SUPERMAN#8 has a page of the entire Legion assembly, this is based on a splash page of the group entry in WHO'S WHO: THE HISTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE, with one difference: The original drawing had both Sensor Girl and Queen Projectra. By the time SUPERMAN#8 came out, it was revealed Sensor Girl is actually Projectra! (Originally, she was planned to be Supergirl, somehow surviving her death in CRISIS but with most her powers gone, but TPTB rejected that revelation).angmc43@hotmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15379700547226493861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105844689832543332.post-82306156982898427032018-05-16T09:34:44.517-07:002018-05-16T09:34:44.517-07:00He maybe should have have created a story about th...He maybe should have have created a story about the Legion of Superheroes on the Blue Area of the Moon to get over it.Teemunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105844689832543332.post-3478061468180033522018-05-15T02:33:28.527-07:002018-05-15T02:33:28.527-07:00Blok had his distinguishing features blown off in

I was already a bit of a Legion fan thanks to The Great Darkness Saga, and was happy to see them getting the Byrne treatment (even if I didn't get why Blok was missing a nose).<br /><br />I used to be much more focused on picking up the Superman comics as they came out than I was with the Action issues, so I went months before getting around to tracking down the conclusion of this Legion two-parter. Look forward to the review that'll refresh my memory as to how it all turns out.<br /><br />And I believe that heat vision is a sub-plot that pays off in a couple of issues in one of my most fondly-remembered stories of the run.<br /><br />-david p.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105844689832543332.post-35541126565883524572018-05-14T12:58:35.668-07:002018-05-14T12:58:35.668-07:00Interesting to know.

That written, having a similar school experience as Byrne, I do sympathize.<br />The second issue brings me back to my fanfictions. If your Cartoon Network/Toonami experiences also included DRAGON BALL Z, then I will admit writing a fic called SAIYA-MAN AND THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES, incorporating the Legion future into the DBZ world, with Son Gohan in the Superboy role (this continuity, which I fitted in the 10-year time-skip between the Buu arc and the End of Z Tournament, has now been rendered out-of-continuity by the new DB SUPER series). And there is also my DBZ/New Mutants (Magneto tenure) X-over...angmc43@hotmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15379700547226493861noreply@blogger.com
