...DC recently screwed up my other favorite of the period, in an odd compiling of the Levitz/Giffen LEGION series in two hardcovers. They had LSH 284-296 in vol 1. But 296-297 is a two-part story! So you get an incomplete story in the first volume. I'm even less impressed with the second volume, and can still enjoy them in their original form.

True it does split a two parter but I still really enjoy having that run of issues in reasonably priced hardcover editions. I'll also snap up the new Legion Archive next month. For me at least, the originals tend to sit in a box some where while the hardcovers get pulled off the bookcase every once in a while.
