If Sarya's death hadn't been referenced in the Annual, I'd suggest maybe she hasn't been Empress yet. But maybe they'll fudge over that anyway.

With no Fatal Five, the deaths of at least Ferro Lad and possibly Invisible Kid couldn't have happened the way they did preboot. Plus Shadow Lass's joining must have happened differently.
oh my exactly my thought!

someone needs to ask that question to Paul at SDCC and have him explain how and why, etc.

anyone volunteer? I am unable to go to the SDCC because I will be in Lake Tahoe celebrating the organization s 30th anniversary party. sigh.

The Fatal Five are a HUGE part of Legion lore and removing them from continuity is like removing the Joker from Batman or Lex Luthor from Superman histories.

No Fatal Five? Is this another move dictated to Levitz by TPTB or did he really come up with this himself? Totally unneccessary move in my eyes, but like so many people here I have stopped bothering. I got some enjoyment out of the last few Legion issues so that's a good sign, always loved Levitz / Giffen as a team, so I'll certainly stay on board but I doubt that any new reader will be lured to the book by some cool new Fatal Five thingie when he just has to google that those Fatal Five aren't so new at all... I guess this is just another of those AINT THAT OH SO COOL moves that sacrifices the remnants of meaning and continuity to a quick special effect (anybody remember Morrison giving us the un-eaten Miracle Machine during Final Crisis???)... or Karate Kid during Countdown...

By the way: Has it ever been explained how Karate Kid came back from the dead before Lightning Saga??? I have read so much garbage during the last four years I really cannot remember... [Frown]
