Excuse me but can you please direct me to the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles?

Interesting ... Sun Killer seems to be a formidable villian. Can this be Sun Emporer?? If so he really needs to go on a new diet stat! LOL
It's nice to see Tellus is so preoccupied with Dawnstar's well being. I like that he is so attached to his teammates this way. It gives his character more depth I think. Oh, and it's always great to see Gigi too.
I loved the SP aboard their ship on their way to Takron-Galtos ... it had an almost Star Trek feel to it. Makes me think maybe they should get their own comic but with adventures in space as opposed to on Earth, etc.
The artwork was excellent in my opinion.
Can't wait to read the rest of the story .......

*Sigh* Tellus is once again being depicted as standing on his legs. He never used his legs for anything that I know of before this new incarnation. He always used his flight ring or his powers to fly or hover. Is this an artistic mistake or yet another difference of the new version of the Legion versus the old?

So if... Click Here For A SpoilerDawnstar's out of commission for the forseeable future, are there going to be recruits called up from the Academy again at last?
Also, Sun Killer is the same guy who used to be called Sun Emperor, right?

I hate it too. Since the Johns-boot, Tellus's limbs have been consistently portrayed more like human ones than like the way they were in the pre-Zero Hour Legion. I don't think it's an intentional retcon, I think it's just recent artists not really understanding how alien he was meant to be.

Steve Lightle has said something to the effect that almost no one else has been able to draw Tellus completely right. This is just another example of that.

Are we supposed to assume that he's simply become more used to human-like mannerisms after living on land for so long?

Yeah, it's a bummer. Nobody currently working on the Legion really gets Lightle's vision of Tellus.
Not a bad issue, overall. I really like the streamlined approach to covers that DC is taking this month. The stark white background is hot. Too bad the lovely ladies featured on the cover didn't get any play in the story.
Have the Science Police always used transuits?
Lots of good action for Mon-El. I hope his GL phase passes quickly, though. I appreciate the $2.99 price but missed the Atom feature.

Guys, when I saw that splash page of Mon in his Green Lantern costume, I tried to stance myself the same way and almost broke my leg trying to bend it the same way as Mon.

The super-fatass ray strikes again! Who will be its next victim?
Hopefully some sticklike Super-model lass.
Maybe Tenzil tried to eat a sun and got fat again.

Can't read the guy's AKA in the preview.
My guess is that it's someone other than ol' Nigal Douglous. I'd rather see Beauty Blaze, myself.
Besides, everyone knows that fat people are happy and jolly. I can't accept this unrealistic portrayal of the overweight as evil.
