Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities Official '52' Discussion Thread ... SPOILERS!

Jeepers! The DCU is being invaded by the Borg!

After this issue, I'm starting to believe this as well. The only thing I can't quite fit into the picture is the powers displayed by Super nova.


Yeah, I think it's starting to look like she's a goner for sure. I hope she goes out in a blaze of glory.

Yeah, I think the stretchable sleuth will be back in action before very long (like maybe by next issue)

Did anyone else notice that One-Eye Ekron was positioned alongside the Space Heroes but the Eye was not to be seen?

Yeah, I thought that was weird.

According to the latest "5.2" on Newsarama, it sounds like Supernova may be two people.

Oh, and if it's Booster, the powers are all based on time travel somehow.

Hmmm...Booster and Waverider?

A moment of silence, please, for Captain Comet, who went out bravely, honorably, and (shudder) horribly.

Now go buy Mystery in Space.

Thank you.

Michael and Daniel?

And I am enjoying MiS, immensely. I don't know why they needlessly complicated Comet's deah in the 5.2 segment.

After a bat week and a grim issue. I was blown away by the Nanda Parbat scenes in this one. Now if someone could explain to me (more confused than Ralph right now) what Grant Morrison was saying to Ralph, I'd be thankful.

My thought was that it was foreshadowing his death.

That's one theory.

Another is that he's already dead.

Help me out... didn't Ralph ask Helmet to take him to Nanda Parbat few weeks back? And last week he was talking to Cassie and Supernova.

A good issue, but this week wasn't as griping as others for me.

Last week he sent the helmet on ahead while he took a "detour" to talk to Cassie.

So, did anyone else notice the Neal Adams reference in the latest issue?

Not initially, but I did see it.

What Neal Adams reference?

Things that interested me about the latest ish:
-- who's that Robin-looking dude at the TT tryouts talking about "on my earth"?
-- Is it foreshadowing or a horrible horrible tease to Question fans that at Nanda Parbat, there was a guy who could "destroy cancers with a click of his tongue" two weeks after Vic left?!?!?

In the scene where Rama Kushna first appears to Ralph, there's an appearance of rising smoke/flame at the bottom of the panel. If you look closely, it's letters, with the words "Neal Adams" spelled out amongst them. (the rest appear to just be filler)

Doesn't anyone else think that Vic as the Question will die and he's grooming Renee to be the new Question? She was, after all, referred to as one of the Questions and vic did bring her to his teacher, Richard Dragon, for training.

I do have fears that Vic will die but I don't want him to. I was very excited when Vixen was looking for him for a date in JLA #1. Hey, does that mean he's still around "One Year Later?" I hope so.

It's the popular theory, but I'm hoping that it's something so many people are seeing coming that it means DC plans to do something else.

***Legion AR alert!!!!!!***

If that guy in the back of the Suicide Squad splash page is who I think it is....oh my!!!!!


***end Legion AR alert***

Oh, and by the way, if anyone had any doubts about Luthor I'm hear to declare once and for all...he is slime!

I have to say I'm still really enjoying the series. I keep letting my comics pile up for a month or so, then pick up four or five 52's at a time. It's KILLING my comics budget, but it's really one of the only comics I'm looking forward to at this point. The Question, Black Adam, Ralph Dibney, Supernova, etc. are becoming much more interesting to me than before. I'm a little over the space group, but maybe they'll throw in enough Legion subtext for me to stay interested. Supernova? I don't have a clue. Is Superman too obvious? Would he really be able to stay retired?

Vee, he's my favorite Legion antagonist. I was blown away!

With the talk of miracles and the little blurb at the end of this issue where Vic is on a gurney and there appears to be a light of some kind appearing before them I'm hoping he gets some kind of last minute reprieve. Maybe the Black Marvel family will save him?!? (that Perfect Physician guy seems like the best bet, but I don't see why he'd seek out Vic)
