Post-Zero Hour Legion of Super-Heroes Reading List.

I am ever so delighted that since I finished the MAIN series I have had 4 people in my DMs wanting to know an official reading order. This is amazing. So for those who might be a little more message shy here is a list for you to take, keep, and read.

You might see this order and think it's weird, trust me it, it is. The reason why it is weird is because 1.) the Zero Hour event in 1994 rebooted the team in the middle of two books, so the creators drafted up a new start with a #0 issue and 2.) LOSH had two books per month.

Anyway, here is your primary PZH LOSH guide.

Legions of Super-Heroes (1989) has been shortened to "LOSH 1989" for simplicity.

Primary Run

LOSH 1989 #0

Legionnaires #0

LOSH 1989 #62

Legionnaires #19 then you switch back and forth and the comics will guide you where to go at the end of each issue. You do this all the way until the series ends. Don't forget the annuals!

Legion Lost 2000

Legion Worlds

The Legion

Teen Titans/Legion Special - The "end" of their run

Final Crisis: Legion of the Three Worlds - They are revealed to be alive still! Bart and Kon are brought back from dead.

Other Specials and Fun Things

Titans/Legion of Super-Heroes: Universe Ablaze - Read this sometime in the last 10 issues of the primary run.

Legion: Secret Files

Legion of Super-Heroes Secret Files

Showcase '96 Issues #11 & #12 - LOSH '89 should tell you when to jump to these two, you will read them when Querl and the lost Legionnaires are stranded in 1996.

Genesis 1997 - The Genesis Event, you will read this sometime during the time the Legionnaires are stranded in the 90s.

Inferno 1997 - A mini for Inferno, you should read this after Inferno breaks from the stranded Legionnaires in the 90s.

Adventures in the DC Universe Issue #10 - Just a fun little story.

There are many other appearances of this team in the 90s comics, particularly when they are stranded in the 1990s. Their book is particularly good however at informing you where to go, and if they appeared somewhere else.

Thank you, and happy reading.

Legionnaires #47 You want to read Jenni's run sooooo badly. Do it for her.

Into the GuyLoboVerse: Day 20

Earth 247: Metal Elysium

GUY GARDNER - A man with a bowl cut in a navy, yellow, and white color blocked letterman jacket is searching the room with his eyes. It seems he is looking for someone -- you. As you approach, he looks you up and down and extends his hand in greeting. PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [Medium: Success] - On the sleeve of his letterman jacket -- as well as on its back -- are the same enigmatic green rectangles as on your blazer. YOU - Shake his hand. GUY GARDNER - "Hello, I'm Guy Gardner." His grip is firm. "Lieutenant Precinct 2814. You must be from the 3500th..." You realize he is waiting for your name. 1. - "I don't really know my name." 2. - [Conceptualization - Medium 11] Invent a name for yourself. 3. - Say nothing.

Author's Notes:

Ok so this is a bit of a fake fan moment for me (I still haven't played Disco Elysium all the way through. I've played it very little unfortunately). HOWEVER, I know in my heart that it would be fun to do the dynamic of a man giving a broken man the room to pull himself together with Guy and Lobo. It's spiritually connected to the Nice Guys AU (Earth 156) in that Harry du Bois and Holland March are similar (substance issues, 70s, divorced and broken about it) though Harry is much further gone than March. So it is Lobo's turn to play the broken detective.

The text above is a slightly edited version of the scene where Harry meets Kim. I wish I could do more to write in the style of the game but as I said I have not played enough of the game to have the voice there captured. One day though...

Since Kim's iconic jacket is supposed to be modeled after the air brigades in the revolution, I modeled Guy's off of General Glory. With Lobo I switched out Harry's disco look with the most professional wardrobe I could find for Judas Priest (Heavy Metal band with a gay lead singer) in the 70s and 80s.

I know that part of Harry's substance abuse stems from trying to control his chronic pain which is something that slots in nicely with my own headcanon that Lobo's consistent and excessive drinking is to dull his own overactive senses so that he can focus at all. (An insert in Lobo: The Last Czarnian describes his tracking abilities as being able to sense and follow individual auras which would make any populated area extremely overwhelming).

