While war looms and a traitor plots against the Legion from within, a massive, hostile planet appears near Jupiter, and its gravity is ripping apart the solar system! Collects LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #45-50.

So it's implied that Querl still remembers the old Kara. CALLED IT. THERE. IS EVERYONE HAPPY?

Or the current Kara is going to join the LSH in her future but in Brainy's past? It's time travel and she's still pretty young, I don't see why it couldn't happen...I think Kara meeting Brainy from after he's already known her all her life is kind of an interesting road to go down actually..

On another note, those covers are terrible!!

The Superman/Batman and the Superman ones are the best, but they are ALL pretty uninspired IMO...

What a... variety of art styles. It makes me lament for the days of house styles.

So, they are going to deal with the crazy continuity they've created. Can't say I really care.

There is something seriously wrong with Superboy in the Adventure cover. I mean really wrong.

so... when the Legion flashbacks to an old adventure, we'll see Supergirl in her current midriff baring outfit alongside Saturn Girl and the rest in their old silver age numbers? hmm.
that would be hilarious!

So what is the "devastating loss" for the Legion? I still think part of DC's overriding strategy for trying to reintegrate the Legion into its 20th century books is to provide a steady stream of bodies, since DC has already killed most of the Teen Titans.

All Durlans seem to master tentacles/octopi at an early age!
(Fill in the blank in the last panel with any Durlan's name that you like.)


And a baby Durlan, who hasn't mastered the color, mouth or eyes, yet (but the tentacles are pretty good, if short).

by da-portrait

It always confuses me how Durlans and the Time Trapper all seem to use the same tailor(s).

At least Supes and Batman are fighting and not just lying around looking supinely hhhhhhhhot amongst the tentacles, which is exactly what we'd get if it were Supergirl and Batgirl. :rolleyes:

As covers go, I've seen wayyyy worse than this batch.

[snip]

Not me. The more there is to help distinguish one book from another, the better.

Brainiac has the remains of Braal, Winath, Tharr etc so if a bottle goes so does its population and its eventual Legionnaire. Does this tie into Paul Levitz's death of a homeworld? ie it died 1000 years earlier.

If they kill anyone it will probably be Tenzil - who PL seems to hate - or Tellus. Nightcrawler predicted Tellus would end up Sushi when he first appeared in the Jimmy Olsen Special. I hope he's wrong.

Or as a late thought, how about the supposedly incurable schizophrenic?

Starfire joins R.E.B.E.L.S.?

She's on the Justice League cover with Lar, isn't she?
So, probably not .REBELS.

However, one of her people IS being seen in that book as he's one of the Omega Men.


(Edit: I just saw the new cover added by NC for .REBELS!
I love how spectacularly wrong I can be!

And is that ever an eye catcher of a portrait/cover!

And there's Jan, still fighting that fight he never fought.

Don't remind me. One day, I really want to hear Shooter explain how he intended to finish his threeboot run.

That's more than just one of her people on the Omega Men. That's her brother isn't it?

The Dark Circle too!

Correct. That's her brother.

That is so intriguing it hurts. It's been a while since I read a Legion solicit and thought "Sold!" but that just about fits the bill.

Dang! Forgot all about 'em! At least in the cartoon, they were dressed differently than that.

Joshua Middleton's Supergirl covers just get better & better.

I don't know that I ever knew that Korrie HAD a brother!
What's his name, by the way?

His name is Ryand'r.

What's all the stuff in the background behind Brainy and Kara?

Thanks for the name.


It reminds me of a hall with banners.
My best guess.

But it might be someone(s) peeking through a window.
Or not.

It looks like the inside of an alien (maybe Brainiac 1's) ship.

Or maybe Jeannie's bottle.
