Continuity Tracking: The Genesis Event

July 26, 2000 / Updated: September 14, 2000

During the late 1997 Genesis event, the continuity between the various Legion appearances (in their own book, in Genesis and its crossovers, and elsewhere) is unclear due to editing errors and the weekly publishing schedule of Genesis.  Here is my best guess as to the proper ordering: Legion of Super-Heroes v4 #96   Jo and Tinya get married Supergirl Annual v3 #2   No mention of Spark’s power change, so occurs pre-Genesis Genesis #1   See analysis notes on Jo’s power upgrade Genesis #2   The end of the issue Genesis #3   Preparing to enter The Source Genesis #4   Flashback to being inside the Source Wonder Woman v2 #126   Flashback to being inside the Source Genesis #3   Getting spit out of The Source Power of Shazam! #32   Assorted flashbacks Genesis #4   The beginning of the issue Legion of Super-Heroes v4 #97   The fight against Mantis Genesis #2   Flashforward to the fight against Mantis Genesis #4   The end of the issue Superboy and the Ravers #14   More detail than was in Genesis #4 Lobo #50   Shared dream by various DC heroes Superboy v3 #45   Dealing with Superboy’s flight ring Unlimited Access #1   Side trip to the X-Men’s “Days of Future Past” Legion of Super-Heroes v4 #98   Enter C.O.M P.U.T.O.
