Seeing as the active incarnations of the Legion in the new Multiverse are now themselves, ahem, legion…well, documenting all of them should be a mini-series in itself!

(Note to Bob and DC Editorial: this statement should not under any circumstances be construed as a complaint about the situation, but rather as an expression of personal hope.)

Hi Bob, and congrats. I am a huge fan of DC’s “Who’s Who” and “Crisis on Infinite Earths”. I came across your name the other day when i was reading “Amazing Heroes #66″, where you were quoted within the Marv Wolfman article about “Crisis”. I recognized your name back in those days when I was reading DC but did not know how much involved your work was with both series. Thank you for doing a great job and I look forward to your new 75th anniversary of “Who’s Who”.

Congrats Bob! And if there is ANYTHING that would bring me outta my strep throat funk, it would be to have a hand in Who’s Who again. Bobby, if discussions come up please mention my name. Y’see I’ve got alllllll this barbecue sauce that needs a good home, and, well–you know.

Best, Rick

Great!

I was surprised when I read the news in DC Nation before seeing any peep of it here in your blog; you keep a good secret! Please add my congratulations to the deservedly tall pile, and good luck.

YES!!!!!!

This is the news I was waiting to hear. Congratulations, and I look forward to seeing the results this coming Spring. The only thing that would make it better is if I got to contribute to it in some way.

I hope the series will be taken as a snapshot of a particular time, unlike the original Who’s Who which was a sliding continuity based on what was going on during the Crisis. I’m a sucker for these kind of books.

But about the Legion – wouldn’t they be in a “future heroes” volume, or do they have enough contact with the present (via the Superman titles) that they’re included in the “Modern Heroes” group? And the post-Zero Hour Legion spent considerable time in the 21st century, taking part in Final Night, would that qualify them for inclusion in this one?

Thanks! I run the http://adventure247.blogspot.comLegion Omnicom blog so I’d be happy to help you with any Legion-related questions.

If you need help, please ask… there’s tons of knowledgeable folks out there… the aforementioned John “Mickey Shawm” Wells, Kim “Tenzil Kim” Jenson at Unofficial Guide to the DC Universe (where i post my Golden Age Whos Who entries) and many others with areas of specialties.

Really looking forward to this and i could not have thought of a better person to be doing this.
