Sorry I'm so late with this gang, had minor surgery this week that's slowed me down. However, here's 4 pages from LOSH #20, "Vanishing World," the latest installment of the Fatal Five saga.

( It's a wise child who knows the way home. )

The plan, it seems to me, is not exactly coming together. Yet.

Tag notes: Mods, I accidentally clicked creator: francis manapul as well as actual artist Francis Portela's tag, can you delete? Also, I could've sworn we had a White Witch tag already?

Current Mood: groggy
Current Location: not Xerox, thank the gems
Current Music: Jackson Browne, "Runnin' on Empty"

Four pages from Legion #19, out today. Except for a brief check-in with the crash-landed team, almost the entire issue is Mon-El going toe-to-toe with the Emerald Empress on Weber's World.

( Pretty green death! )
Mods, there's no tag yet for the second artist on this ish, Jeff Johnson, can we get one or are we totally maxed out now? He did about half the ish (as you see from the credits on the first posted page) and I hate to just ignore him.

Current Mood: contemplative
Current Location: not Weber's World, thank god
Current Music: Kermit, "It's Not Easy Being Green"

And this was honestly the only exciting thing that happened this issue.

Well, there's also Little Desaad being all cute and adorable hugging his purple cat, but that's covered in another story.

Anyway....

( 4 scans + Desaad's origin behind cut. )

Back 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?

Current Mood: geeky
Current Location: not the 31st century, thank God
Current Music: REM, "It's the End of the World As We Know It"

Hi 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?

Current Mood: optimistic
Current Location: Not BEON, thank god
Current Music: Dave Matthews, "When the World Ends"

aeka

And by Huntress, I mean the Huntress identity not the woman behind the mask. We already know the story of the woman behind the mask. Mostly.

( 3.5 scans behind cut )

3 pages from LOSH #16, a filler issue in which we hang out, elect a new Legion leader, and move the last pieces into place for the return of the Fatal Five.

But I won't keep you in suspense about the ~~popularity contest~~ leadership election!

( and the red scrunchie goes to... )
Next issue: Things Fall Apart.

Current Mood: amused
Current Location: not an intertron prison, thank god
Current Music: Styx, 'Wanted Man'

aeka

I initially had reservations about this issue given how poorly executed this series has been under Levitz, but this one actually genuinely surprised me with solid characterisation and a compelling storyline.

( So why do we fall, Bruce? Errrr...ummm...Helena? )

perletwo

...almost none of which will I be showing you, in order to keep to the new-issue posting limits. 4 pages.

( ...it's time for you to diiiieeee.... )
NEXT: VALIDUS!

Current Mood: cheerful
Current Location: not Spain, thank god
Current Music: Hole, "Gold Dust Woman"

Things are still building slowly in this weeks LOSH #14, but they are building. Four pages.

( You start the fire - I'll provide plenty of fuel. )

Love that teaser for next ish, because "Witch in a Time Storm" means either Glorith or Mysa will be turning up. Either would be dandy by me!

Current Mood: contemplative
Current Location: not Comet Queen's brain, thank God
Current Music: Matchbox 20, "Straight Up"

( Damian Wayne takes on Earth-2's Helena Wayne )

Interestingly, while Legion Lost is firing on almost all thrusters in the current issue, LOSH #13 is idling in low gear for a bit. It's a bridge issue between the Dominators mess of the past several issues and the next big thing, whatever it may be. Meanwhile, we get to see the Legionnaires going about their workaday business, some of which actually does involve mining. I bring you 4 pages of checking in with the troops.

( Why are we doing this, exactly? )

So there you go. Remember, kids, Legion elections coming up, cast your vote for leader by Nov. 16!

ETA: We've maxed out on tags already, really? I gotta whole slew of newbie Legionnaires to tag here!

Current Mood: content
Current Location: not an asteroid mine, thank god
Current Music: Devo, "Workin' In a Coal Mine"

( More Helena and Damian! )

aeka

So y'all remember how Paul Levitz originally fridged Selina Wayne to give her daughter Helena a reason to become the Huntress in 1977?

( If not, no worries, I can quickly remind you. )

But now the question is, how did he update her origin for the year 2012?

( Well....Let's just say icon says all.... )

Trigger Warning for Gore

It's that time of year again folks. That time of year where yours truly is yet another year older but still perpetually young as always. Aside from the fact that I have the best birthday ever (off on Labour Day, got paid this past Friday, new Doctor Who this past Saturday, new Worlds' Finest later this week with BatCat goodness, what more could I ask for?), to celebrate I'll share with you one of my *very* favourite pre-Crisis stories featuring another fellow Virgo and one that's very dear to me of course.

I give you pre-Crisis Huntress and Power Girl in all their femslashy glory on their native world of Earth-2, kicking ass and taking names. ^_^
