Singularity's arm in the last panel...could that pass for the color of Tromium?
I've had this feeling ever since Lost #6 that Singularity was the TRUE Progenitor...either that or a descendent of some sort.
He was also doing that back turned thing that Jan did in Lost #10-12.
EDE, I agree with you about the parallels with the White Triangle destroying Trom with the Progeny destroying Lorca Prime. There IS SOMETHING MEGA BIG there!
He also seems to have grown a bit bigger but then when he originally fought the Legion in Lost #7 & 8 I suppose he wasn't standing still enough to determine his actual size.
Super Lad Kid:"Another though just hit me - what if, somehow, Singularity was actually the real Progenitor? The last page shows him talking about deleting the Legionnaires. Now I know that it's probably just an attempt at irony - Credo doing exactly what their sworn enemy was doing.
But what if somehow, DnA pull one last switch on us in order to tie up their biggest story of their run. If Singularity was the real Progenitor all along, it may be a way to redeem Element Lad and bring him back! OK, so my theory doesn't really make sense, but one can hope, right?"
SLK...see my above theory. Everyone...re-read the scene in Lost #6 with Imra's dream. A figure is sitting on the Rosette throne. If you look real closely you can make out bulky shoulder pads and thick boots and glowing crystalline eyes (green I think)...and at the end of said issue, even in his original costume, Singularity has ALL those qualifications. What's more (call it coincidence if you want), Singularity first showed signs of acting like the 5YL Jan Arrah. "Get off my planet!" etc. etc.
What if (big if) Singularity and the Progenitor and "Jarth" are all aspects of the same entity?
Another question...how exactly did Singularity figure out that the Progenitor/Jan is connected to the Legion? Like I said above, there is something mega big going on here! Too bad these 2 issues weren't the bi-weekly ones!

4. Jarth. It doesn't look like DnA are going to resolve this issue, but instead are leaving him on the list of disfigured characters for somebody else to fix (Kinetix, Cub, Sensor, Ferro).
Hey while I can't stand Jarth and Cub...I like the changes in the others. Kinetix was just a red headed cheerleader until the terraformer thing. I like the her current version. It's interesting. I also like Ferro being stuck in iron form. Adds more to the character...if we ever see things slow down enough for them to talk/hang out. And finally I like Sensor with breasts and hair! woohoo! Get rid of the tail and add some legs! I like the purple hair and strange skin markings as well. She doesn't have to just like before but atleast some legs.

I thought the issue blended the DnA's bad and good stuff into something pretty standard... so far. As noted by previous posters, there could be a big pay-off next issue, so I'll wait to pass judgement on that.
The comment I would like to make about this issue is this... I'm thoroughly disappointed by the minglings of the characters. They just seem so short or so quippish.
"Nice to have you back as leader Jaz"... she was gone? They're laying it on a little thick on Kon too. Most people on this forum hate Jarth, but I got to say that the only "real" emotions coming from this issue (other than the Credo) was Jarth. Everyone else just seems kinda shallow at the moment. Shallow, but very, very pretty... and it's been this way since Dream Crime started.

Hated the cover. Loved the interior art (why oh why is Battista leaving?) Liked the story okay, though it held no surprises and still the focus seems to be on Kid Q, Rokk, Imra, Brainy, and Shikari.
Nitpicks:
I agree that Dr. Gym'll was too nice (and too blue). He's awakened in the middle of the night just to listen to Jarth whine about how he's not being accepted and he says "No problem. Really."? or something like that. Totally out of character for the perpetually grumpy Dr. Gym'll
I also figure that Violet is hidden on Jarth's costume, but to what end? someone who shrinks and grows is going to be the secret weapon of someone with the power of the Progenitor?
I like M'Onel's newish costume. It's not exactly like his original one, but it's more basic and utilitarian than that gawdy starry thing he's been wearing, which I never liked.
So, Jarth's hair is now combed straight back, off his forehead. Is crystal hair combable? I wouldn't think so, but oh well.
Is XS ever going to speak or use her power again?
I'm finding it difficult not to read this Superboy as the original since he's wearing the original costume. I wish they'd make him change his clothes. Especially since his wearing that costume has caused mass riots and destruction and a tongue lashing from Cosmic Boy, it makes NO sense that he's still wearing it.
They are just going to ignore all the baggage of the Valor suit?!? Half the frelling Legionnaires don't know M'Onel = Valor. If he goes out in that suit in the UP, there should be riots to make the ones that Superboy's stupid costume caused look like a game of snooker. [And should he have a transuit on? I forget if he needs to breathe]. If he really didn't have any spare costumes, shouldn't he have been given a spare cadet suit or something?
On the rest, eh, not much there really, and this stupid, pointless change on top of the Superboy thing is really spoiling anything else I could get out of it for me. [mechana, it'd be better, IMO, if you reset Dr Gym'll's skin colour rather than let the mistake perpetuate. And while I'm at it, could you at least darken the Valor suit or something. Please ]

Not the way Ronda colours it, unless we get an in-continuity explaination for the two-colour Tromium.

Oh, yeah. Why is Timber Wolf training the cadets? Is he teaching them how to rip the bad guys to shreds like his gang did it on Rimbor? It seems to me that he should be IN training WITH the cadets, considering he only joined the Legion about ten minutes ago.

The other possible Vi scenario is that her wanting to speak to Cos has something to do with bringing Andromeda back. Former rascist Legionnaire = key to teaching the Credo a lesson in tolerance? Unlikely, but just thought I'd throw out the possibility.

After last issue, this one was great. (No, no sarcasm here...) When is DnA's last issue again? DnA have a reputation for lotsa build-up and no payoff. Kinda like taking Viagra while alone with your hands tied behind your back.

I liked the cover. Well, I liked the art and how the logo was brought into it--not that Jarth was depicted on it.
Everyone who is trying to re-ignite my hope that something will happen to bring Element Lad back should immediately stop. It was bad enough when I had hope and issue after issue went by without addressing it.
Someone else slaughtered right in our headquarters. Ho hum. Look, Monel's back!
When did Jazmin get so smooth and speech-ey?
Yet another issue in which I got to the last page and uttered, "That's it?"
For what was there, though, it was a nice set up.

Of course, there is the question of why the crystal guy with his own electrical powers and Jan's transmutative ability is letting himself get dragged off like that.
And if Jarth is really all-crystal, why doesn't he get himself resculpted into his own face? Never mind wearing Jan's costume.

I haven't gotten the issue yet but I know this crystal and costume thing keeps coming up. The only reason, beyond laziness on the scripter's part, I can come up with is that Garth can't resculpt his face or change the costume. Maybe there is something of Jan in the crystal that will not allow Garth to assert that kind of will over the body. Jan can't speak but he can make himself known by making Garth keep his appearance and costume.

Jarth was wearing SA-Garth's costume in L31 (Albeit miscoloured), remember.
And on the face - note the "get himself resculpted." I wasn't thinking of him doing it, more something involving a hammer and chisel... [Hey Gary - can we get an "evil grin" smiley please?]
