Week of 26 September 2007

(SPOILER ALERT: This post contains spoilers. Don't read it before you've read the comics.)

COUNTDOWN #31 (9/26/07)
"New Frontiers"
ROLL CALL: Karate Kid, Una (Lightning Saga Legion)

Una and Karate Kid meet Buddy Blank; Karate Kid asks him to take them to Brother Eye.

Wow, eight whole panels of Karate Kid and Una (plus a bonus panel with KK's elbow)! DC is certainly stringing this whole Karate Kid story arc out. I guess it sells comics....

----------
SUPERGIRL AND THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #34 (11/07)
"E.R.G.onomics Part 1 of 2"
ROLL CALL: Atom Girl, Brainiac 5, Cosmic Boy, Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl, Shadow Lass, Supergirl, Timber Wolf, Wildfire

Ugly art continues as the team on Lallor fights Drake Burroughs aka E.R.G.-1 aka Wildfire, who is trying to kill the President of Lallor.

BITS OF LEGIONNAIRE BUSINESS:

In classic Legion continuity, E.R.G.-1 (Drake Burroughs) sacrificed himself by releasing all his energy during a tryout mission against a renegade harvesting machine on the agricultural world Manna-5. This time around, His energy was accidentally released during a tryout mission against a faminebot threatening all crops on Earth.

Supergirl appears only in a monitor image in one panel of this comic.

In the last panel, Timber Wolf has transformed to his more wolf-like state.

Week of 19 September 2007

(SPOILER ALERT: This post contains spoilers. Don't read it before you've read the comics.)

COUNTDOWN #32 (9/12/07)
"Girls Gone Wild"

No LSH content in this issue, unless you want to count Supergirl.

BITS OF LEGIONNAIRE BUSINESS:

Back in the day, when all the heroines of the DC Universe gathered together for something like a bachelorette party or Superman's impending death, Saturn Girl (at least) would be invited. But were any of the Legion lasses at Black Canary's event? No! Oh, Oracle was there, you'd think she could have at least said something to Una...but no-o,

And no, there were no Legionnaires at the wedding, either. Guess Karate Kid and Una know where they stand, eh?

LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES IN THE 31st CENTURY #6 (11/07)
"Attack of the Green Lantern Corps"
ROLL CALL: Blok, Bouncing Boy, Brainiac 5, Colossal Boy, Cosmic Boy, Dream Girl, Element Lad, Lightning Lad, Phantom Girl, Saturn Girl, Shrinking Violet, Star Boy, Sun Boy, Superman, Timber Wolf, Triplicate Girl, Tyroc

BITS OF LEGIONNAIRE BUSINESS:

In some previous LSH continuities, the Green Lantern Corps has had minimal interaction with the Legion, and Green Lanterns were forbidden from operating on Earth. Here, there is easy camaraderie between the GLC and the LSH, and evidence that the Legion has worked with at least some Green Lanterns before.

In particular, Cosmic Boy implies that Jordana Gardner has been offered Legion membership, and that the offer still stands.

"Teen Lantern" -- BWAH-ha-ha!

Yup, that's Tyroc. Nice to see him again.

"Searching for Answers"
ROLL CALL: Karate Kid, Una (both Lightning Saga Legion)

Karate Kid is carrying a variant of the OMAC virus. Mr. Orr's mysterious master is revealed to be DeSaad, who is seen playing with his d/o/l/l/s/ action figures...including a really cool Karate Kid figure.

----------

SUPERGIRL #21 (11/07)
"Reunion Part 1"
ROLL CALL: Karate Kid, Una (both Lightning Saga Legion), Supergirl

BITS OF LEGIONNAIRE BUSINESS:

Supergirl starts off with no memory of Karate Kid or Triplicate Girl, but regains her memory of the Teenage Revolution Legion. The confusion is too much for her and she passes out. I know how she feels....
