Mark Waid's 12-issue run on Action Comics just came to a close, and with it Mon-El's story.

Spoilers for those that didn't read it, but want a quick summary of the end:


The Phantom Zone has now been returned to its old state which most Legion readers will be familiar with, that of a void with little physical matter, and both Aethyr and Xa-Du have been removed from power. Mon-El is now the Warden of the Phantom Zone, deciding if the various "zoners" imprisoned there have truly repented and are worthy of being freed into the material plane. If so, they are freed from the zone by the Kandorians and live in the bottled city. Mon-El got this position because the Kandorians observed his actions in the previous issues and decided he was the one they trusted most.

It also seems to give Mon-El a purpose to pursue, during his long stay there.

How was Mon's backstory told--did he and Kal still meet as teens?

I have this silly fanon that Mon's 'opposites attract' relationship with Shady has at least a little to do with the last 1000 years of experience with women has been with Zoners, who were, not always the most delicate of flowers...

Still, words that will never leave Mon's lips. "I like Shady. She's got fire. Like the women I knew in prison." smile

Mon-El's origin has been fully restored: Monday inspiring his name, the Kents meet him, space baseball, and everything.

To quote Superman from Action #1071: "It was, to this day, one of the best weeks of my life"

Linnya, the 21st century Phantom Girl, is in the next issue of Justice League Unlimited (#3) where she and Plastic Man have swapped powers:

I'm glad her character hasn't been abandoned. Plastic Man mentioned the Terrifics in past tense though, so that's a bummer. I was hoping that team would become permanent.

Minor spoiler for JL Unlimited #3 for those that aren't reading it:

Linnya gets her Bgztlian powers swapped back from Plastic Man and immediately phases back to her home dimension to be with her family.
