Yeah, I thought I had read somewhere else that this was an all-new "Captain" Comet? That would obviously contradict the Newsarama article that focused on Blake as Comet for "all these years..." and him being an older hero now (like with his greying hair in the Rann-Thanagar War.
What really matters to me is, are we going to see some L.E.G.I.O.N.naires during this series. Doesn't sound like it, since it focuses on Wierd and Comet.

I fear OM is so right -- how many times can Starlin tell the same story? Why should we buy it again. Cobie, I thought I was the only one that had forgotten The Weird. Wasn't there some really pointless, overly long story with the JLA? It would have been so much better to have some new blood on this.

Looks good. Interesting that they give that away in a preview. I'll probably still pick it up, at least for Starlin.

Click Here For A SpoilerThe starting point for both stories occurs as Captain Comet is killed by an unseen ambush or disaster. His enormous will to live and his telepathic power somehow call out to the Weird's essence and they merge for a moment before separating again. This causes both Comet and the Weird to come back to life.
Back on the Hardcore Station, Comet's talking dog Tyrone and his colleague (romantic interest?) Eye catch some thugs breaking in to Comet's place. With Comet dead, Tyrone gives the highlights of Comet's career. He mentions his origin in the 50s, the SSoSV era and the recent freelance work with L.E.G.I.O.N. in R/T war. He does not mention the lengthy membership in L.dot but he does not contradict it either.
Story ends as the dog finds the new Comet knocked out in his study. In the back-up the Weird reappears and finds himself on an Eternal Light Corp. World.
The art has a nice science fiction look to it. Davis went out of his way to populate the station with non-humanoid aliens. My one complaint is that I had a hard time figuring out the chronological order of the events in the story because of the way the scenes were strung together.

there was a reference for Comet working freelance for L.E.G.I.O.N at the time of the Rann/Thanagar War and how Virl and L.E.G.I.O.N are suing/withholding payment of services because Comet went to Vega to help out the outer space heroes.
other then that not much.

Comet's involvement with LEGION was mentioned but only his R/T War freelance mission specifically. His earlier membership was not mentioned or contradicted. I expect that there are some revisions to LEGION continuity that havent been shown yet.
