The Legion of Super-Heroes, with its reboots, threeboots and sprawling cast, can be a little confusing — even for longtime fans. So, how can a new reader expect to untangle all the characters and references in Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds? Don’t worry, Timothy Callahan has you covered.
Callahan, editor of Teenagers from the Future, is annotating the miniseries, pointing out who’s who and what’s what in the Legion universe. Or universes, I suppose. (He’s done the same with the “R.I.P.” storyline in the Batman books.)
Update: It’s Annotations of Three Worlds! Douglas Wolk and Michael Grabois also sort through the continuity pile-up.

Michael at the Legion Omnicom (adventure247.blogspot.com) is also doing annotations. I say we lock them both in a room and let them fight it out.

You know, I read the issue and it wasn’t confusing at all – everything was pretty straight forward. But reading these annotations kind of makes my head hurt! Fun to dive into, though, as I’m becoming a fairly obsessed Legion fan myself.
