No no no. Only fat dudes are happy and jolly. Fat chicks are all pitable pushy psychos who can't stop talking to married men about our collections of latex bondage gear. Didn't you ever watch NYPD Blue?

Crap, you're right! I'll try to be more sensitive to gender differences when applying stereotypes in the future!

I like this Sun Killer fellow! He seems a little Warren Ellis-esque with his whole "I stole the heart of a dying sun" schtick. Plus, I kind of like the idea of Saturn Queen having a bunch of enslaved bad guys waiting in the wings, it's kind of creepy.

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

Well I finally read the whole issue and I have to say it was ok. Just ok for me, and that's very frustrating. The preview was the best part for me. I guess I felt a bit let down that the story was cut way too short just to give some room to this Legends online review. Oh well, next month is the start of a new chapter for the Legion (Academy, Jimenez).
I don't know who this blue baby creature might be, it's probably someone completely new anyway.
The fight scene with Sun Killer and Green-el was ho-hum in my opinion and Mon seemed "tapped out" a bit too soon though in my opinion. Boy does he really need lots of practice in the GL willpower game!
I don't really care if Tellus has working legs now or not ... I honestly never gave that any serious thought.
I wish they would've used those 5 preview pages at the end to give us more insight as to how/why/when Saturn Queen will escape and go on to form this new Legion of Super-Villians. I bet now we'll just get a throw away line in the special explaining how she, I don't know, blew up the ship and everyone on it then escaped.

Oh yeah! I'd forgotten about him. I bet you're right!
I thought it was interesting that Mon-El's power ring was vulnerable to Sunkiller's yellow solar rays, but Mon-El was vulnerable to the red solar rays. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.
I'd also think he'd have a HELLUVA strong will power after spending 1,000 years in the phantom zone without going crackers.
Why can't Tellus just read the Durlans' minds to see what happened to Zendak? Who needs Dawnstereotype?

Interesting issue. I liked seeing Mon-El learn to use his GL ring and make some mistakes.
I was surprised that we didn't see anyone contact Mon yet about the election results. I assumed it would happen in this issue, but I guess not.
I didn't expect to get clues about the LSV event so soon, so it was nice to see things were starting already. And I loved how the various subplots are becoming connected, with Titanfall in issue #1 resulting in the "Blue Baby" and how it's the threat the new GLs were created for and how it connects to Saturn Queen and the LSV. I'm very excited to see where this book is headed.

Same here. I'm sad that the Atom story is going to finish up in a one-shot and then stop.

The Little Big Heads. That's very good! lol
About Tellus, given that he has legs as well as a tail, wouldn't his many years out of water have given his legs strength?
I DO prefer him floating, though, as a pure sea creature. (I've said this before, but DC showed that Tellus' people were originally metahumans pushed genetically to the enth degree by the Dominators. If DC sticks with that, showing Tellus with more functioning hands and legs might be the way of things. Unfortunately, DC owns him, not Lightle.)

That's how I read it at first too, but I think the panel dialogue is actually supposed to be Saturn Queen talking to the Blue Baby. She's promising to make slaves for it if it releases her.

Yes, those are Saturn Queen's words - see the little Saturn emblem in the first box.

What does the quote mean? I old and can't seem to put 2 + 2 together, anymore.

Sigh
Just an FYI that I feel should be pointed out - The Online preview didn't cut into any story pages. It was included extra in most if not all of the DCU titles shipping this week. The LSH story ran 20 pages. Compare to Superboy out this week, which ran 21 pages (the one page difference was the Batman: Return of Bruce Wayne house ad in Adventure).
