LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES: a landing-pad of a post

[taichara]

This is going about things a bit backwards, maybe, but the moment anyone comments on how complicated it can be getting started with comics, I look at my longest running comics fandom and just sigh. ;3

Because oh, yes, the Legion of Super-Heroes can be a right mess for someone just getting interested -- or even just curious about a character or characters -- not just because of how long it's existed, but because of the sheer number of sometimes radically different versions (soft reboots, hard reboots, burned-to-the-ground-and-restarted incarnations, actual Elseworlds, bits and bobs DC has never really explained ...) out there. It gets hard to guess what goes where and what's going on when you don't already have a foot in the door.

So I thought I'd offer to be that foot :D

I've been reading L* for a loooong time, and I have decent-to-excellent familiarity with just about all takes. Even the "threeboot" (the 2003 Waid/Kitson rebooted continuity that we didn't know where it fit into the DCU until it was basically over -- see what I mean about a mess?), though not my cuppa, I have access to and can recognize.

Have questions about the Legion, or a specific incarnation of it? Looking for a certain flavour of superhero team and would like to know if there's a Legion to fit? Just happened to come across a scan, or a panel, or a cameo in another book (or elsewhere!) and want to know more, or just who this character is, or where you can find more of them? Hit me up and I'll do my best to point you in the right direction --
