Hi gang!
Just the one new book this week that was expected. Details follow the

ADVENTURE COMICS 528
The final two-part story in this run of Adventure has lsv member Cosmic King
invade the presently empty Legion headquarters. The only Legionnaires handy
are the Academy instructors Bouncing Boy, Duplicate Girl and Night Girl, who
are having a graduating class ceremony at the Academy. Long time students
Power Boy, Crystal Kid, Lamprey, and Nightwind all graduate to the Science
Police, and are quickly packed off to Takron-Galtos, where I'm sure they
will be seen again, assuming the comics survive long enough for a return
visit.
The current Academy rookies follow their teachers unrequested to the Legion
headquarters. Cosmic King has managed to get the dropo on the teachers by
using some of the defense systems, and several of the Dead Legionnaire
statues in the Memorial Hall. When the students rush in, Cosmic King making
the usual threatening speech about killing them all. To be continued in
what has already been announced as the last issue of Adventure.
Looking at the new Previews, the only thing I see involving the Legion are
the two new #1 issues featuring them, and the trade paperback versions of
last year's hardcover collections Mon-el: Man of Valor, and Nightwing and
Flamebird volume 2. The blurbs for LSH v7 #1 indicates the Academy students
will become part of the team "after the greatest disaster in their history".
Obviously this is either a reference to the event that causes Legion lost
(II) to spin off, or DC's apparent decision to tie the LSH closer to the DCU
by spinning off LLost, which is supposed to be set in present day DCU.
Since Lost is listed as an ongoing title, some fool at DC wants the split to
be permanent. These blurbs do NOT leave with warm fuzzy feelings, gang.
Or maybe I'm just bummed about the renumbering everything to #1. Some of
the titles I buy are BECAUSE of the high issue number, and the history it
represents.
Until next time,
