Week of 16 January 2008

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

COUNTDOWN #15 (1/16/08)
"Splitting the Atom"
ROLL CALL: Karate Kid, Una (Lightning Saga Legion)

One page of Una and Karate Kid (looking particularly awful).

----------

LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES IN THE 31sr CENTURY #10 (3/08)
"House Arrest"
ROLL CALL: Bouncing Boy, Brainiac 5, Cosmic Boy,Fatal Five, Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl

Garth and Imra are alone in Legion Headquarters when the Fatal Five attack. Working together, they defeat the villains.

BITS OF LEGIONNAIRE BUSINESS: The cover image has been flipped left-to-right. Look at Saturn Girl's insignia and the Legion symbol on her belt.

Romance between Garth and Imra flourishes.

A sign next to the power core reads, "Do not touch - this means you, Bouncingboy - Brainiac 5" When the other Legionnaires return, Brainiac 5 is saying, "...I find out that you were messing with the power core again, Brouncing Boy..." Churck's fascination with the power core remains to be explained.

Week of 9 January 2008

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

COUNTDOWN #16 (1/9/08)

No Legion content in this issue.

----------

SUEPRMAN #672 (3/08)
"Gossamer Wings (Insect Queen Part 2)"

No Legion content in this issue, either. Although the Insect Queen, a clone of Lana Lang, is obviously based on Lana as Insect Queen in the classic Legion.

Sad...it's the Legion's 50th anniversary, and we've gone all year without any Legion content in DC Comics.
