TOS'ing repost: Package Delivery from the 30th Century!

[perletwo]

jelly_ace asked for a reprise of Package Week. I had been thinking about that ever since we saw those peen-tastic Cry For Justice pages the other week, and offered to repost my original Package Week entry, since I've still got it all in my photobucket - and it turns out, the text in my inbox full of old replies. :D



I know I'm late to the party, but I couldn't let Package Week go by without some Legionnaires. This is by no means comprehensive, but it's what I could get on a quick pass through my collection. None are my scans, BTW.

Let's start with a Colossal Package:



You can't tell me Perez didn't draw this panel in Crisis on Infinite Earths just to go with those lines.

It's hard for Cosmic Boy, with his ink-black costume, to show a package, but artist Ernie Colon found a way:



Not only does Element Lad have a package, occasionally it talks:



Lightning Lad's packing some heat in this Jim Sherman panel - not surprising, given what Imra's wearing:



Brainiac 5 also appears to be packing here in this panel. Giffen/Mahlstedt, I think.



The curious thing is, that's Colossal Boy's mom's rear he's looking at!


Tagapalooza!

I so miss the old costumes.

[tacobob]

These costumes make my eyes sad.

[zordboy]

Icon win, there.

[tacobob]

I just hope I don't live long enough to be in that future. Running around in a jump suit or pink leotards. I just don't have the legs for that!

[grazzt]

They must use their advanced 31st century science to give everyone the legs for it. I mean, even Brainy is ripped.

[tacobob]

Oooh! Future legs!

[cleome45]

Marte has something stuck to the back of her gown, and Brainy's too polite to say anything.

Even Utopia can't face down lint and/or static cling, I guess.

[perletwo]

... I'm sorry. You used the words "Brainy" and "polite" in the same sentence. does - not - compute - &*K&$*(*)+%^%@

[cleome45]

You look at this take in comparison to the long-haired post-Crisis meltdown version, not to mention [cough] Threeboot Brainy, and this one's an absolute prince in comparison.

Besides, you don't risk offending the President. She'll throw your butt in jail just to prove she doesn't believe in nepotism or over something trivial like almost starting an interstellar war [cough].

[jelly_ace]

Oh, my. So where do I sign for these lovely lovely packages?

Cosmic Boy's one is kinda mesmerizing...

[tavella]

Man, if we are doing Package Week, someone needs to resurrect the Captain America package post, that was a classic.

[perletwo]

Mmmmm, yes please. And the one with the Alex Ross cover painting of Steel, the one with the shiny!peen? (somebody somewhere made a great animated icon with the shiny!peen waving around. I'd love to see that again.)

[salamangkiero]

Packages....for the more vulgar, sarcastic panels, I guess anyhting in Marshal Law qualifies, hahahaha.

[thebigapricot]

Franks and Beans! Franks and Beans!

I fully support package week.

ITS SPEEDY DELIVERY GUY! AND HAS HE GOT A PACKAGE

Man, I do not envy the bad guys who had to see those batches up close. I can just imagine Persuader sitting in a bad guy bar and getting the memory of those things in his head.

Persuader: Alright people, here's the layout for the Galactic Senate building. Now the first thing we gotta do is....

Cosmic boy (In Persuader's head): Feels like I'm wearing nothing at all....nothing at all....nothing at all....

Persuader: GAAAAAHHH STUPID SEXY MALE LEGIONNAIRES!

*Cue awkward stares all around.*
