A Legionnaire Falls

On the planet Orando, the Legion of Super-Villains has made its new headquarters, easily taking over the medieval world and downing the cruiser of Queen Projectra and Karate Kid upon their return to their homeworld.  The so far silent leader of the Legion of Super-Villain twists the Legion flight ring and says something rather cryptic.

“Then let me twist their alarm signal, as I once did as a Legionnaire—and let them come running to their doom.” – Unknown Leader of the LSV…

The Legion fresh from their detour keeping Mordru under wraps leaves the Sorcerer’s World of Xerox and follows the signal only to land in the midst of one of Zymyr’s teleportation warps, only Dawnstar is swift enough to evade the trap as it sucks Ultra Boy, Mon-El, Wildfire, and the Legion Cruiser containing Shadow Lass, Phantom Girl, Timber Wolf, Chameleon Boy, and White Witch.

On Earth, Element Lad rallies the remaining Legionnaires on Earth to the rescue leaving Cosmic Boy on duty on Earth and Invisible Kid II who is mysteriously missing at this point along with his back from the dead counterpart Lyle Norg.

In the dungeons of the Castle Royal of Orando, Light Lass awakens to see Karate Kid and Projectra imprisoned in machines. More >

As we open part two of the Legion of Super-Heroes vs. the Legion of Super-Villains, we see that Light Lass has been placed as a prisoner in a dungeon of some sorts with power dampeners on her arms.  Her older brother Lightning Lord comes to pay her a little visit in hopes of recruiting her to the cause of the LSV.  It appears that Lightning Lord has gone completely insane as he now says that storms are speaking to him.  Light Lass refuses the offer, but Lightning Lord swears that he will obey him or die.

Some of the members of the Legion of Super-Villains starting upper-left corner and moving clockwise:  (Spider Girl, Ol-Vir, Micro Lad, Cosmic King, Mist Master, Lazon, Sun Emperor, Radiation Roy, Terrus, Lightning Lord, Silver Slasher, and Terrus).

On M-17W, Lazon, Titania, and Magno Lad are stealing fusion powerspheres for a project that the LSV has planned when they are interrupted by Wildfire and Dawnstar.  While the heroes get the villains on the run for a little bit, they are then overpowered when Dawnstar is attacked by Lazon and Wildfire’s suit is compromised when he is distracted.

The Legion gathers its intel and comes to the conclusion that there is More >

The Villains Are Coming…

As the Legion began its Baxter run, the regular Legion run became Tales of the Legion of Super-Heroes while the new title became the first Legion of Super-Heroes #1 ever.

 

The problem with reviewing these issues is that in continuity they came out concurrently, meaning the events happening in LSH #1 were happening roughly at the same time as the events in Tales of the LSH #314… hence the dilemma of how to simplify this for the novice reader.  So, lets finish up some old business in Tales of the Legion of Super-Heroes before tackling the major arc of Legion of Super-Heroes #1-5.

As we open the Tales of the Legion of Super-Heroes we discover Sun Boy, Brainiac Five, and Supergirl on hand as witnesses for the Trial of Ontirr, the traitorous Science Police officer who collaborated with the Emerald Empress back in LSH #302-303.  It turns out that Ontirr is a member of the villainous Dark Circle, the group of shadowy anarchists threatening to undermine the United Planets.

While the Legion is busy putting Ontirr and a whole bunch of Dark Circle clones in their places… (and pay attention because that is going to come back to haunt us in a bit…)  We get the White Witch’s origin story in a back-up piece More >

Top Row:  Supergirl, Invisible Kid II, Colossal Boy, Dawnstar, and Superboy Second Row:  Sun Boy, White Witch, Karate Kid, Projectra, and Timber Wolf Third Row:  Phantom Girl, Shrinking Violet, Blok, Star Boy, Dream Girl, and Brainiac Five Fourth Row:  Ultra Boy, Wildfire, Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, Lightning Lad, Mon-El, Element Lad, and Chameleon Boy Fifth Row:  Proty, Shadow Lass, Duo Damsel, and Bouncing Boy

In the Legion of Super-Heroes #300, the Legion is assembling for its re-dedication ceremony.  This ceremony takes place every so often, but this is the most elaborate one we have seen on panel.  As additional Legionnaires arrive to the headquarters we see Element Lad, Ultra Boy, and Phantom Girl welcoming Superboy and then his cousin Supergirl to the party.  Supergirl inquires where Brainiac Five is, and Invisible Kid II (along with the dyed energies of a pouting Wildfire) show up and Jacques asks the same question and that leads us into the meat of the story.

