Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities Justice Society of America (spoilers!)

Ahh, that would explain it!

Didio indicated 4 worlds are "leaking" into current continuity

Kamandi/The Great Disaster
Kingdom Come
Dark Knight Returns
and Legion

But when I pressed him at WW he would not commit to which legion. It may be both but definitely Pre-crisis legion after this week.

Cool, good job wndola1 asking the tough questions!

They wouldn't be leaking these guys in the JSA for nothing. They know how much they are teasing fans and how much we would rather have THIS legion. So JSA is the Legion book to buy?

In my opinion, yes. I'm surprised at how much I've enjoyed the new JSA.

Ugh. Why do I get the feeling that each of these "worlds" is going to end up being cheapened by the time all of this is done?

I want both just like I buy JSA and JLA. 2 flashes 2 GLs supergirl/powergirl, starboy and starman

You know I'm surprised no one mentioned the other Legion related character on that last page. True it wasn't as obvious, and I only noticed the second time I read the issue, but its there and I'm pretty sure I'm right about who it is...

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Lightning Lord (in his pre-crisis suit).... You can only see his chest, but its pretty clear.</span></span>

That aside this is pretty awesome... and I wonder what exactly does it mean. Alternate universes slipping into the main DC continutity thanks to all the Crises I get, but this is a future... so idk... oh well we'll see... all the same, its amazing!

oh wow !! great SPOILERS !!

can't wait to get this issue, tomorrow .......

Matthew.

thinbalion, his appearance was mentioned, by Tamper Lad, back on page 10.

Haha... wow... I'm probably the least observant person ever... which is really kinda funny considering... lol anyway...

Everyone is so exicted about the ending of JSA, did anyone read the latest Birds of Prey? Now I wasn't expecting that either...

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Ok, so if I have this right Dr. Destiny is making Nura's Nightmares reality. Which would explain the familiar faces attacking the prison guards (Mekt). I want speculation on the rest... could the crimson fellow with the mowhawk abd the harpoon gun for an arm be Tyr? </span></span>

Other JSA thoughts:
-- I thought Vandal Savage had lost his immortality yet here he talks about waiting a hundred years, etc. Anyone know how he regained it?
-- Interesting reveal about Damage's face, but what's with Sandman? Are we sure this is the same Sand from before or is it the new guy from the mini?
-- Speaking of Sandman, interesting exchange with Obsidian. Is there any way they're not talking about Jade? And Huntress on the team? A multiverse reference?
-- I'm still bothered by the fact that Damage has a biohazard symbol on his chest. I don't understand how it applies.
-- Fantastic art all around! (though the climax was a bit confusing at first with the cross-cutting between scenes. I feel he could've used some graphic device to show that we were going back and forth between different locations)
-- I like the idea of Power Girl as leader. It'll give her characterization added dimension.

wndola1: I think that's exactly right.

DrakeB3004: My first thought was Jade also, but someone on another board suggested they were talking about the trio of Robin (Earth-2), Huntress (Earth-2) and Kole (Teen Titans) who were killed in a dome of Kole's crystal in Crisis on Infinite Earths. And I think that makes a bit of sense.

Latest issue: awesome.

Love seeing Dreamy (hey spoilers are in the thread title )

Love Power Girl as the new leader.

Although the Nazi/Vandal Savage angle didn't do much for me, that's more a minior quibble than anything. The real meat of the story is the team and where we'll be heading from here and I'm beyond excited.

Not to mention we technically get three issues in April, lest i'm mistaking. JLA #7-8 and JSA #5... so that should be sweet indeed.

---

Oy, nevermind make that two, JLA#7 still needs to wrap up that title's first story line... its funny that both the JLA and JSA begin their second storylines at the same time and yet one has had twice as many issues published in the time (countin #0)...

I was thinking more like Time-bubble... would Obsidian remember Kole? I need to dig out some old crisis issues.

Ok and here is where I go off the deep end... This Starboy is very different from WaK Starboy and <span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Nura is dead in WaK (My husband went so far as to wonder if this is where WaK Nura disapeared to) So do you think Waid was forced into killing Nura? Is the present limited to characters with limited WaK crossover confusion?</span></span>

Hmm, all this Earth-2/Legion stuff. We know they exist in the same universe as the JLA. We've seen Jay in the Flash comic.

I think they just have their old memories. They know the universes combined and some of their old friends are dead, etc. They know Powergirl and Supergirl are the same person.

In Marvel this happens all the time and it isn't a big deal. We have Cable, Rachel Summers, etc running around. We had X-Man another version of Cable and both of them had a title at the same time. I like this approach for DC....but the Legion sure makes it interesting.

Ball of crystal could also refer to cover of the first JLA/JSA crossover where the other continuity is shown in Dr. Fate's crystal ball.

i just hope dr. destiny hasnt made it all up....

That would pis off a lot of people. And JSA sales are absolutely insane right now.

Dr. Destiny didn't make it all up, fairly certain of that. He may have made up all the badies on the upper part of that page, but Dream Girl, Star Boy, and Dawnstar are all very real and very much in the regular DCU timeline.

This is all part of a greater leak of such charaters, look at Saturn Queen over in Supergirl, or the Fatal Five over in the Brave and the Bold.

Heck my honest opinion is that thats all this is different verses leaking in the the main one, because of all the crises. And yeah an implication of this would be that the original Legion (i.e. pre 5YL and all that followed) was in a seperate universe... or maybe this is a Legion from a universe very similar to that. In any event my hunch is that they are probably from another verse that got destroyed in one of the crises. As to how the return of the multi-verse fits into this... no clue, and it may not even directly.

I think it's clear that the introduction of Wildstorm's Bleed into DCU continuity is going to be a big part of all this as well.

They were pretty clear at WW though that DC was not allowed to use the wildstorm characters for the foreseeable future

Great issue and another nice surprise at the end, but I wish the colorist had gotten Nura's hair color right!

Nura with yellowy-blonde hair is an ugly WaK invention and looks nowhere near as good as the platinum-blonde hair that this preboot Nura should've been sporting.

The colorist had better have gotten it right by the next issue or my enjoyment of this arc is going to be severely depleted.

(Why do minor coloring mistakes get me so riled up? I don't know - but they do!)
