Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! Early Solit for LSH #12 - Spoilers?

The Planetary Chance Machine.

Here's the page everyone is talking about -

Geez while I don't care for this "era" of the Legion atleast Spaceology looks super cool unlike boring old chess the Legion was playing in #1.

Invisible Kid? Hmmm.

btw, who wrote this issue? thanks.

The Story from Adventure Comics #342? Edward Hamilton.

I love that issue!

Just a thought, but if 13 and 14 are supposed to somehow tie in with Infinite Crisis and, from what I hear, Infinite Crisis kinda says that Crisis on Infinite Earths really didn't end, maybe the death is the death of Superboy, hence the cover similarities. I think this would be the most difficult scene of all for Waid to write since it would have to live up to the glory of the past. Flashback's to Ferro Lad or anyone else wouldn't be all that difficult for him, and I think he would avoid the death of Brainy (since B5 is Mark's fave).

wow. that was so silver age it was awesome. I have to got to start collecting the old stuff. any idea if DC will or has released the early stuff in digest format? thanks.

Check out this thread . In it you'll see all of the reprints for the various issues to date.

I think the last strongly Legion-related reprint was the SUPERBOY #147 replia edition from 2002 or for just some wacky Silver Age (with a dash of Legion) nonsense try DC\'S GREATEST IMAGINARY STORIES which came out last week.

No tragedy for this couple, their template is Taming of the Shrew.

It'll be revealed that she's been aggravating him by playing Petruchio to Brainy's Kate with her pre-cog logic for months.

Asking him "Isn't the moon lovely tonight" on a picnic date on the roof of HQ at noon will finally break him.

Full text of the November solicitation:

LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #12
Written by Mark Waid, art by Barry Kitson and Mick Gray, cover by Kitson.
The first year of Legion of Super-Heroes wraps up in a finale that must be seen to be believed! The pieces have been put in place over the last 12 months and now the threat to the universe stands revealed, leaving the team -- and the 31st century -- in shambles.
40 pages, $2.99, in stores on Nov. 23.

Hmmm. I thought the threat had *already* been revealed.

You can find all the DC November solicitations HERE .

loads of 'INFINITE CRISIS' cross-overs in the November books !! i wonder which 'time lost' hero returns in issue 2 ??

the cover to 'SUPERGIRL' 4 looks cool, she looks like she's in the PHANTOM ZONE from the Superman movies !!

Matthew.

Terror Firma is only the advanced wave.

I wonder what Colossal Boy was doing on the planet Vavoona !?!

taking shurg lessons?

Aw crumbs!

I'd planned on ignoring this until it was all out on the stands...maybe even then too...but if it's the "time lost" hero we've been discussing in another thread then I'll HAVE to buy it.

Think we'll see Valor return to DC and his own title, or maybe even as a Teen Titan? (that would be a wierd switch wouldn't it?)

Speculation - and that's all it is - on any upcoming death scenes:

Surely the most obvious candidate for dying is Cosmic Boy's dad. We already know he's sick. I can visualize an issue in which Rokk leads the Legion to victory in whatever battle they're in, while his dad is succumbing to illness on Braal. This could lead to, for instance, Pol developing a grudge against the Legion.

say, didn't it occur to you all that Atom Girl may be the one who's the deceased they are talking about in the flashback? Atom Girl so far has not appeared lately in the Legion ....hmmm....her dead?

Do they ever refer to her at all, Superboy? Only you can answer my query - or didn't that occur to you, either?

Phantom Girl and Element Lad speak of Atom Girl in the present tense a few issues back.

Well, when Superboymdjr comes back online, you can tell him that, EDE

THAT PONY TAIL DOESN'T BELONG TO SATURN GIRL. THAT'S VIOLET BABY!

I think.

My new speculation is that the girl being chased by the snake is actually Princess Projectra's true appearance.

Holy shades of the reboot Batman!

Nooooooo!

Turning Orando from mediaeval anachronism to a Captain Carrot-esque environment (oh those poor little raccoons working down in the mines! ) was a daring experiment which IMHO went horribly, horribly wrong

* LEGION OF SUPERHEROES #12

LATE-BREAKING: Stuart Moore and Ken Lashley contribute a six-page back-feature to this issue of the all-new LEGION. "I'm a big fan of what Mark Waid and Barry Kitson have done with this book, so it was an honor to be asked to contribute this," Stuart said. "THE LEGION has always featured short pieces that focus more closely on individual members, and that's the idea here. It's a little story -- the first of two -- about Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl, and the whole meaning of the Legion itself."

LEGION OF SUPERHEROES #12 goes on sale November 23rd, 2005.

I'm not familiar with either man's work (all I know is that Moore is the current Firestorm writer), but I look forward to this backup story. Hope we get some preview pages soon.

Thanks TC!
