Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! SLoSH # 17...Is anyone else excited? SPOILERS!

I can't wait for my CBS store to open at 10:00 am. Having just reread # 16, I'm looking forward to 17 more than I have any comic book in a looong time.

I'm excited and I have to wait until after 5pm Pacific to buy and read mine.

So anyone who gets the book before then better spoil everything here! That's an order!

Jillikers! Is this out today? Must go buy...

I picked up my two copies in NYC at 9:00 AM and read it on the way back to the office ...

Use the [SPOILER] tag if you have to.

SPOILER/TEASER ALERT.....


Now we have an unauthorized chronal anomoly on the scene

Brainiac 5 ... he's not a super villian, let's leave it at that.

frippin' reality doesn't always bend to her fippin' will

She just stopped an earthquake by whistling. Can you do that?

It must have been something I ate.

I wish I had a flight ring.

Dream Girl's corpse.

So Dream Girl is 100% dead? Or just comic book dead?

Answers people, answers! I want an entire plot synopsis on this mb stat! None of this cryptic nonsense. We get enough of that from the pros.

Help a brother out!

Jillikers! Has no one spoiled this yet?

Give me a sec.

very excited.

i'm with light lass.

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">So there's these geeky robot cult guys who apparently follow some kind of energy being they call their "electrolord". They're apparently trying to bring him back from some other dimension that he's been exiled to, when the S.P.'s and Legionnaires burst in on them. After typical squabbling between the S.P.'s and the Legionnaires, they suddenly realize that they are "outgunned" by the electrolord. Well, that is, until Supergirl easily defeats him.

Supergirl still thinks she's dreaming the Legion. In fact, she apparently thinks everything since she left Krypton, including her adventures in the 21st century, are a dream, part of some kind of Kryptonian rite of passage. Cos gives a brief recounting of the "myths" about her origins and history in the 21st century. He mentions that, according to at least some versions of the legend, she just vanished one day.

Anyway, there's this legionnaire called Seiss who emits subsonic waves when he gets indigestion, and that causes problems at the construction site for the new Legion HQ, until Supergirl saves the day again. Oh, and after the crisis is over, a mysterious figure offers Seiss membership in a group that might appreciate his potential, unlike the Legion.

Light Lass is upset that everyone is so gah-gah over Supergirl, and especially the whole fact that she can't come to grips with the fact that what is hapenning is real, which leads to some humerous scenes where Ayla points out that if this really were all a dream, Supergirl could have whatever she wants by wishing it. So Supergirl wishes for a few things (Legion membership, a flight ring) and actually receives them.

Meanwhile, a Legionnaires has gone undercover in the S.P. to investigate the infiltrations, and the Dominators are gloating over the fact that their plan to deliver a "techorganic" payload by means of the "inert relic" succeeded.

There's a little more, but that's the gist of it.</span></span>

Oh, and a bit of a theory:

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Is Supergirl herself the payload that was delivered by the Dominion missile?</span></span>

Yay! Now that's what I'm talking about! Thanks EDE!

Sounds like a fun issue. Now I really can't wait to read it!

EDE your theory would be awesome. but i don't think so.

....i think this issue also cleary explains why the future is such a dismall place.

More speculation:

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">I'm guessing the mysterious group that offerred Seiss membership is Terror Firma.</span></span>

Question...


What did you think about the Dominator saying "Remember fifffdee-tu."? There'll be a tie in to the current "One Year Later" gap series?

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">I'm going to take it that the Legionnaires give Supergirl Dream Girl's flight ring based on the various spoilers that I've read thus far. Am I right?</span></span>

i thought workforce for some reason.

That's not clear. Brainy sends it, via Atom Girl. The Legionnaires themselves speculate on where it came from.

However, another important point:

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Timber Wolf has Sun Boy's ring.</span></span>

But, I thought he was shown to be flying already?!?

I'll have to go through all of the issues he's appeared in thus far when I get home.

And thanks!

I think the shadowy man recruiting young legionnaires has something to do with the people that are infiltrating the science police. This may or may not have anything to do with the Dominators.

Yay Dominators (my favorite DCU aliens). I also caught the reference to fivvvvddeeeeetuuuu (52) in the Dominator's monologue.

Man Ayla is catty, I thought her dialog when Lyle was making gahgah eyes at Supergirl was great.

I'm guessing it's a good bet that the Dominators will play a major role in "52" now.

And I think I enjoyed that single page more than any other in the book. The Dominators have rarely looked more scary.

I agree with Disaster Boy. I completely agree with Ayla and think she rocks!

Couple a thoughts...

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">

For some reason, the mysterious group made me think of the Subs.

Since we saw Dream Boy flying on the cover of #20, I don't think that's Nura's ring that Kara has.

Ditzy Kara annoys the heck out of me. </span></span>

At this point, the issue is out, and there's not a lot of point to adding more in-thread spoiler warnings, IMHO... anyone who wants to keep the surprise shouldn't be anywhere near this thread.

I doubt the inviters are Terra Firma (too soon), or the Subs or Workforce, as Waid has avoided recreating old groups.

But since Threeboot has been about youth-rebellion-becoming-authority, I predict a rebel youth sect that rejects LSH's new authority, and sees them as sell-outs.

I think there's something to the Kara-Dominator theory; in the ballpark if not the perhaps too-obvious.

The Legionnaire infiltrating the SPs is either Chameleon or Princess Projectra. Chameleon is the obvious choice, so I'm going with the idea that it'll end up being Jeckie.

Brin Londo is finally officially called Timber Wolf and his homeworld is finally identified as Zuun! Yay!

Very beautiful and well written issue! I can't wait for next issue!
