L.E.'s Legion of Super-Heroes: Millenium & Vol.8 (2019)

Set Description
Contains my "Road to Legion" titles, the Legion of Super-Heroes: Millenium mini-series and the current ongoing Legion of Super-Heroes, Vol. 8 by Bendis, Sook, et al. I am willing to give this one a lot of leeway because it's the Legion, fullstop. But also I think one of the things I value about the Legion is that it is always a little... revolutionary and transformative for its time- tackling diversity, racism, transgender issues, same sex couples... all while maintaining a hope and optimism for the future that other stories lack.... so even if Bendis' dialogue and pacing is arguably sometimes a hot mess (though I do see a true effort to create century specific slang and diction), I am still thrilled to see a new iteration of the Legion I love. We'll see.

Set Goals
Hopefully every issue represented in every variant and in 9.8 quality.

Superman #14 (Recalled Variant) Superman 14 Modern 9.8 This is the recalled version of this issue... in 2019, D.C. allegedly recalled both this issue and Supergirl #33 due to incorrect storyline labels on the front covers (e.g. Year of the Villain), however, in this issue in particular the artwork introducing Lightning Lad was modified and some theorized it the recall was based on incorrect coloring and his ethnicity being incorrectly portrayed- preview material for this issue showed a different haircut and what may have been a more Latino skin tone (also, I think the hairstyle was too similar to the newly restyled Cosmic Boy). I believe the corrected version also shows Lightning Lad with heterochromia (two different colored eyes) which is a really cool detail given the typical idea of the population of Winath generally having twins in Legion days of yore. I know the idea of Lightning Lad (and Lass) being Afrocentric might be a little controversial in some circles, but I am all for it. The series isn't very far along yet but I think the twins' background subplot is one of the strongest things introduced in the new series. View Comic
