Exploding claws were stupid when that guy from Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy series had them in the 90's, and they are stupid now. You want flying stabby things? Give us Porcupine Pete!

I am....not sure how I feel about the Yera revelation. It IS a heavy thing to have attached to her, but it might be the thing to stop her just being 'that Durlan who replaced Vi that time' forever. I reallly hope Brin doesn't have to kill her next issue. Funny that I called the right idea with the wrong character...

Licking the corpse: kinda (read: SUPER) gross. Could have done without seeing that.

Brin driving a car: hrmmm dunno if I like that. Driving a car is hard enough for people to learn when they're basically familiar with the concept. I don't remember the last time I even saw a wheeled ground vehicle in the 31st century...

It looks like the next few issues are gonna be spotlighting a different member of the team individually...looking forward to seeing Tellus' issue if that's the case!

According to Fabian on the DC boards, "As for Yera, no, she didn't murder anyone. Red Rage did." Red Rage is apparently a different being.

Maybe he ate Yera first or something.

I'm loving this book. Popping claws, corpse-licking & everything!

I'm still having a hard time with this book.

Things I liked:

The team together in the hotel.
Brin's narration.
Brin driving a car.
Woods' rendering of Dawnstar was much improved this issue.


Things I didn't like:

The cover. Yuck.
The story still doesn't feel like it is flowing well.
Everybody suddenly referring to Tyroc by the new nickname of Ty.
Brin's exploding claws.


Yera's return? Creepy and confusing. We'll see how it plays out.

I was a little as to why the character that Brin was chasing, Red Rage I thought, was looking for and sucking the marrow out of Durlans.
Then, RR jumps at the bird human, Brin shoots it with his bloody claws (gross0, tells it to calm down, it collapses (?) and Yera appears.
Did she come from the RR or was she the bird it was on top of?

I don't think that driving a car would be much different than driving a personal hover craft/floating vehicle that we've seen in the Legion's past, but who knows?

Brin still looks like he has his acrobatic/agility powers, to me, just wolfy agility rather than a human ring or horse type of skill.
I didn't care much for the claws idea BUT, if Brin is showing changes, what will the others display, including Dawny!
That could be very interesting, as long as she doesn't start shooting her feathers at people.
Or, maybe that WOULD be okay!

Maybe she could shoot Hypertaxis infected feathers at people and change them into strange new villains!

I liked #3-- though that cover would've put me off if I was a 'bubble' sort of purchaser.

I think the creators should reveal that Tellus' people, or perhaps Tellus as an individual, have/has some sort of slow shape-changing adaptation that they have no control over. The more time he spends on land among humans, the more he adapts to look like us. 'Cause that posture and his hands where he's floating above the bed just isn't explicable any other way. 'Artistic choice' isn't a viable response, in my opinion. Not in an edited serial form of storytelling.

I did like the telepathy exploration. Someday, I'd like to see a mission featuring Imra, Tellus and Sensor Girl/Projectra. We've seen both Saturn Girl and Tellus, now, use their telepathy to mimic illusion. I'd like to see how their telepathic version is different than and or similar to Jeckie's.

I'm not sure what's going with Yera, though I look forward to finding out.

Brin's claws... what race does he get *that* from? Are all the adaptations directly traceable to a planetary population's traits?

I found his thoughts about expecting a change of some sort quite compelling. I wish it'd been drawn out a bit more. Maybe he'll push his teammates to experiment? Also, I don't remember ever reading him thinking of himself as a wolf before. Am I forgetting something? So far, he isn't really behaving as if his fellow Lost were Pack, is he? I wonder if his wolfishness will grow stronger...?

What will an encounter with real wolves be like? Or werewolves? Sigh- I'd like a meeting with Krypto... but that seems out of the realm of possibility just now.

I think Yera was Red Rage all along. She was trying to find and "eat" Durlan DNA to... rebuild herself? And the poor bird thing was, I guess, a human infected with Durlan DNA from the Hypertaxis bomb.

