Legion of Superheroes #10 - But they did not shoot the Deputy (leader)

[perletwo]

- not yet, anyway.





So, Cosmic Boy finally gets in touch with the new Legion leader to let him know he's been elected, and to get his kiester back to HQ before their new Deputy leader gets any ideas. Which of course, is what Brainiac 5 does, and he's the best there is at it.



Brainy takes charge with Cham at his back, both prepared to act on Brainy's epiphany on Durla last issue in re the Durlan terrorists: Follow The Money. Cham, Cham-Girl and Phantom Girl go on an Espionage Squad mission to break in to R.J. Brande's estate and check on his financial legacy.





So who's behind it all, and why?



Yep, the whole international intrigue deal boils down to an ugly family squabble over the old rich guy's will. :P Epic battle ensues, with Gates, Timberwolf and Tyroc zapping in to help, and the gang has to restrain Cham from going medieval on Auntie Mama.



Oh, and in other news, Dawny's finally out of that healing coma and ready to zip off into action - and stiff Dr. G'ym'll on his fee. :D About 3 and 2/3 pages from the current issue.

So do we know who the new leader actually is?

[perletwo]

Yep, it's Green Mon-El Lantern. he was elected after quitting the Legion in a snit over Shady and Earth-Man, and taking off with the Dyogene to do Lantern business, whatever that is.

I was going to link to the election results when I composed this, but we don't seem to have posted it.

=(

I voted for Gates.

[icon_uk]

His reign as leader would certainly have been... different! :D

[jaybee3]

Me too. Just to see how Levtiz would play that out!

[schala_kid]

Every time I see Mon-El I want to yell at him to get his ass back to the 21st century and to Billy Harper because she's having his baby D:

[red_menace]

I'm torn between that, and praying that we never see them again. After all, if they never appear, they can't be killed off for shock value.

Ughh.. don't remind me of all the crap stuffed back into the toybox after New Krypton ended....such a waste

[cainofdreaming]

Ah Durlans. Why everyone haven't gone Alderaan on their home planet never fails to amaze me.

[perletwo]

At this point everyone is damn tempted, including some of your rank-and-file Durlans apparently. Yera's all diva-moan about three acting gigs lost to anti-Durlan prejudice/fear, as if the general xenophobia Earth-Man whipped up so very recently wasn't bad enough.

I'm liking this, especially the art. This artist draws a good Brainy, something I appreciate!

[kamino_neko]

Too bad nobody gave them a reference sheet for Gym'll, though.

(3 arms, dammit! Not 4! And the third isn't tucked under one of the front 2! He's not a Motie!)

[perletwo]

Yeah, Cinar's not perfect. But after looking at the Legion Annual, I'd say he's trying harder to be faithful to the classic Giffen/Mahlstedt worldbuilding of the 80s than Giffen is!

[tohofuhai]

Is Brainy trying to pull off a Caruso in the last scan?

[perletwo]

YESSSSSSS it wasn't just me! I almost made the joke when I wrote up the post, but I was afraid it was too much of a stretch!
