Synopsis

This essay collection, from fans and scholars alike, is as diverse as Legion history. Essays examine significant runs (by Jim Shooter, Paul Levitz, and Keith Giffen); the Legion's science, future architecture, and fashion; the role of women, homosexuality, and race; the early Legion's classical adaptations, its teenage cruelty, and its relation to the early Justice League; Lightning Lad's death and resurrection; whether the Legion should be allowed to age; the Amethyst saga; the themes of the reboot Legion; and the so-called Threeboot's relationship to adult adolescence and generational theory.

About this title

Review:

"Exhaustive... a must read for anyone who has ever visited the 30th century. Hell, I never knew I was this interesting!" -- Keith Giffen "Thoroughly cogent... Kent Shakespeare would be proud." -- Joe Casey
