    So, I'm on my mid-term break and am at incredible levels of bored. For me, right now this is a dead time for entertainment. There are no shows to watch and no games I care about a releasing soon. I'm still up to date on my current pulls and am not interested in jumping into a New 52 series, so I figured I'd get into the Legion of Super-Heroes, a team I've always had a mild interest in... so I then read Legion Lost, a New 52 series, because I'm an idiot. I was completely lost and quit reading halfway through the first issue. From what I've heard, the New 52 Legion of Super-Heroes book is pretty much the same way. Apparently, the continuity of this team is pretty screwed up, so I'd like to know what are good jumping-on points for the team.

    @paul2814: I know it's been cancelled. But the New 52 books were not friendly to newcomers, so I'm guessing I have to start from somewhere before that. Unless the writing was that incompetent and that was meant to be a jumping-on point. The continuity of the team is pretty messed up from what I've heard, but there has to be a point where new readers can get on board. Like at the beginning of a story arc or just a good issue that explains the premise and characters (maybe even introducing new ones) like Nightwing #19, which seems to be a good jumping-on point (I myself have been following the character for a while, but it does seem like it would be a good place to start).
