SUPERMAN #685 -





GREEN LANTERN #38 -





Look Ma! Mordru!

James is definitely there.

I don't know who the girl with redpurple hair and gold skin is, but she looks a LOT like Zoe as an Earth protector.

Probably not her though.
:uummm:

I'm not sure if this is a Legion connection in truth, or just a coincidence of name.

A Leland McCauley appears in this week's Azrael: Death's Dark Knight #1. He seems to be someone of importance in the Order of Purity, a splinter group of the Order of St. Dumas.

I asked Fabian Nicieza about the Leland McCauley appearance over on the DC boards...

ME:
As a Legion of Super Heroes fan, I'm curious about your use of Leland McCauley as a member of the Order of Purity. Was this used as just a throw away name(seeing as he might be dead), or is there intended to be a tie to the 31st century McCauley family and Leland McCauley III?

FABIAN:
That was just a subconscious slip of the lip.

I thought the name McCauley sounding appropriately Anglo-Saxon and the name Leland sounded "old money" to me, but clearly, somewhere in the recesses of my enfeebled mind, my subconscious must have realized it was the Legion name, since I have read the Legion on and off since 1973, it just didn't register as I was writing the script.

Well, even at that there had to be a Leland McCauley and Leland McCauley II somewhere...

anyone else foreseeing christopher kent = as the "superboy" in superboy and the legion?

I dunno about that. You think he might be double dipping?

Not sure if anyone's brought up the Legion stuff appearing in "Supergirl: Cosmic Adventurs in the 8th Grade" , but issues # 3 & 5 have a time travelling Supergirl show up in a Legion belt. In #5 she also has flight ring, and talks about Brainy and how the "team" wanted to call her Andromeda. She also shows up riding Comet.

in green lantern 40, THE BOOK OF OA IS HELLA WRITTEN IN INTERLAC!!

i had no idea! i'm staring really hard trying ot read it, i'm usually pretty good at sight-translating it but...

help?

some of is it "the vega system is no longer outside of the green lantern corps' jurisdiction", of course! i mean the other bits!

Is everyone reading Superman?

It's really good! It's like how Valor might have been if it was done properly the first time.

There's also an exciting appearance from Tellus!

I liked Valor, I have no shame in saying but your other sentiments are mine too!

Superman is great right now. I do have to say i thought the Zero Hour issues were fantastic to finish out the Valor series.

Brave & the Bold #23 has a new Rip Hunter chalkboard with a couple of Legion related entries...

It was shown awhile ago that the book of OA is interlac. (which I honestly find weird) The other type is the other "new" laws. There was a clearer shot of the book somewhere, but it's not a surprise - it's exactly what the other three laws are, which the Guardians spelled out as they did the fouth one here. This isn't word for word, but the other laws are:
- lethal force is sanctioned against member of the Sinestro Corps
- lethal force is sanctioned against all enemies of the GLC
- romantic relations within the GLC are forbidden

So, I imagine the left hand page in the image reads: (I'm filling in the blanks where there are brackets)

"[lethal force again]st the [sinestro corps] has be[en] authorized"

"[lethal fo]rce has be[en authorize]d against all [enemies] of the green [lantern corp]s"

Valor was still better than whatever Mon-El is today, even though current version is good too.

I'm not so sure. I really did like the Valor series but it seemed pretty directionless until the build up to Zero Hour. There was quite a bit of construction of a mythos going on and I was eager to see where it might go but Glorith and the Legion took over the series. That's not actually a complaint, mind you, I loved it but it concluded the series and come to think of it concluded the entire DC reboot.
The last half dozen issues were wonderful.

I may agree that it was a bit directionless, but character building was much stronger then. Now, it seems all pretty rushed, as most scripts these days seem to be (action-oriented). I think he was more fully conceived by Bob Fleming (and Kurt Busiek) than now.

I'm loving Mon-El and Tellus in Superman, the guardian not so much.

also maybe not DCU 'proper' but Landry Walker has posted concept sketches of Brainiac 5 online had he appeared in Supergirl:Cosmic Adventures in the 8th grade. (Why he didn't is mentioned there although he was mentioned and Supergirl wore her Legion ring and belt from issue 3)Also some Streaky the Super-Cat

Legion, specifically Karate Kid gets a mention in Wednesday's comics, the Teen Titan strip.

It say KK in a brainwashed state had taken on the Trident costume.

Did this really happen? I must have missed that story.

This would be the first reference in Wednesday's comics to traditional DC Universe, at least that I've noticed.

This happened in Justive League 1-4 & 7, in the run up to the Lightning Saga

Why in the world would the Wednesday Comics Teen Titans strip mention that KK was disguised as Trident? How did that even come up??

Because Trident is the villian in the strip.

Hey guys, guess where Jeckie is.
