LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #14

Written by Mark Waid, art by Barry Kitson and Mick Gray, cover by Kitson.

For months, most of the team believed her existence to be a myth, a rumor, a prank. Now, get ready to meet Atom Girl, a.k.a. "Shrinking Violet," the Legion's newest member and Brainiac 5's secret weapon! But will her presence be enough to buy Invisible Kid some much-needed trust and credibility?

40 pages, $2.99, in stores on Jan. 25.

Where'd she get those tiny little guns!

Maybe it's just me, but I think the coloring on this version from Comicscontinuum.com looks a lot better.

Yeah. I think I'm disappointed to find out that this doesn't happen sooner. I was pretty sure she'd have shown up by this issue.

It's too bad that Lyle is still mistrusted by issue #14 - and possibly beyond. I would have thought that would be resolved by #13 with the one-big-happy/united-Legion.

She could show up earlier, but just not featured until 14?? Hope so!

Good point! I hope you're right!

And should we assume that it's Cosmic Boy who's holding her? If it wasn't for the fingernail, I would love to guess that its Dream Girl.

Interesting that they've changed her color scheme, but I think I like it.

And those tiny guns are from the Silver Age!

Well at least one person must know about Vi. It appears Vi uses the same hair stylist as Saturn Girl.

And maybe the same tailor as Brainiac 5. The green/purple color scheme can't be a coincidence. Methinks Brainy's been carrying her around all this time, and no wonder we didn't see her. She blended right in with his costume!

So here is the real question then. Who is holding her? Cos? But she is not on Cos's team. Invisible Kid? Not Brainy, unless the colorist is on vacation! Nice proportions though. Kinda like those of a "small" person.

Boy now I can't wait. UGH! smile .. But that is a good thing!

Any ideas.... even though it probably is Cos, as those are his "look", like NC said.

LLLater!

For something completely different...

While browsing the other January covers, I encountered a question. When there's a chance, can anyone familiar with the Robin title explain the cover to #146. I thought the circled L should have been trademarked by now.

Purple/Green? eh. I was hoping green/black.

But who cares?! Awesome cover! I'm a big Violet fan. Probably my fave female member.

NICE to see her with some guns! I was scared...she might have been nothing but a cute shy useless girl. wink

NICE!

But isn't that the LuthorCorp symbol? I thought that version was being used by Luthor for the last few years.

I am wondering if she from Imsk? Does Imsk natives have shrinking powers?

Since Colu is using all that shrinking technology I wonder if Brainy is the reason for her powers?

Looks like Lex is trying to reclaim his half-clone.


Who's holding her indeed? Most of the legionnaires wear gloves. Those who don't are few I can only think of Dream Girl, Projectra, Karate Kid. And if you look at the "Hand" scene in issue 10, she doesn't have nails any longer than mystery hand. Projectra seems to have pointier nails and that is obviously not KK.

And since Barry is the biggest tease of them all, could this be the ultimate tease?

I think Invisible Kid may be holding her. He doesn't wear gloves right?

He has brown eyes though. And I didn't think of the glove angle. That means its Dream Girl!!! laugh
