Ouch!
Poor Lar and Chris!
It looks like Zod won't be anymore redeemed than Lex!

I enjoyed B&B.
I like science but I don't have any idea if that was the original Doom Patrol and when in time they were.

It wasn't until recently that we could detect black holes at all.
Einsteir therorized about them but didn't really believe in them because we had no way to 'see' them.

Hubble changed that, I think, not sure, but I'm never sure of things I think.
sigh

But the Legionnaires didn't have Thom or Ayla with them, and Ayla was still lightning then.
So their abilities would be a moot point, right?
They had to make do.

My favorite part was was Imra and Rokk being out of uniform for a few panels.
Thank the Lord that they actually were shown to take them off.
Or even PARTS of them.
Such a natural, realistic moment!

I just realized, you'd think they'd show a bit of concern with the fact that when Earth was destroyed, their other teammates got killed as well...

I thought that was kind of groovy actually. Like this sort of thing isn't completely out of the ordinary and the Founders just rolled with it and set out to make it right. Very Silver Age-esque in that regard.

This was probably the best 'founders all together' story in quite a long time.

Levitz fans will also want to check out Paul\'s strongest showing since his \'return\' thus far in Superman/Batman . Very well done!

It wasn't until recently that we could detect planets in other solar systems either. But it's not hard to detect a planet that's right here.

Actually, it WAS pretty hard to see them well until Hubble.

Of course, we would have noticed gravitational changes but I don't know if we would have been able to 'see' or understand a black hole suddenly appearing in the 60's.

We also need to remember, something I forget often it seems, is that this is the DCU, not OUR reality, so things are frequently 'different'.

The point is that detecting black holes that are as big and as close as the one in the book is much easier than detecting ones that are at the distance they are in the real world. We'd detect it just from the gravitational influence it had on the other planets. It's true we might not be able to get a picture of it, but we'd know it's there. A black hole isn't going to hide until the last moment just because it's black.

What if it hides all day and only comes out at night? Then it would blend in with the rest of the sky.

Wow, B&B #35 was weird... who were those Inferior Five supposed to be, are those new characters? Anyway the issue was not as funny as it was meant to be, but the one line "Well, it IS your color" nearly killed me smile

The biggest surprise is that during the coarse of the story the Legion finds .... what can only be described as ... a pink TRIBBLE???
What a nice little surprise this was for someone like me who's enjoyed Star Trek in its many forms over the years.

... I wonder what it means tho'!

Chemical King,

The Inferior Five first appeared in Showcase back in 1966. They were meant to be parody of the superhero genre.

Here is a link to their Wikipedia entry

I just picked up Legacies #5 and was a bit disappointed that the Legion didn't get much screen time. Colossal Boy was the only one who spoke (one line) and you only see Ultra Boy, Star Boy and Dawnstar's legs. That's it!

Next issue is the Legion tribute issue with my favorite cover of all time, drawn by Giffen ... can't wait! laugh

George Perez's artwork is incredible! This man will never slow down, I don't think ... lucky for us! His work is a pleasure to behold. I hope he's the one drawing issue #6's interior, that would truly be a blessing. BTW the Perez cover was outstanding!!!

The story wasn't half bad either ... hmmmmm, maybe I'll go back and buy #1 - 4 now. Guess I'm hooked!

^ Legacies has been very good right from the start FK.

As long as you realise it's more of a thematic history of the DCU than one beholden to strict continuity rules, you'll be able to relax and enjoy what's been a really fun, heartfelt tribute to the long, legendary characters and creators of the DCU.

it was interesting...they had the original Supergirl (headband and all) in this Legacies on this "Pre-Crisis" Earth. I put that in quotes cause it seems to be New Earth's Pre-Crisis history given the facts of the Earth 4 heroes (charlton comics) were on its Earth, the JSA and the Freedom Fighters, the Marvel Family were heroes on it as well.

And for the Anal Completists among us:

That was the most interesting thing to me (although the numerous appearances you listed were very welcome). This would seem to indicate that Supergirl (older and time displaced?) still died/dies in CoIE. Of course, they can pop her in the Kryptonian crystal healing chamber thingy and bring her back to life I suppose. Then maybe ship her off to the 31st century permanently to romace Brainy and keep him sane?

Thanks for posting superboymddjr!

I just can't say enough about how much I love Perez's work ... that beautiful cover(s) should be made into a poster one day.

Plus - is that Dr Regulus' feet getting punched out by Power Girl. Or is it <strike>Neutrax</strike> Neutron or someone.

Great cover!!! George Perez is such a master. He throws in so much good stuff to please the eye. My favourite element on this cover is Vigilante getting punched out of that window by Mammoth(? I think... or could it be Solomon Grundy?). Such a small touch but a great one.

I was hoping to see Colossal Boy on here to make up for his miscolored appearance last issue (and because he always looks good in a crowd scene) but oh well.

Still a great cover. And a great book too.

^ The legs seem to have some sort of fiery energy around them that I don't think Goldface ever had. Not to mention they're high in the air indicating a flier, which Goldface can't do (I don't think). It's either Neutron or Dr Regulus I'm sure.
