The Legion & Clark: Best Friends Forever

[jlroberson.insanejournal.com]

From the the end of Geoff Johns and Gary Frank's Legion of Super-Heroes story, Action Comics #863. Regardless of my criticism of his writing, it's scenes like this, of convincing humanity and warmth, that make certain I always have time for him. It also follows Grant Morrison's insight that Superman's story is in a way, everyone's internal story. And the Legion are "the Friends That Understood You When Others Didn't." It's not that easy to wrote moments like this that are sentimental, but genuinely so. This scene might not so so much tell you about Clark, and his friends and his childhood, but about you. And yours. And what we miss when we grow older.

See I actually like the Connor is the Superboy who goes into the future theme. It sorted out the mess of Legion history that has been dragging the book down since crisis in Infinite earths.

Also did Valor ever exist now ?

Well, enjoy that. But in my mind it's this. I really never read anything with Conner and don't really care about him.
