For this Legion of Super-Heroes fan we go way back into the 1980s for:

The first issue of the Cosmic Boy mini-series, in which writer Paul Levitz and artists Keith Giffen, Ernie Colon & Bob Smith bring the titular Legionnaire back to the 20th Century.

For Asif's bonus comic, I'm sending him the Iron Man ashcan.

Round Twelve? Duck!

Someone Else Has Probably Already Made This Observation

So in looking at the two-page spread of the new Fortress of Solitude in last week's Action Comics Annual #10, I noticed that there are statues of the old (pre-Crisis/ZH/Reboot) Legion of Super-Heroes in there, not the current LoSH.

Which led me to a realization: The current Supergirl and The Legion of Super-Heroes comic is probably set not in the future of 'New Earth' (i.e. the current DCU), but rather in the future of the 'New Parallel Earth' (or whatever they end up calling it) that is being hinted at.

This would explain why the Supergirl in SatLoSH is different than the one appearing in the modern day DCU. I also seem to recall some multiversing going on in the final issue of the old Legion when the new LoSH was introduced.

Monkey Covers

Sunday is Monkey Covers day here at YACB. Because there's nothing better than a comic with a monkey on the cover.

Who is that on the shoulder of Bizarro Brainiac 5 on the cover of Legion of Super-Heroes #114? It's Bizarro Koko! This cover by Alan Davis & Mark Farmer is our second (of two) Bizarro Monkey covers, following Bizarro Titano from the week before last..