I remember a Preboot mission that featured Imra, Jeckie and Tellus escorting Universo to prison. Wish that had turned into a longer mission!

Maybe Jeckie "broadcasts" while the other two directly affect what the mind perceives. I remember the Threeboot version at least being mentioned to have that limitation.

The bird thing's DNA was already detailed, and very much not Durlan. Similarly, the creature doing the eating was described as being Okaaran.

So, I think that the Okaaran-infected person *ate Yera* (or, at least, whatever chunk of her it found), and was chasing down bird-alien to eat it, too. When it was defeated, Yera (or whatever percentage of her it Red Rage ate) burst free from it's body.

It wasn't terribly clear, but I'm not sure we weren't meant to possibly come to the (false) conclusion that Red Rage was Yera, on the final page, as a cliff-hanger.

The clues were scattered around (Red Rage being called out as Okaaran, the bird-alien as another species entirely), but not 'sewn up' for us (or for Brin) quite yet.

It looked to me that after eating the bird-thing, there was enough Durlan dna in rdrayyj that Yera was able to consciously form out of him. Previous to that, I imagine Yera's instinct to reform was driving the rdrayyj on a more subconscious level.

A real wolf encounter would be great! Especially since Brin's homeworld probably didn't actually have wolves on it.
But, colonists might have transplanted wolves to their world, for some reason.

Is there a DC werewolf?
There certainly seem to werewolves everywhere else!

And I sure hope they reintroduce Krypto ASAP!
He's one of my absolute favorites, along with Gates and Proty!
I'd love Brin to meet up with him.

He was just reintroduced in Action Comics #3.

The other thing that really didn't make sense was why Brin was standing around talking while the red rage creature was eating the winged creature. Why didn't he try to save her?

I liked this issue until I didn't.

The art was nice. I liked how full the narrative was; it really helped the story along. I liked the references to multiple alien species.

Timber Wolf's attitude was a bit tiring, but it was nice seeing him portrayed as reasonably competent instead of just rebellious.

Then there were the exploding claws. And the implication that Yera's rebirth motivated the murders. Bleah.

Say, if all of the Legion's future tech is so problematic, why aren't the two members who are so dependent on that tech (Wildfire with the tech in his suit and Tellus with the tech in his environmental apparatus) also encountering problems? Has that been mentioned already?

Good point on the flight rings. At least Legion Lost (the DNA series) explained the loss of flight as the element itself being rendered inert.

Maybe if we're lucky, the non-fliers will realize that and use their willpower to fly... although in practice it doesn't seem to make that big a difference. Only Timber Wolf and Gates cannot "fly" by themselves, and Tellus' telepathy allows them to communicate with one another.

I agree with you that the art and writing should "meld" enough that there can only be one interpretation of that scene, unless the writer intended for it to be ambiguous. I really hope it's cleared up at the start of next issue.

I just assumed it was Yera because he was saying, "Chameleon Girl is trying to come back to life". So I assumed Yera had to consume Durlan DNA to do that.

But if the writer did say in an interview that Yera didn't kill anyone... I'm at a bit of a loss.

My theory is that Brin already knew it was Yera, and was trying to talk her down from it. I remember him clearly saying, "Back away from the girl" or something like that - I assumed the girl was the winged creature.

LOL!!!!
NLL, you are the cutest thing ever!

Yeah, realisim doesn't seem to have much to do wih any of this.
sigh

I've been confused, too, but I know that Brin wouldn't kill any of the hypersapians (or anyone else, for that matter) or let someone kill someone on his watch.

So, I know that what Fabian said was true, Yera didn't kill anyone and the story wasn't meant to come across that way or he wouldn't have said that.
Unfortunately, he and the artist weren't clear.
But, as a team, this is only their 3rd issue together and the whole concept is very complex.

We just need to remember that these are Legionaires and their mission is NOT to kill the hypersapeans.
