The back up to Shade the Changing Girl #2 this week is Ornitho (from the Wanderers) and Beast Boy (The Lallorian one) teaming up to save a planet while talking about how their shape-changing powers set them apart from others.

Cool!

Young Animal is going for obscure, and I guess it doesn't get too much more obscure than an Orintho / Beasty Boy team-up (though maybe not for this board).

This may end up being the best Legion story in 2016! choke

I checked it out. It's not much of a story (definitely completists only!), but cool for seeing these two guys together!

Yeah, like the other Young Animal backups it's only a few pages and seems designed to let Indy creators play around a bit with obscure characters.

Since Shade's an avian, maybe they plan to bring Ornitho (and Beast Boy) into the main story. Or are the back-ups just playgrounds, as Dave describes?

Yeah, it's misspelled in the story.

Incidentally, for the continuity nerds:

The story references events from the 80s Wanderers stories. Of course, Beast Boy is still alive, which is weird.

With all the Crises and resets in the DCU, I think anything is possible at this point. I think most creators are probably just writing what they want at this point, as it is so hard to keep up with all these events.

Yeah, I don't expect to really to be consistent with any established continuity. It's a little weird that they reference what's not usually considered to be one of the better Legion stories though!
