At this point, I am wondering if there is more to Shady & Earth Man than meets the eye (There is definitely more to Harmonioa Li than meets the eye!). Sureley it's not quite what it appears on the last page. I am still wondering if Earth Man's apparent change of hearth is genuine. And what is up with Tinya? Hasn't she ever heard of knocking?!
By the way, the SP buildings look like tennis racket handles. I do not like Timber Wolf and Ultra Boy's costumes. Too much going on with them.
I'm with Sun Boy on the Titanians. I would find a mind reader far more terrifying than a shape shifter. Those Durlans are awfully shifty, though (pun intended).
I love Brainy's comment that there's a "97.5% chance that by the time I could get there, the combat would be resolved...one way or the other."
I still say Dyogene is going to turn into a Guardian.

Hey!!!!!! Now THAT sounds viable! I like that guess because it totally makes sense ... Yera would be the perfect "mole" within the Legion to extract revenge against their newest xenophobe member. That would truly be a great twist.
Uh oh, I just thought of Gim though if that WERE to happen .... Can you imagine what he'd go through if the woman he learned to love, after he thought he was falling in love with the girl he was infatuated with for so many years, suddenly broke the Legion code for killing by offing E-Man? Holy s@#! the guy would probably implode!

But Yera hasn't appeared in this series, has she? Wouldn't new readers wonder why this character popped up out of nowhere?

Yes they would. What a great way to introduce this character to the readers, who could double back now and pick up back issues of the Levitz Legion and find out more about the story of Yera.
The more I think about it the more it makes sense that Yera is impersonating Shady. She's done it before with Vi, right? Yera strikes me as the easily influenced type. She might help her fellow Durlans with their cause if they appealed to her sense of nationality or something. It's certainly a viable possibility and would explain Shady's out-of-character behaviour lately.
If that's true where is the real Shady I wonder??

Nah. Doesn't work for me. Canonically, Yera was raised in U.P. territory. I can't see her suddenly as a born-again nationalist. Not without some kind of explanation or build-up.
Also, it would be a retread of old ground, which I could frankly do without. Hearkening back that way doesn't make a current, weak story better. It just cheapens the memory of the original, stronger story.
This kind of "twist" would irk the hell out of me, frankly.

Given that DC is well know for doing exactly that, it just makes it more likely. I say be prepared to be irked and if it doesn't happen then whatever half-baked explaination they do come up with will seem so much better in comparison.

Of course if it is Yera she could just be really miffed with Earth Man after his shoddy treatment of her during the Action story.
She could be impersonating Shady as she would be the most plausible of all the unattached Legionnaires who would do that sort of thing.

The Yera thing sounds feasible, though I will wonder how Earth Man could stoop to sleeping with a stinkin' alien. ;-)

Night Girl seems a more likely candidate to jump in the sack with him than Shady to me. She could be trying to get back at Cos for dumping her. Shady has no excuse that I can see.

Yes, it MUST be Yera! That awful hair she was sporting during the original Earth-Man/JLE story and L3W was the obvious clue, people! :nod;

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

Maybe it's not even Yera. Maybe that 'hair' is some parasitic alien that afflicts Durlans and makes them behave all weird!

Oo. I missed that. When did that happen?
