Yep, first issue ships next week. Can't wait. The art looks great. Hopefully the story will be as well.
Star Trek/Legion of Super-Heroes coming!
- Thread starter shanejayell
- Start date
My comic shop just rang to clarify what variant covers I wanted for issue #1 (arriving Down Under on Thursday) and Diamond is saying that the first run has already sold out, and a reprint will be rushed into production.
The Australian dollar reached parity with the USD earlier this year, so our comic prices fell considerably. There's a bit added for air freight, of course.
The "Star Trek/Legion of Super-Heroes" comic issues are $5.95 each.

It's a long flight.
StarTrek.com has a six-page preview up. I wasn't sure what to make of this, as I've never heard of Legion of Super-Heroes before, but the preview looks great; I'm quite excited now.
Curiously enough, I mentioned the second printing several posts earlier. I think there's an echo...
For me, this is my most-anticipated Star Trek story of the year.
^Or just discuss it here - with spoiler code.
Just wanted to let everyone know that ST/LSH is available digitally through Comixology.
I wasn't too sure if I was going to get it, I honestly think I rolled my eyes when it was announced, but I did pick it up. I was never really into (interrested & huge Batfan but never bought any) comics until Countdown but now I've been sucked in thanks to the New 52 & new Trek comics. My wife thinks I've lost it, but then again she knew that years ago.
For some reason, I thought this crossover featured the 50s/60s Legion of Superheroes, not the 70s/80s version. I suppose I should have paid more attention; I was looking forward to it.
Christopher, since this involves Original Series-era time travel, any chance you might work a reference to it in Forgotten History when you get the copy edits back from Pocket?
Just finished it and thought it was awesome. The plot just works in my opinion. This is going to be awesome...and Allyn's suggestion for Forgetting History would be awesome!! I could see the DTI getting a headache over this one!
Loved the cameo by a Theskian*. (Probably not intentional.)
* Related to Andorians, but with yellow hair ("TNG: Metamorphosis" by Jean Lorrah).

Some thoughts on the first issue...
I love that the captain of the Imperial Planets starship is Tommy Tomorrow. That's just right in so many ways.
(Okay, I'll explain. Tommy Tomorrow is vaguely Kirk-ish in the original comics. He's a total douchebag in Howard Chaykin's Twilight. His appearance here hits the best of both -- he's a douchebag Kirk.)
Also, I love the Imperial Planets starship designs. The crossed Legion Cruiser/Klingon D-7 is pretty awesome.
This is slightly post-"Great Darkness Saga" for the Legion. Recent enough that Imra and Garth would name-check Darkseid.
I was a little disappointed that the two "teams" haven't met yet, but I have to admit that you really can't beat the final page.
I have to wonder what the DTI report on this would be, when all is said and done.
In short. It was fun. It was what I wanted. Now I want to see more.
