Devem was never a major player to me, so I guess I'm not feeling the pain. The other characters looks good (to me).
Looks like they're filling in a few details from the old time and time again?
A Star"man" partly knows about pre-crisis? Somehow two Starboys got merged and he seems nuts?
I suppose it'd all be clearer if I actually bought the darn things, but that's a lot of money just to see a few panels. The story seems interesting to me.

Dev-Em's gotten so screwed up over the years I don't expect we'll ever see the version we're familiar with again. Makes me wonder why they bother using the name at all.

So all indication is the that the Mon-El that's appearing in this issue is the Mon-El from Supergirl and the Legion, right?
Anyone want to venture a guess as to how it is that the Lightning Saga Legion also has a Mon-El?

See, I liked Dev-Em. My favorite storyline with him is the one where Dark Circle kidnapped him and he has Kryptonite poisoning, that was my first exposure to him and I thought it was cool that there was a security agency (can't remember what's it called) and that Dev-Em worked with them over the Legion. I dunno, it just seemed unique. T
hen I learn later (through Showcase Presents) that he was a complete meanie to Superboy but then comes to the 30th century and finds his own way, I just thought it made him very interesting.
Now I learn that that Dev-Em disappeared YEARS ago and the other versions all seem to be psychos. to me a juvenile deliquent with super powers who does spy stuff is SO much cooler than super powered psycho, we have tons of those. Oh well, it's not like I ever thought I would see him again aside from back issues.

I agree. When it comes to the Legion his memory is spotty it seems. Yet he has the PC Legion statues. Wierd.

There is some pre-crisis precedent for this, in Adv 300 when Mon is temporarly released from the PZ, Superboy is excited that Mon-el might be cured. When he should be distraught that he's been in there for over 1000 years.

This aspect of Dev-em I really liked too. It fit in well with the political intrigue and helped keep the book from being a "who do we pound this month" comic.

See, I always thought Superboy was a real jerk for not offering to fly the cure BACK 1000 years. Instead he makes Mon-El stay in horrible confinement for a millennium. Seriously, Earth's Greatest Hero? Most like WORST FRIEND EVER!

I have to agree. Why is Superboy going to let present Mon-El suffer for a thousand years. Jerk.

Because he's already there in the 30th century, and he can't change history.
I bet he tried take the serum back a few times, and it always got broken in the time stream and stuff.
