Legion of Super-Heroes #18 - Home's End
Mar. 20th, 2013 04:23 pmperletwoBack again with four pages from the hot off the press Legion of Super-Heroes #18, part 2 of the return of the Fatal Five. You'll recall that last issue in part 1, things fell apart rather spectacularly. We spent all our time with two teams of Legionnaires last issue; this time we check in with the rest, and things aren't looking any better on the home front.
( There's nothing we can do! )
So that's four out of five accounted for: Tharok, Persuader, Validus and the one in the next ish teaser. Will it be faithful old Mano, or someone new in the fifth slot?

perletwoHi ho Legion fans, 4 pages from LOSH #17 here. Remember the last page of last ish, how a complex quark relay station quietly goes about its business...until suddenly it doesn't? Well, as David said in Prometheus, big things have small beginnings, and so to this ish's title, "The Beginning of the End"!
( Total system failure... )
NEXT ISSUE tagline: It Gets Worse. Whooboy.
Incidentally, anybody heard any word on where/when the Legion Lost crew is likely to fetch up next?

Kickin' it with the 'Fleeze
Jan. 17th, 2013 12:59 pmarbre_rieur
Keith Giffen's new DC outer space series, Threshold, launched this week. Each issue will feature two ongoing stories: One is "The Hunted," a RUNNING MAN/HUNGER GAMES sort of deal set in Lady Styx's territory. The other is "Larfleeze."
( Nine Tenths of the Law )
superboyprimeHere are four pages from Green Lantern: New Guardians Annual #1. A one-shot penned by Keith Giffen, this comic returns the writer to superheroic space opera and one of his favorite words.

perletwoOK, so the work on this primer kind of got away from me, mea culpa. But I now have it complete up to the current "The Culling" crossover arc.
In Part 1, we saw how Yera was duped into impersonating Shrinking Violet for months on end, during which time "Vi" secretly married Colossal Boy. Yera was exposed, Vi was rescued, Gim and Yera decided to stay married, and all was on track for them all to live happily ever after.
But first, they gotta tell Gim's parents...
( in a story called 'Guess What's Coming to Dinner?' No, really. )
And you can tune in to Legion Lost for more Chameleon Girl, now that The Culling is wrapping up!

Chameleon Girl Primer part 1: Is it you, baby, or just a brilliant disguise?
Apr. 22nd, 2012 06:52 amperletwoHello s_d! As promised back in my last Legion Lost post, here is a Chameleon Girl retrospective. Because this is gonna be too huge, I'm breaking it into two parts: pre- and post-Conspiracy. Second part will go up tomorrow if my computer cooperates. Images from Legion of Super-Heroes 288-305 in this part.
In this part we ask the eternal question, When is a Shrinking Violet not a Shrinking Violet? Is it when she suddenly starts entertaining advances from the guy who's had a crush on her forever? Or is it when she gets called out on same by her boyfriend of record?
Or is the answer...something far more sinister? dun dun DUNNNNN
( pace Vic Sage, 'Obvious, in hindsight' )
So ends part 1 of our tale. I don't think it's much of an exaggeration to say this plot was the most interesting thing to happen to Shrinking Violet and/or Colossal Boy in years. Plus, it falls during my personal pick for Keith Giffen/Larry Mahlstedt art at the top of its game.
Next up, pretty much all of Yera's post-conspiracy appearances.

perletwoWelcome, s_d, to the tale of a sweet, modest little romance that bloomed in the background of the Big Universe Saving plots of the 1980s Legion of Super-Heroes. It's the story of a new-agey crystal girl and her mineral balance.
Blok and the White Witch.
( We all change. That's what gives us life. )
So now they're both on inactive status. But maybe someday they'll rejoin the Legion, and be cute and lighthearted again. Hope springs eternal, right?

The Last Bwahaha
Aug. 26th, 2011 02:01 amarbre_rieur
This week's RETRO-ACTIVE: JUSTICE LEAGUE is the 90s issue. Keith Giffen, J.M. DeMatteis, and Kevin Maguire all reunite for one last tale of Justice League International. And it really will be their very last one; Giffen and DeMatteis have mentioned in interview that even if they're offered a chance to do another in the future, they'll turn it down. They feel that they've said all they want to say with these characters.
( One last time )
On a completely unrelated note, I'm vacationing in China these days, where apparently you can't access imageshack pictures or their website. Can anyone recommend some way to get around this that an idiot layman like myself would be able to implement?
icon_ukOne of my favourite characters used to be accompanied by a flying 2 foot diameter eyeball.
Riiiiiiip!
Oh look, we have a guest!
"Who am I talking about?" you ask, well, gather round sd'ers and I shall elucidate...
( Eye shall try to avoid any eye puns... Oops )

DOOM PATROL 22, the final issue of the series, came out this month. I'm sad to see it go.
Mister Somebody Enterprises has acquired Oolong Island by possessing its president, Veronica Cale. Not too happy about that, the Doom Patrol decide to invade the island...