Brainiac Five, Circadius Senius, and Rond Vidar are working on a patient at the Time Institute, it is an odd thing to have a medical patient here, but odd is what Brainiac Five specializes in.  Apparently this patient has accessed some ability to transfer his More >

Once the Legion managed to force the dread lord Darkseid, it was time for the story to take a beat and for most of the Legionnaires to take a little rest and relaxation.

The first story concerns the imminent break up of Light Lass and Timber Wolf, in which Legionnaire Blok insists that Timber Wolf sit with him and watch an old hologram tape of the Legion’s first encounter with the Green Lantern Corps.

In this story, “The Origin of the Universe” file we discover a little precursor of a big story to be happening later in the DCU.  We visit the early Legion with Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, Lightning Lad, Triplicate Girl, and Colossal Boy as tehy come upon the Time Institute which is on fire.

Circadia Senius, the chief scientist at the Time Institute explains it all,

“Our time viewer was ready for the ULTIMATE K-K-KLIK— TEST… TURNED TO K-K-CALL up the BEGINNING OF THE UNIVERSE ITSELF.  We saw it– a massive hand, K-K-CRADLING our galaxy– And so we went back FURTHER— and K-K-KLIK, then it HAPPENED.  A BOLT–K-K-KLIK LIKE LIGHTNING FROM NOWHERE– SHATTERING OUR WORK!  K-K-KLIK—AS THOUGH WE WERE NOT PERMITTED TO SEE MORE!”

And that, Ladies and Gentlemen is the origin of the More >

The final chapter of the Great Darkness Saga starts with the Legion recovering from the last battle from the Servants of Darkness, and Brainiac Five concludes who they are facing, the dread lord Darkseid.  At this news, Dream Girl sounds the general alert summoning the Legion of Substitute Heroes and even Supergirl from the 20th Century.

Out in space near Weber’s World the Heroes of Lallor pick up the Kryptonian Dev-Em and join the Wanderers and the Substitute Heroes at Weber’s World to attempt to stop the brainwashed Daxamites who are now attacking every one they come across.

On Takron-Galtos, Chameleon Boy finds himself hunted by an insane Daxamite child named Ol-Vir.  Ol-Vir sweeps the area for Chameleon Boy using X-Ray vision but appears to have no control over his powers.  Chameleon Boy manages to borrow a trick from Karate Kid and hurls Ol-Vir into the cell holding Fatal Five member, Validus.  Afterwards, Chameleon Boy passes out from the exertion.

A Servant of Darkness in an effort to gain access to the child that was created in the third part of the saga, destroys the spaceship carrying Light Lass, Dream Girl, Sun Boy, Invisible Kid II, Blok, Mon-El, and White Witch. While the Legionnaires are unconscious More >

Sun Boy, Brainiac Five, and Blok fight the Servants of Darkness while Dream Girl holds a newborn baby?

When we last left the Legion they were scattered to four different worlds.

  • Takron-Galtos – The United Planet’s Prison Planet – Phantom Girl, Ultra Boy, Mon-El, and Shadow Lass
  • Avalon – Where Mordru was imprisoned – Brainiac Five, Star Boy, Element Lad, Timber Wolf, Wildfire, and Dawnstar
  • Naltor – Where the LSH stopped the Servants of Darkness from kidnapping Dream Girl’s sister, the White Witch – Sun Boy, Light Lass, Dream Girl, Blok, and Invisible Kid II
  • Earth – Cosmic Boy and Saturn Girl were attacked by the captured servant but saved from Lightning Lad when he snapped out of his electrical brain fever.

