Do you read any of the gossip mags where presumably they appear even when they're not on a show?

I don't read those magazines. The most I will do is look at the covers while I am waiting in line at the grocery store.

Very hard not to buy anything with such good artwork on the front. It was sometimes a bit disapointing to realise they didn't do the interior art too.

I think some people felt that way when Alan Davis began doing covers for the Reboot Legion

That worked for me as I picked up a few of them. Did Adam Hughes ever do Legion covers?

For me, if it not a book I regularly buy and the cover attracts me, I flip through the book before buying it.

I'd have bought it for the cover anyway. This would have been back when the comics were bagged... and presumably when I was either too rushed or thick to look at the credit box on the cover

I used to buy solely back issues because they were cheaper. This was when the Internet was new and issue summaries were not common. I would have to use the cover to guess whether I wanted an issue.
It also left a lot of holes in my collection that took a while to fill...

Jimmy Olsen's silly hat collection is Mordru's real weakness. That's why he invaded Earth and went back in time. And since when was there dirt in a hole anyway?

Jimmy stole the dirt? Was he trying to get some "dirt" for a story with Lois?

He was getting the dirt on Superman so he could run off with Lois - Jimmy Olsen's Blues

I thought he was trying to prove he was the ancestor of The Mess.

After being rejected by the Legion, the Mess started a janitorial service. He soon had as much money as Lester Spiffany.

He also had as much dirt on him as Trump does.

At least the Mess' dirt is organic.
