Yay! Jem was truly outrageous! The first couple of years of the mid-2010s comic book revival were great, too.

Know who thought Jem was outrageous? Brave & Bold animated Aquaman.

I'd have thought he was more likely to have met J'emm. J'Emm and the Mentally Induced Hallucinations has a nice (Saturn) ring to it.

Martian Manhunter kicked Jemm out. Only one telepathic alien from the Solar System allowed. Saturn Girl got kicked out too, poor thing. she was so used to panel-hogging...

She kinda does, which is why she's misusing her telepathy on me!

Saturn Girl is highly principled and would never misuse her powers.

Legion Lost Volume 1 is my favorite multi-part Legion story-arc.

It's really a good one! I still remember how compelled and interested I was by it. It really sucked me in again, after a bit of losing interest in the late Reboot just before DNA took over.

I thought it was going to be like the team stuck between Orando and Earth at the start of the Baxter run. So I skipped it. I wasn't taken by DnAs Legion #1 either so I skipped all of that too.

The first time I saw "Orando" in a Legion comic, I misread it and thought Jeckie was saying she was Princess of Orlando.

I misread it once too! Also misread Kinetix's homeworld of Aleph, as "Aelph".

What were your initial impressions of Legion of the Damned and Widening Rifts? I would imagine they must not have been favorable, either, if you really thought DnA would do something as awful as the early Baxter issues.

It always makes me think of "orange," like in orange soda. Coke vs Pepsi, Orando vs Orangina.

Vyrga makes me think of "virgin". Like, "virgin forests".

Aleph is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet.

Was Zoe's homeworld actually misprinted as "Aelph" once? I seem to have a vague memory of that, but maybe I'm making this up as a way of explaining Ibby's error!

I desire more references to Tennessee Williams plays.

It's the appropriate month to listen to this song, originally feature on Spock's Beard's
The Kindness of Strangers album.
