Apparently The Legion are coming back with a new series from Bendis. Well, it's about damn time. What were DC waiting for, the actual 31st century?
To celebrate, here's the whole of the Legion's 2nd treasury / limited edition, an original story that I don't think has ever been reprinted.
It should've been a masterpiece, this one, and it isn't, sad to say. Paul Levitz' story is all over the place, Mike Grell's anatomy is as shaky as it often was, and if Vince Colletta spent more than a weekend inking the thing, I'll be astonished.
BUT, it is the wedding of Lightning Lad & Saturn Girl, with all the complications that always ensue at superhero weddings, plus it's the only long-form Legion story attempted at the time, so I've always had an affection for this one.
There's also a nice guide to the gang by Jim Sherman, who I kind of wish had drawn the main story too.
Mind you, he was so slow, he'd probably still be working on it now...
