So, that's weird.
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.

I'm old. The first thing I thought of when I saw Sun Killer was "Qu'est que c'est?". Now I can't get it out of my head.


So what.

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.

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).

The hints of backstory involving Sun Killer, that he destroyed a dying star to gain his powers, and has done it again to power up for freeing Saturn Queen, is, in just a few panels, far, far more interesting than anything I've ever read about Sun Emperor's past.

So, bonus points for that.

It's no, 'Alas, poor Thora, I knew her.' but still, an interesting introduction to a new character.

I like that 'Sun Killer' doesn't just mean 'a killer, with sun powers,' but that he actually *kills suns.*

So how soon before we see Sun Killer, Sun Emperor, Dr. Regulus, and Pulsar Stargrave vs. Sun Boy, Inferno, Fire Lad and Quanto?


Next time we have a DC/Marvel crossover, I want it to take place in the Hostessverse

I wonder at what stage he finishes them off?
Giant red, nova, quasar, black hole?

He didn't seem all that bright, to me.
(ha-ha)
So, is it a natural ability or an aquired one or a scientific thingy?

That's a lot of energy.
Does he have to renew his powers on a regular basis or does a sun last him a long time?

Yes, he's kind of interesting.

Add to the interest in Sun Killer (qu'est que nevermind) he hinted that he's Japanese without it being overpoweringly obvious.

You also have Beauty Blaze and Sun Girl from the Titans who is from the future and somehow connected to Sun Boy.

He looks like a sumo wrestler. Maybe he wrestled the sun to death.

It would be kinda neat if he was originally a tiny little twig of a person, until he eated a sun and swelled up a bit...

He's got a fire in his belly!

Not to mention radioactive or whatever . . .

Yes, because being drawn as a sumo-wrestler with a stylized Japanese flag across your chest and tacking 'San' onto the end of a name is soooo subtle as far as clues go.

This was actually my favorite issue since LSH took over the ADVENTURE book. I am really surprised by that. The 1 dollar price drop may have helped.
