Also in the July soliciations was another Legion tidbit that may have been overlooked. In the final issue of JLA: The Nail, the Legion is scheduled to make an appearance. And at least 3 of them appear on the cover. To see the cover and the synopsis, visit the Official DC Comics site . Or visit my site, linked in my signature.

And I thought I was excited with last month's solicit featuring Black Orchid in her good ol' 70's (60's?) costume!
I can't *wait* for this miniseries! I really enjoyed the first one... and this series sounds even better.
Wonder Woman and the Legion of Super Heroes... cool!

Could life be much more perfect?

Judging from Ultra Boy's costume, it looks to me like we might be seeing the return of "Superboy's Legion." Or maybe Davis & Farmer just like those costumes, since "The Nail" and "Superboy's Legion" are from seperate timelines. Or maybe those temporal whatevers are really messing things up.

I see Tinya just over J'onn's brow. Dark hair, white costume, and a touchstone around her neck... it's gotta be Tinya.
Seems like the trio that hung together in Superboy's Legion is still hanging around together in The 2nd Nail.
Gotta admit... The original "The Nail" and "Superboy's Legion" are two of my all-time favorite comics. With The Legion appearing in The 2nd Nail, I will now be buying this series when it first comes out, instead of waiting for it to be collected into a TPB.

There is no mention of the Legion in the solicitations for the first two issues. Doesn't mean they won't appear. If they do, I would guess it would be near the end of the second issue.

With the red earrings and blue sleeves, I was thinking Zatanna in her cape days, but I don't have "Superboy's Legion" handy to see how they colored Tinya. I agree, though, that "Superboy's Legion" was awesome, and it'll be great if he's revisiting the characters. Maybe they'll get a second mini next. (Need a fingers-crossed smiley)

I did a little digging and come up with this... ...for a Superboy's Legion Tinya comparison. If I had to bet, I would bet that that was Tinya on the cover of Another Nail (above J'onn's brow). I'm not familiar enough with the incarnations of Zatanna to say that that is not her without any doubts though. Looking at them together like this, you may be right about the Zatanna thing. I'd give it a 50/50 chance.

Hmm. Has Zatanna ever wore a white cape though? I thought her's was blue. I'm with the surfer in that I don't know enough of her history to be able to spot her unless I could see the fishnets. And looking at the picture up close in PaintShop I can see the blue sleeves better (which I had totally missed before) as well as the red earring.
Guess I just saw the long dark hair, white cape and red gem and immediately thought of Tinya.

Got this picture of the Perez-era Zatanna bust from DC Direct off google:

Didn anyone buy the first issue? It's already got a Legion reference -- Validus as a member of the Green Lantern Corps!

Another stop to add to my list for when I get out of work later today. Pulling a 16 hour shift so I can only hope I'm coherent enough when I get out of here to remember to pick up my books.

Wasn't Validus shown as a Green Lantern in another context?
Is this getting to be a running gag or something?

And really, when one thinks about it, how much will power can a rampaging giant with the mind of an infant have.....?

If one thinks of will power as being stubborn... Then I can see Validus having tremendous will power. Let me tell you a story... When I was in my early twenties I was watching my three year old nephew. I had to feed him dinner, and part of dinner was french fries. I fed the kid a fry and told him to chew and swallow it. This really became a battle of wills, for he refused to swallow. I told him he wasn't leaving the table until he ate his food. My nephew is now 15 years old and he is still sitting at the table with that fry in his mouth. Actually, he had that fry in his mouth for a half hour and never did swallow it. I let him up, I'm not entirely heartless, but the point is you'd be surprised at how much will power the simple mind actually has (if you define will power as stubborn). Validus as Green Lantern doesn't work for me on a different level though. Validus doesn't have the imagination to wield the emerald energy. His answer to everything would be green lightning from his ring instead of mental lightning from his brain. Or maybe in a twist, he'd do both at the same time.
