Planetary? I think that series was referenced in the news story about the release. Definitely a Wildstorm series.

How about "Art Official Annfie," who cranks out the fan art at a steady pace, instead of dribs and drabs several months apart?

Not quite the quote that the upcoming launches of Faux Fickles, Holo Hebistand and Artificial Annfie were looking for. But I'm sure one of those can just come up with quotes of their own.

Not to sound overly negative, but I think the vast majority of 70s Legion stories are just not good reading -- even the first two Cockrum stories (Superboy 184 and 188) have eye-rollingly dumb scripts (Tenzil "eating" a death ray!) Of course, everyone has the right to make up their own mind, but I'm just trying to look at it from the point of view of potential new readers. I still think DC missed the boat by not starting with Cockrum's third story (Superboy 190.) That one has Tharok and Validus, loads of action, and Imra shining.

What I don't understand is why they wouldn't start out with Cockrum's first story, instead of preceding it with a big bunch of the stories leading up to it. They're not well drawn at all, and this could cause a lot of potential readers to pass on the trade.

DC's new softcover bookstore line DC Finest will debut at the end of the year, and the classic Legion are set to be a part of it:

A major new line of DC collected editions begins with the earliest stories starring the Legion of Super-Heroes! DC Finest: The Legion of Super-Heroes collects all the tales that make the it the perfect fit for any fan or new reader!

DC Finest is intended to be "affordably priced" (at 500 pages for $40) so maybe this could be an opportunity to get collections of old Legion stories into people's hands without burning half a paycheck.

One day our personal AIs will flag people we see based on their personality. It will steer us through interactions, by warning us about topics they are likely to bring up, and how to avoid it happening.

during the battle versus Mordru, which character breaches Mordru's and the Emerald Eye's mystical barrier?

Not:

Blast-Off
Atom'x (died before the battle)
Radion
Star Boy
Kinetix
Spark (she wasn't there, but was stuck in the 20th century)
XS
Karate Kid (was not there)
Mysa

Re: Sun Boy's Hot Date! Invisible Brainiac Yesterday at 05:35 PM
yay, more!

nice seeing (some of) the Cavalry again. pluberries, a nice touch!

a new invention from Evolvo Lad, amazing! this is gonna "level up" your team for sure! does it only work point-to-point? that is, they can only teleport to another porting unit? seems so, but still very useful!

Loving the solution - really love the idea of superheroes doing more humanitarian work!

ooh, sad fate for Iceland, but oh well. I can see the human race letting poor Iceland get to such a state

I love how Sizzle is both self-aware, and not really caring at how "raw" she is! Love it, love it!

also love how you've woven in Sizzle's world's beliefs, and her own journey, and her own self-awareness of that journey!

and indeed, how different she is from most of Dirk's dates... hah!

oh and Derek Morgna, interested to see where you take this!

ah and here we go right away! Sun Killer! did he appear in the comics?

ooh yeah, thanks for realistically portraying trauma. Poor Laurel... but good of her to be professional and focused enough to use her noodle in this situation!

good old Sizzle for talking sense into Dirk! (props to Vi for trying too)

oooph at Derek's thoughts about Dirk. bit of overbearing dad there, though also, not entirely unfair considering Dirk's playboy image


loving T-Lad's powers!! really useful for hostage situations!

nice save by Sizzle! although yikes...

nice pep talk by Vi - mix of tough love and encouragement! and good on Laurel for working through it!



the Emerald Emperor! wow!

nice installment, raz, some awesome developments too!

It is not the Suicide Squad. This group were originally part of another label, but vegans well after Crisis.