I haven't done much with this one yet because I'm waiting until I have time to play the game more. But it rolls around in my head.

She's also GORGEOUS to her teammates.

Legionnaires #43

No one is freaked out by her appearance or distressed, and the first thing Thom mentions is that she is in fact gorgeous.

The Post-Zero Hour Reboot LOSH did a lot of things right in the 90s.

…Okay, I found out about this character from the Legion of Superheroes called Jeka Wynzorr, this sapient snake with illusion-making powers that got mutated into some other form via convoluted energy shenanigans and also Ras Al Ghul.

The important part is, while her post-mutation form is your standard Sexy Snake Lady

Her original design was this .

And like, as much as I like me a good monstergirl, whatever jackass made the decision to change this absolute perfection for the sake of horny should probably be fired. Out of a cannon.

[ID: Shooting Star from DC Comics, leaping in the air and smiling. His cape is a big star flash with a trail. Behind him is a city scape with blue purple and pink sunset lighting. The second image is the same but has airbrushed shading. End ID]

when criminals see this shooting star, they'll wish upon it, all right!... they'll wish they'd never been born!

based on 60s batman movie poster i found here :D

Pretty sure Bart knew all the swear words available by the time he left his birth time.

BUT what's even more funny is Bart and Querl for quite a bit of time actually shared a mental link with each other when Querl was stranded in the past. It was open communication between them that was regrettably didn’t see much of.

You know damn well words were exchanged. Even if Querl often will often spurn swearing he is the Legion's resident potty mouth.

I'm imagining Bart picking up a swear word he absolutely never knew and he drops it around Jenni and she just has to stop and interrogate how he learned THAT one.

It doesn't take long to figure out who was at fault.

If Bart hung out with Jenni and the Legion in the future more often he would pick up more 31st century swears cause of Braniac's potty mouth. This is how my Bart and Jenni close cousins agenda can win-

Happy Birthday Andrew Woolfolk from Earth, Wind & Fire! 👑🕊️

Reep's 'crush' on Kon was pretty cute ngl.

Kon saved him in the time-stream and Reep was ever afterwards pro-Superboy.

"Ai laikk him" = I like him ❤️

"Yoo no thass pairson" = You know this person?

He Immediately checks on Kon to make sure he is okay after a minor scuffle.

When Kon is in mortal danger Reep goes into an absolute rage and is able to break out of the crystal barrier he was trapped in. It also is the only reason why the team survived this because they all got their asses kicked.

The look on this poor boy's face when they are saying goodbye to him.

Regrettably, Kon is busy flirting with Querl so he doesn't notice.

Reep is the only one who is really upset he's gone and starts crying over it.

It was these little details that made this series so well done even in the 90s.

name - @rosekillermicrofic - both NSFW and implied MCD because I'm fun like that - word count: 247

Evan was hardly ever ‘Evan.’ Not when it came to Barty. Sure, most other people called him by his first or last name, or else they called him ‘Ev.’ But Barty refused. He claimed he was too special for that.

He was absolutely right.

Evan had been ‘Rosie’ since about fifteen minutes after meeting Barty, and that’s all there was to it. Of course, Evan had been obsessed with him since about five minutes after that.

Sometimes Barty switched it up a little. Drew out the ‘ie’ or sweetened it to something like ‘my Rose’ when he was feeling extra devious. But to Barty, he was not just Evan. He was different. More. And to Evan, that was the best thing on Earth to be.

They thought there was only one exception. Those heated moments, pressed up against walls or between sheets, when Barty was beneath Evan and completely vulnerable? Only then did his given name fall from Barty’s lips like a prayer. It was the most delicious of sounds, to hear Barty mumble, “Fuck, Evan,” as his head tilted back and his eyes fluttered shut. 

Later, though, they found out that there was one other time that Barty didn’t resort to nicknames when calling for him.

“EVAN!” Barty screamed, voice breaking and crackling as a flash of green light hit the taller man square in the chest, causing him to crumple to the floor, blue-green eyes horrifyingly blank.

Barty never referred to him as ‘Rosie’ again after that.

The way my heart sank when I reloaded and he went from 230 to 247. This is hell on earth. What the fuck is happening.
