For this week’s Legion of Super-Heroes Club weekly reading fun, we’ll be reading the all-important starting run of Jim Shooter, Boy Wunderkind!
At age 13, in mid-1965, he wrote and drew stories featuring the Legion of Superheroes, and sent them in to DC Comics after a hospital stay got him back into reading comic books.

Week 12: Legion Club Weekly Reader: July 10th – July 16th ALL NEW COLLECTORS’ EDITION (1977-1980) #55 Superboy and the Legion of Super-heroes
For this week’s Legion of Super-Heroes Club weekly reading “forbidden” fun, the Time Bubble has only crawled 4 years into the future from last week’s reading. This is indeed a type of comic book that normally is not on the DCU library service, as it is not a normal sized comic, but is the gigantuan “tabloid” size 13.5” by 10” (like the famous “Superman vs. Muhammad Ali”).

Week 14: Legion Club Weekly Reader: July 24th – July 30th The Durlan Extremist Group Caper Legion of Super-heroes (2010-) #7 – 10 (skip the Annual for another time please)
“How does Levitz’ writing here hold up compared to what he wrote for The Great Darkness Saga? What is better, what is not as good? Why do you think that might be?”
Oh, Great Darkness Saga is much, much, MUCH better than this. Like, don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a BAD story, really. It just feels kind of…a waste of potential.
The idea of a shapeshifting species of aliens causing chaos around the galaxy is a really solid hook for a story, especially when said species includes a couple of our he…