As the Legionnaires on Takron-Galtos leave that world, they miss the shuttle just arriving carrying the now convicted Chameleon Boy who is serving out a sentence for treason.

At the Sorcerer’s World, also known as Xerox, Dream Girl and Element Lad’s teams meet up and Dream Girl officially begins her leadership tenure.  The Legion descends down through mystic illusions until they get to real land and meet the Teachers of the Sorcerer’s World.

As Ultra Boy’s team arrives the ship they are in blows apart as one of the More >

Darkness Rising

In the DCU there are the arch enemies like Lex Luthor, Joker, and Cheetah, mostly these are dark reflections of the heroes that they find conflict with often, however, then there are those baddies who supersede any specific hero/villain relationship and those villains find themselves in conflict with not only heroes but the universe at large.  These villains are usually well equipped, long term strategists, and possess overwhelming amounts of power.

It is in this backdrop that we begin to discuss The Great Darkness Saga in the Legion of Super-Heroes.

When last we left our discussion of the Legion, the Legionnaires had been held prisoner in their own headquarters by the villainous C.O.M.P.U.T.O. and in their midst they had elected a new Legionnaire as Jacques Foccart joined the Legion as the second Invisible Kid.  Prior to that, Legionnaires Mon-El and Shadow Lass had been called to investigate a planet that had just appeared in United Planets space and no probe had successfully returned from investigating the planet.   Mon-El and Shady found out why when they landed and the planet’s defense systems nearly killed them both and it is that “Prologue to Darkness” that serves as the prelude to The Great Darkness Saga.

Legion: A New Legionnaire Comes Forth

When last we left our heroes they were in various death traps that had been concocted by their old foe C.O.M.P.U.T.O. so let us continue to see if the Legion can survive the rest of the book…

Page 15. C.O.M.P.U.T.O. is gloating to Brainiac Five by showing him and Jacques Foccart the fates that the other Legionnaires are succumbing to in their own headquarters. Jacques believes that their enemy is bluffing but Brainiac Five informs Jacques that C.O.M.P.U.T.O. cannot bluff and in fact is fairly close to suffocating the two of them as well as the unconscious Dream Girl and paralyzed Mon-El. Meanwhile, Danielle Foccart who is possessed by the vile computer foe is grinning maliciously.

Page 16. A comical moment as Blok has landed on the floor underneath the pool he attempted to dive into and fell directly through it. As Timber Wolf preps his dive he is strangled and lifted off the ground by a pair of roman rings while a gymnastics horse is propelled into Blok. The Science Police have located the vacationing Wildfire and Dawnstar to alert them to the problem. The Legion cliche of an interrupted vacation lives on.

Page 17. A moment of exposition is delivered by Marte More >

In our bright and shiny 30th Century the Legion of Super-Heroes is taking a well deserved story break from the activity of the last few issues.. at least that is how this story starts off.

This story is a dense one issue ride with an old Legion foe and a new Legionnaire making their first appearance, so let’s dive in!!!

A simple cover that tells a tale doesn’t it? The Legion is in trouble all because of a little girl? Wait. That can’t be right.. but it is.

Page 1: We get what is affectionately known as the “Roll Call” Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl, Mon-El, Element Lad, Cosmic Boy, Light Lass, Dream Girl, Duo Damsel, Phantom Girl, Chameleon Boy, Shadow Lass, Colossal Boy, Timber Wolf, Wildfire, Brainiac Five, Dawnstar, Ultra Boy, Star Boy, Blok, Shrinking Violet, Sun Boy, Bouncing Boy, “Several Guests” and ?.

We are introduced to Science Police Officer Shvaughn Erin who is the liaison officer between the Legion of Super-Heroes and the Science Police

Page 2: Shvaughn references “Earthwar” and her boss Chief Zendak in internal monologue and approaches the LSH headquarters only to be captured by an automatic unwelcoming mat. Luckily for Shvaughn, Dawnstar and Wildfire are leaving the headquarters and Wildfire blasts the device setting Shvaughn free. More >
