The return of Superboy! Superboy-Prime, that is!
The grasp of BLACKEST NIGHT knows no bounds, and it is now at the doorstep of Superboy-Prime. Believe it or not, Prime has met his match. The Black Lanterns know his deepest, darkest secrets and force Prime to feel emotions he's long discarded.
Plus, in the Legion of Super-Heroes co-feature, Dawnstar is on the trail of the person – or people – who have been causing so much trouble for the Legion. But does she get too close to the truth? Her Legion teammate Wildfire comes to her rescue, but are the duo able to discover just who is behind this villainous plot to destroy the known universe?

It's an oversized BLACKEST NIGHT tie-in issue as the Black Lanterns fight the Sinestro Corps with the R.E.B.E.L.S. caught in the middle!
While super-jerk Vril Dox and his team of renegades plot to stop Starro the Conqueror's rampage, they're forced to confront this major battle raging in space! Dox is in trouble, too, because these particular Black Lanterns wanted to kill him when they were alive!

I think they're naively turning the s-shield into a nazi like symbol. It's probably a marketing thing, but what are they thinking?
You can't have ubiquitous symbols of uber-power without some sort of backlash, no matter how many kittens you rescue.

I'm sorry...somebody had to say it.
again...
We need a local board artist to get some dreadlocks on that kid. A metal drum would be good too.

dot REBELS is the best Legion book out there right now. And Mon-El seems like looking at Superman's clothes in a white board after fixing its image at your retinas for 30 seconds. Negative, you know?

Hopefully since Dawny and Wildfire are the focus of the story, they'll get fleshed out a bit beyond their appearances so far.

There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.

Yeah. One of many things I like about the Legion is how many of the characters were over that underwear-on-the-outside look... (And Mon-El at least did a good job of hiding it with the untucked shirt.)

Ugh. I am just not digging that new look for Mon-El. He just doesn't look right in the skin tight duds.

Don't like it either. I always liked the high-collared jacket because it made him look a little more formal, reserved and older - and it was his own look, not a reverse-Supes.
But R.E.B.E.L.S. looks like it's really picking up! I was waiting for the TPB, but maybe I'll go back to the pamphlet.

The longer Mon-El is out the Phantom Zone, the more they are changing the character. Soon he is going to join the JLA. Ugh! Mon-El needs his real outfit back and get back into the Zone before they totally screw up his continuity.
