review on reviews io about Cyberpunk Programmers as the best hackers and so I decided to buy their spy app. The process was really seamless and it only took 4 hours to get the whole thing done. So I found that the two exes bad mouthed me and she even went as far as telling my deepest secrets. I also learnt that she is a hooker who sleeps with married men, something I never had a clue of. I have alot of information that could easily destroy her and I’m still contemplating whether or not I should use them. P.s the hacker’s WhatsApp number is +44 7848 161773

  28. I recently fell victim to Bitcoin trading scams with 3 different companies and one company I was trying to get a loan from. It is about $9000 in total that I have invested with these companies. I reported the issue to the authorities, but they could not do anything about it since scam reports are often ignored. One of the officers who seemed to be really moved by my situation gave me an email (cyberpunk@programmer.net) and told me that someone who had previously fell in a crypto scam managed to get their investments through the help of the contact. I emailed them immediately and provided all the contact numbers, email addresses and websites that they use and also all the emails with the BTC Transaction details. After what seemed like the longest three days of my life, I had the location details of all three scammers and my money in full. I thought I should share for anyone else in need.

  29. Being a scam victim can depressing, you were given empty promises. They usually stop replying after achieving their aim with hurts even more, i have been there too as i was too ambitious and wanted financial security which made me invest a huge chunk of my life savings. I never thought i would be getting back a dime back and already lost hope until i contacted a team which was just a leap of faith as i wasn't going to go down without a fight.
