Speculation - and that's all it is - on any upcoming death scenes:
Surely the most obvious candidate for dying is Cosmic Boy's dad. We already know he's sick. I can visualize an issue in which Rokk leads the Legion to victory in whatever battle they're in, while his dad is succumbing to illness on Braal. This could lead to, for instance, Pol developing a grudge against the Legion.

say, didn't it occur to you all that Atom Girl may be the one who's the deceased they are talking about in the flashback? Atom Girl so far has not appeared lately in the Legion ....hmmm....her dead?

Do they ever refer to her at all, Superboy? Only you can answer my query - or didn't that occur to you, either?

Phantom Girl and Element Lad speak of Atom Girl in the present tense a few issues back.

Nooooooo! I dont want to ever ever get bit by that snake-scenario (pre-Waid/Kitson) again. Worst idea a creative team could have! Jeckie looks better as a humanoid!
Turning Orando from mediaeval anachronism to a Captain Carrot-esque environment (oh those poor little raccoons working down in the mines! ) was a daring experiment which IMHO went horribly, horribly wrong

LATE-BREAKING: Stuart Moore and Ken Lashley contribute a six-page back-feature to this issue of the all-new LEGION. "I'm a big fan of what Mark Waid and Barry Kitson have done with this book, so it was an honor to be asked to contribute this," Stuart said. "THE LEGION has always featured short pieces that focus more closely on individual members, and that's the idea here. It's a little story -- the first of two -- about Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl, and the whole meaning of the Legion itself."
LEGION OF SUPERHEROES #12 goes on sale November 23rd, 2005.
I'm not familiar with either man's work (all I know is that Moore is the current Firestorm writer), but I look forward to this backup story. Hope we get some preview pages soon.

as a true newbie, never collected LSH until now, I am always amazed by the longing for past characters, attitudes, villians, etc, etc.
however, the one thing that most long-time LSH readers seem to agree on not wanting to see again, are the Snake and the mine working racoons.
was really that bad?

The whole scenario featuring a permenant underclass of servants for the royalty just touched too many raw nerves in fandom. Add the fact that we were never sure if they were an economic underclass or outright slaves to the the fact that they were mammals in apparent servitude to reptiles and you get a really creepy dynamic.
That the mammals were similar to raccoons just got people completely upset at the unintentional (we hope) racial slang reference and none of it really worked out very well.

Regarding the #12 backup story, I found another snippet from Stuart Moore which sheds a little more light on it:
"It was a last-minute addition, so it wasn't in the solicitation. It's a nice little story about the philosophy of the Legion and the romance between Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl."
The bit about it being "a last-minute addition" is mighty curious, considering this is the climax of a year-long arc that has presumably been planned from the very start. Don't you think?

You'll find some additional spoilerish stuff about the Stuart Moore backup stories HERE at rec.arts.comics.dc.lsh, by a poster named Wildcard who receives Moore's e-mail newsletter:
* In the very very late-breaking news department: I've written back-feature stories for LEGION OF SUPERHEROES #12 & 13. If you don't remember seeing that information in the solicitations, you didn't -- that's how last-minute this was. I'm a big fan of Mark Waid & Barry Kitson's LEGION -- hell, I've always loved the Legion -- so this was a great little assignment.
The first story features Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl, while the second one focuses on Dream Girl. The two issues wrap up the exciting first-year storyline, and the back-features stand alone, but comment subtly on the main action. On sale November 23rd and December 28th, respectively.
Will the second story be told in flashback or at her funeral, or does Dream Girl live??!
Something tells me that the first-year story arc spilled over to the 13th issue for a reason other than Barry's absence or WaK having too much material for one issue. Did they have to postpone the ending to wait for something elsewhere in the DCU to happen first? If so, what?
