The Legion of Super-Heroes in the 31st Century #14

A distress call from a stranded United Planets’ ship pits the Legion against a gang of rogue Thanagarian pirates – and they’re not exactly carrying on Hawkman’s heroic legacy!

I might pick this up, especially with the lack of Phantom Girl moments since after "Cry Wolf". PhantomGirl

One has to ask, how do "rogue Thanagarian pirates" differ from regular Thanagarian pirates? wink

Non-rogue pirates are called "privateers".

Bart dashed off in a hurry.
Within seconds he was back. Not that early, I guess.

You'll hate her hair even more if you pick up the book... they don't both to tri-color her hair when she is conjoined... it's inked to be all white.

I loved this book. I just had one question, though . . . where does this fit into the continuity? It looks like it falls between seasons 1 and 2, but if that's the case, why is Superman there? If it's before the end of the first season, why are they wearing the season 2 outfits? Can you explain it, cause I can't. hmmm

Probably the same explanation for why Element Lad's outfit matches neither season 1 NOR season 2, nor does it even do a very good job of approximating his look in previous appearances in teh comic. (in which his uniform was has always been white...apparently, they don't want a pink uniform in the comic.)


I guess a rationalizing writer/artist could say, "well, they change their outfits more than is apparent from the toon"). Or somesuch.

Nevertheless ...

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">I was quite ecstatic to finally see a spotlight on Element Lad! And, the spotlight on Tinya was intact, so two for one! The only downside was, in fact, his costume snafu.</span></span>

I was glad to see E-Lad get some substantive lines!

Funny, that in both retellings we've seen of his origin, he's a minor player. What's up with that?

E-Lad's ADVENTURE origin is still the best. I guess that one would now be considered too bloody for kids, so an environmental collapse is a fair substitute.

Makes the people of Trom seem different, though.

I like scenes with Tinya and her mother here- unlike in other versions.

Just got it. I enjoyed this PG spotlight but it just underlined how much I miss her and her fellow Legionnaires on the TV screen. Jan's costume isn't bad, but I wasn't fond of "Roxxas" being demoted to a white collar corporate baddie, or the destruction of Trom being caused by natural disasters. I was a wee lass when the first Trom was destroyed by genocidal space pirates. I didn't scar me for life (or did it?)

The art made the characters look younger than in previous issues but it was nicely done.

Gawds, I miss these guys. Saturday mornings aren't the same without them.
