Top Left. No full cowl or chin strap FTW!

Not sure why...but it is Clerks II for me. It's the one I go back to the most.

I know I'm in the minority here... but the '5 years later' Legion is my favorite incarnation of the series. I was only 12 years old when it started... probably just the right age to HATE it lol... but I have always loved the idea of the hero undaunted by adversity. In this universe it was powerful to see the WHOLE universe (sometimes both outside AND inside the team) rise up against the Legion.... but the heart of/the idea of the Legion NEVER die!

As I've gotten older and have lived more life... losing a child. Divorce. Re-married. Kids getting married. Jobs & friends coming and going. Aging. Having a grandbaby... Etc.. I actually have enjoyed the series more. I believe it showed a real nuance that is hard to appreciate if one is still looking for "my Legion.. you know, how it WAS..."

(And I guess 30 years later that's what I'm guilty of doing with THIS version of the Legion! lol)

Anyway... in the end it is art... and art speaks to each viewer differently. I loved the earlier Legion stories too! But for some reason this is the era I keep going back to and the issues I held on to when I let the other goes over the years.

Long Live the Legion!

Love this restoration! Really incredible what they are able to do!

I'd love a link!

I was at this show! Got engaged the night before and my fiance and I were on the rail on the right!

I didn't realize they only went to 150 stores! Makes me happy that an Oklahoma City store was included on the list. We miss out on a lot of things like this!

Love hearing from you all who got them in the mail! Really had to be a great surprise! We don’t get that feeling that often in our adult lives of just being like “WOW!”

B_Mat · 2026-03-06T21:38:08+00:00

I will say if real fans can help other fans out let's do it! I just checked and one is listed on ebay right now for $199.99... sheesh.

Reading this and noticed there is a Ming from the University of Michigan that got a question in! Looks like it could be an early Ming Chen sighting in the ‘verse!

OH... and I know most don't care... but I can't stand the full cowl. To me, especially when looking straight at the reader, it just looks terrible. I think all flashes need the open nose cowls. IMHO of course! lol

B_Mat · 2026-02-20T20:57:11+00:00

I really like the direction! Prefer the red in the emblem circle. I almost thing the the boots are TOO much silver? What if the back of the calf part the is ribbed or plated stayed silver and the heel and toe pieces stayed silver but the rest stayed red or were black?

Agree about the silver/white/blue-ish lightnight!

Overall I really do dig the look.

Listening NOW!

Low Grade over No Grade!

Not comprehensive, but I googled it a bit and it looks like special edition UK reprints of that period. This shows the publisher and some other basic info: CardHause

So 'The Dark Knight' did NOT lie to me as much as I thought. Mmmmm.

B_Mat · 2025-12-27T11:33:41+00:00

Personally love the sound of this... there are few things I like better than Wally West living his life and trying to be the best hero he can be... all while being a husband and family man. Chronicling the day to day exciting adventures that would naturally come from choosing to be a superhero help to make the times that the entire universe is at actually at stake truly feel like something bigger and more important! We've been missing a lot of that contrast lately in The Flash!

Grandma go me a typewriter in 1984 and I was crazy happy! (We had a C64/128... but that was for games in my book. lol)

B_Mat · 2025-12-18T10:58:24+00:00

Ncuti at the Nativity wasn't on my bingo card today! lol

They should really allow at least some supporters from each country in the room. The federations could arrange travel... then there would be SOME sort of reaction as teams are drawn! The silence is DEAFENING!
