JL 17 - Brainy gives Cyborg a flight bracelet, which he realizes has to be resized because Cyborg refashions it as a ring.

I'm actually finding the little Brainiac 5 kind of adorable. Serious, focused and intense without any snark.

Please I really hope they're not gonna say the Justice League is now the Legion's inspiration instead of Superman.

The latest episode of Supergirl mentions Lex collected weapons and stored them around the world in bunkers. The Persuader's Atomic Axe is one of the weapons he collected to use against Superman. I believe there was a reference to "Rimbor" in the latest ep.

Was it Vartox's axe? Anyway, it was definitely referred to as an "atomic axe" in Luthor's weapons vault.

If someone gets the latest issue of "Supergirl" featuring the Emerald Empress, can someone tell me if it's worth picking up as a Legion (and Empress) fan? Thanks!

It's certainly not the story they implied it is. Superman shows up to talk with Kara (really just a way to lay out the new Status quo after "Reborn"), while they attend to matters at National City, one of the things they do is take on the Empress, no real explanation where she came from. She screams about Saturn Girl revealing to her it was all Supergirl's fault, Supergirl throws a truck at her and she disappears. That's it, less than two pages.

Yeah, I skimmed the issue, and the Emerald Empress plot is, like, 3 pages. Also, I think I saw Clark say this eye is magic, so it's probs not Green Lantern tech. I have no clue what that could mean.

There's a fine line between not listening and not caring. I like to think that I walk that line every day of my life.

In Kamandi Challenge #2 (art by Neal Adams, story by Peter Tomasi), there's a scene with a few DC comics (as Kamandi travels on what appears to be Metron's chair) including the Baxter LSH #1. The others are two Kamandi comics, one New Gods and Adams GL-GA #1.
The Legion book is an odd one since the others tie into the character or the creators. Maybe just a curiosity.

Legion sighting in Batman 21, unfortunately It's just mentally unwell Saturn Girl screaming about how nothing will stop it and no one will save the Legion, not even Superman. Fun!

Yes the Batman 21 appearance was all set up. Seems like the "mysterious woman in the mental asylum" will be some kind of harbinger to mark events
At least the Legion is confirmed to exist... somewhere, somewhen

The only thing I found upsetting with the appearance was that Tom King has no idea how how hockey fights work!

What shocked me most was how great Jason Faboks artwork was. Didn't have him on my list ... really good job. Unfortunately the Lenticular Cover is not available outside the US and Canada ... is that Trumps doing?  ?

Count yourself lucky, my shop ONLY had the lenticular cover, so I had to shell out an extra buck.

I was just reading that DC were going back to an earlier time without DiDio at the helm. But lentils on covers isn't going to make me pick up books any more than Go Go Checks would get me back into a hippy '60s DC vibe! I will *not* buy Brother Power the Geek! I will *not*... sorry.. what... "lenticular"... sure I know what it means...ah...no... it means that?... oh...right...move along...move along...

In the latest Supergirl (#9), Supergirl and Batgirl tussle with the New-52 version of Magog, who, like the Empress last issue, accuses Kara of a future crime she needs to be held to accountable for. He also talks about being a member of the Fatal Five. Seems the Emerald Empress is assembling her own team again.

Bah! Mano would easily beat Magog at arm wrestling to get into the Fatal Five. Mind you, Mano would beat anyone at that...

Wouldn't it depend which arm was tied behind his back?

How consistently is it shown which arm he uses? I think I've seen him use energy blasts from both at one point.

I always thought it was supposed to be his right hand. But you might be right. Which leads to interesting questions about his sex life... No wonder he turned to villainy

Yes, because even holding someone in a chaste, pre marital way would have led to disaster >innocent eyelash flutter<

It's actually because everywhere outside the U.S. the yellow smiley face is owned by The Smiley Corporation and has to be licensed for use. Within the U.S. the smiley is in the public domain. DC finds it easier to do different covers than pay the licensing fee for its use.
