The Legion has fallen on hard times recently, but they're making a return appearance soon. And the fandom is also making its presence known, as per the announcement of the Legion of Super-Bloggers above. And there are already a fair amount of posts on their blog. Go over there and say hi -- and let 'em know your thoughts on the Legion.
I first happened into Legion fandom through my classmates at school. We all collected comics, but some of them really latched on to the Legion and other titles. I, because of my Superman / Superboy fandom back in Grade School, was passingly familiar with the title and even knew a fair amount of trivia due to a Superman Quiz Book (whose answers I'd memorized at a young age). And in that pre-Internet era, I felt I'd invested enough time to jump into collecting it.
It's always a thrill to meet another fan, and to share your fandom. Even if they don't like the Legionnaires you do. Even if they're not as into your favorite era of the Legion. Even if they don't delve into the trivia as much as you do. Even if they do, to a stunningly obsessive degree.
And sometimes, sometimes you don't even now they're fans -- until you post something and they casually reveal themselves in droves. As though it had always been a part of them you'd never seen, or never asked about. And maybe that's true.
There's something about the Legion. Let's explore what that something is for each of us, and share it.
