THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #10

The Legion finally fights as a team against the brutal Terror Firma! But after the team-splintering recent events, who's in charge?

as well as a link to the cover...

Got my copy in the mail today. Two words:

1. Holy.
2. Moley.

I seem to be at the head of the line here, so I'll leave it to someone else to give stuff away, but I will tease everyone by saying that as many as three beloved characters may not be appearing in this comic book from here on in. Of those three, the most surprising one is the one most likely not to recur, in my opinion (and I am sad about it).

The story is really getting going.

Matthew - you can still put the spoiler in there with understanding that they will be hidden with a special kind of hypertext...

How the heck did you get a copy several days ahead of the usual release date?

Subscription!

Oh, I know I *can* put the spoilers in...

Mail subscriptions come BEFORE the comic shops get it???

I used to subscribe to comics AGES ago, like in the early 80's. I stopped because my comics came several months after comic shops were getting them...and often a week or two after the newsstand, too.

BTW, I wouldn't be averse to seeing the spoilers either.

Matthew E.

On behalf of my fellow posters I present to you a special honour.

You get the Legion World "Kitson" Merit Badge for successfully advancing excellence in art of teasing.

"Beloved" characters? That leaves Cosmic Boy out... But I've got a bad feeling about this, not from a story-telling standpoint, but afraid they'll deep six the Science Advisor - who hasn't exactly been beloved lately either.

(BTW, Chaim, I've got a subscription too - sometimes it arrives a day before, sometimes a day or two after the official date, occasionally not at all... so I don't know if you're better off with a subscription, unless you don't have easy access to a shop.)

I think any member that gets a book early is duty-bound to spoil everything!

Gray background = #2f2f4f, Blue background = #000080

Isn't this just like the Christmas presents on the top shelf of the parent's closet? Everybody knows they're there. Everybody peeks. But it wouldn't be the same if they were just laid on the kitchen table.

Sometimes they do.

And sometimes they don't come at all. No matter how often you pester DC Comics to send you the comic that you have, after all, already paid for.

I'll be a little clearer about what I posted before - we're talking one or two longtime Legion characters dead or maybe dead, and another one who may or may not exist at all. If you've read the first nine issues, you should have no trouble figuring out who I mean by two out of three of those.

Are we talking Legionnaires or supporting characters potentially dead?

Is the missing person you refer to a certain person involved in the origin tale of the LSH in the other boots?

Like R. J. Brande, for one?

huh? i guess i'm not as smart as i thought i was. i have read the last 9 issues but i don't know what you're talking about.

The last one he mentions has gotta be RJ. I don't know about the other two. I think I've read the long-timers ask where's RJ a thousand times since this series started.

I doubt if Marla (oh come on, that's a girl's name..how come the rebooted version hasn't been renamed "Rix" or something more male-gender friendly?) would be of enough importance to be worried about - even if he is/was/will be Legion's Adult Advisor...

No, it's not Brande. I'm talking about characters who are, or have been, Legionnaires, but are not necessarily Legionnaires at the moment.

OK Matthew, spill it!!! We have got to know!! NOW!! Pretty please? Are they male or female or both and if so who?

He's definitely going for the second level of that LW "Kitson" merit badge. A few more posts like his last 2 posts and Barry himself will have to pin it on him.

Yoo hoo!!! Mattie Poo! We are still waiting!! You will never graduate from being an applicant if you keep with holding such high class information from our esteemed leaders....and moi!

Legion Fan - you have a great picture of Jeckie as your icon - where did you find it (other than the Avatar gallery list)?

Hmmm...beloved by Legion fans in all the previous reboots? I guess that pretty much eliminates Monstress or Thunder

I found this Jeckie in the Avatar gallery list. I was pleasantly surprised to find such a lovely picture as there are too few of Jeckie. You would think with her being royality and all that she would have tons of pics. This is also my favorite costume for Jeckie.

ok, you must mean Ferro Lad...and?
the first LSH comic Waid read was "The Ghost of Ferro Lad", so it makes sense that his version has Ferro dead already.
Who else...
XS? Bouncing Boy? Matter-Eater Lad?
someone threaten this guy with banishment to the Phantom Zone!!!
ps. that Jeckie icon looks like a Grell drawing to me.

The Jeckie icon is a Grell.
