Oh goody. A spotlight on Comet Queen.

I have a question about Comet Queen. I don't know much about her, but I loved the old description of her powers - "Emits Comet Gases". It looks like her scalp is open to expose that Comet Gas emitting portion of her skull. When she's not emitting gases, do those skin flaps close up to give her skull a normal appearance. I would think that if they didn't, she'd be awfully dangerous to be around.

oh boy....Five books are being cancelled!! Young All-Stars, Outsiders, Freedom Fighters, REBELS, and Doom Patrol!!! gosh is this an implosion or what?

Interesting question.
And I have no idea.

But, I have read or seen on specials, that one of the major components that comets leave in their trails is water crystals/vapor.
If that's true, people would certainly get mighty uncomfort around her, awake or asleep, deadly or not!

Last issue of .REBELS.

I honestly loved that series, faults and all.
sigh

Nice to see Wolf on the cover.
Is that Sun Emperor or Sun Killer (Lazon is in a different group, sigh)?
I can't see how big he is.
Does SE get thinner as his sun energies are used?

Well there goes two more off my list. I'm now down to Adventure, Legion, Flash and Green Lantern. If they cancel the Legion books, I'm done with comics.

Well I'm crushed to hear this about DOOM PATROL and to a lesser extent FREEDOM FIGHTERS.

COMET QUEEN!!

Also, Starfire looks to be more umm..modestly built than Comet Queen there...that ain't right. :\

Posted by Candlelight on :
 
Yes, , but it's okay bacause Starfire is so incredibly beautiful, even without the over endowment.
Lopresti does good.

Tribulus has, what looks like, ONE (two grown together?) brain, now.
I wish Wildstar and Lyrl had been included in that cover image, as well.


I don't know about the inside art, but CQ looks amazing on the cover!

The sad thing is, Kory probably about that big when she was first introduced (but more curvaceous), now that EVERY comic book female has a huge rack, she doesn't really stand out. I miss her huge hair too!

I agree about that being an awesome rendition of CQ too, but I always remembered her as being kind of flat-chested and not at all conventionally attractive....it's a shame most comic artists don't actually draw different body types anymore...

That looks to be Sun Emperor battling T-Wolf on the cover, which surprises me that SE is around with the introduction of Sun Killer. Both LSH and Adventure covers look great, and I personally am interested in getting the Comet Queen single issue.

The five titles listed by Superboymmdjr that are soon to be canceled is rumored to be making room for some of the Flashpoint mini-series' upcoming, as well as due to poor sales.

I think the art and writing make REBELS one of the best DC titles out there, and I will be sad to see it go. Although I think Starro returning so soon was a mistake, I now think Mr. Bedard wanted to tell that story while he had the chance. The secondary characters such as Wildstar, Ciji, Xylon, Bounder, Tribulus, and the Khund will have to wait to have their stories told another time.

Glad to see Sun Emperor on the cover and hoping that means other former members of the LSV will show up to join or create a wrinkle for Saturn Queen's new group. Some Sun Killer and Sun Emperor interaction would be great.

I'd be surprised if Comet Queen's expanded origin covers a full issue, and imagine that we'll at least get brief scenes of her Academy teammates or instructors hopefully with their own ongoing plots.

While I've enjoyed REBELS since its inception, I always imagined it'd be a short run. It lasted longer than I expected and I'm grateful for it. Was hoping that including Adam Strange, Starfire, and Lobo and giving them such panel-time would be a necessary evil to keep the book going - looks like it worked a little, but not much. A shame about all the 'minor' new REBELS that Kid Quislet previously mentioned. They all had great potential but ultimately added little to the book. I'm unsure if any of them outside of maybe Tribulus (for the visual) will turn up again, even if L.E.G.I.O.N. cameos in other DC events.

Comet Queen's been flat-chested since her 1st app.
Even Phil was drawing her that way.
So, what happens?
She gets one cover all too herself and *BOOM!*

'BOOM!' is the perfect word, alright.

Love the cover spotlight for T-Wolf. Brin is becoming one of my favorites in this Legion.

Posted by jimgallagher on :
 
It is a nice shot of T-Wolf, but I wish they'd lay off the claw bit and let him use his fists.

Posted by cleome on :
 
Comet Queen still looks pretty modestly endowed to me, compared to most other women in the superhero biz.



Of course, I prefer the more modestly endowed version of Kory, too. What can I say?

Posted by lil'rhino on :
 
Yildiray has posted on his Facebook page that the Timber Wolf vs Sun Emperor image being used for the LSH #13 solicits is actually the variant cover for LSH #11.
He did not explain why #11 is getting a variant cover though, or if any subsequent issues shall be.

ADVENTURE COMICS #526
Written by PAUL LEVITZ; Art by PHIL JIMENEZ, JEFFREY MOY, ANDY LANNING and PHILIP MOY; Cover by PHIL JIMENEZ

The conclusion to Paul Levitz and Phil Jimenez's "Legion Academy" arc! We hope the cadets survive it! Plus, longtime LEGION artists Jeffrey and Philip Moy draw an all-new short story starring the speedster XS, and what she finds in this version of the 31st century is deadlier than she ever thought!
DC Universe32pg.Color$2.99 US
On Sale May 4, 2011

JEFF MOY?!? YES! LO VE his work!

I hope Philip Moy has improved though. His stuff just always looked inferior next to his brother(?)/cousin(?)/Dad(?)'s to me.

Great to see XS escape from limbo at last too. Wonder where her story is leading?

Posted by Blacula on :
 
But... the Jeff Moy news distracted me from the rest of the solicit. Just read it and... the Academy story is over already?!? That's sad. Was hoping for a much longer run of Jiminez and Levitz here. Maybe it's just the first story arc that's finishing? Hope, hope, hope.
 

---

Posted by Candlelight on :
 
Me, too!
Jiminez and Lanning, J&L, J&L!

I love Moy, as well!
And doing XS!
sigh
I SO didn't want to have to buy into the new Flash summer stories.
