All is forgiven.

Edit:

Why's there a pick-up truck in the background? Maybe all's not forgiven. That's a silo, with fins.

Could be in Smallville, and Pa Kent's truck.

Cause he's getting goosed by TV's original Wonder Woman, Cathy Lee Crosby, in a Saturn Girl costume.

I'm sure Gary Frank will become a decent artist some day -- when he learns to draw people who don't look perpetually stoned.

That probably answers a little bit what's the newest retcon by Johns. And kind of hints he might actually write Adventure Comics, in my opinion.

The pick-up truck is on the Legion cover because all the covers link together. See the first four issues in color in John's interview about this series here . There's a link to a larger image as well when you get there!

Johns says we'll see the Legion and Mordru. Maybe he'll tell the story we've never seen, of the Legion's first battle with Mordru? That would be most cool!!

This series is a "must" for me!!

Ah, that clears it up. I thought they were trying to play a fast one, make us think it was Superboy in the future while it was really in the present/past.

The "lost" Mordru story, that WOULD be so cool. It's the "with a twist" part that makes nerves get twitchy.

I still don't like the look of Frank's characters but he does do a great job of aging Clark.

And this easily*, DC gets me to buy a Superman's origin miniseries.


*By including the Legion. Note to other creators: learn from this.

1. She does look like Cathy Lee Crosby!
2. Check out the look Lightning Lad's giving them.
3. For those of you old enough to remember the Brady Bunch, that's Kal-El's "Porkchops and Applesauce" face.
4. Gary Frank-I generally like his work, though we don't need to see every tooth and space in between. But, I do like his Reeve and Kidder-like Lois and Clark/Superman. It's a great tribute.
5. Superboy's head looks a little too big. He has the Kurt Schaffenburger body with a Gary Frank head.
6. I still like the classic Cosmic Boy Uni the best. Even if it is pink.
7. All in all, VERRYY nice!
