Fall-Off Family! that's gotten me intrigued! I might just pick up the Jimmy Olsen series!

So... Monster Boy, Dr. Fate and Gold Lantern are the only ones included here among the "new" Legionnaires. is green skeleton person then supposed to be an existing/old/reimagined Legionnaire? Who? Chemical King? Ferro Lad?

Is that Rose actually doing something? I am longing to find out more about her role with the Legion. Of course I am just as eager to see more of the other legionnaires as well. At least Dr Fate said something in issue #5.

I do hope that tentacled brain creature is one of Projectra's illusions, although since everyone is looking back at the threat behind our POV I am not sure how useful it is. Maybe just to keep everyone moving? Either way they seem to be ignoring it. Is that Brainy's face whirling around the tower? Anyway I am certainly intrigued.

I believe that's Monster Boy. Note the symbol.

You know, I was wondering about who that lady in the foreground was! She seemed important, but clearly not a Legionnaire. Thank you for reminding me about Rose! Yeesh! For someone so prominent in the solicitations, she's basically had that one scene with President Brande, and that's it...

Huh, I wonder what 'emotion' gold lanterns represent? Apathy? Ennui? Mild apprehension? Deja vu? (Yes, deja vu is an emotion now. Just like willpower is an emotion.)

'Cause I'm feeling 'tepid disinterest.' But I think that's a Taupe Lantern thing.

Rainbow Lantern with her power ring based on *sass* is fierce.

Heh! Nice one, Set. I too am a bit iffy on this.

And also: will the issue answer, whether this Gold Lantern has any internalized powers? Is the no-powers rule completely out of the airlock now?

Gold Lantern will be outed as the powers depend on a mechanical device. It's not even a Lantern Ring. Gold Lantern is using the Legion to get information to help find... the lost Ring of Plaid and will become Plaid Lantern! The Legion will not take too kindly to being used and will have an on/off relationship with the character.

They were in Morrison's GL series

That would be a fun tactic for someone who already has similar powers, like Argent, to wear a cheap ring and pretend that all their power comes from the ring, and that there's dozens more just like you waiting to avenge you if anything goes wrong. Major disinformation for the enemy!

"What, she wasn't a 'Silver Lantern' space cop, but just was a Teen Titan meta-punk all along?"

Fool's Gold Lad, Golden Boy's wannabe sidekick, who has gold-colored skin, and turns anything he touches golden *in color.* Turns out to just be Color Kid, cosplaying as Golden Boy!

Still, it's an upgrade he's quite chuffed about, since he do not just bold primary hues, but even *metallic* shades.

And then he shut up Superteen, who was wondering what he was so proud about, by turning the sunlight red. That'll learn 'im. smile
