Adventures In The DC Universe #10
Written by Steve Vance; art and cover by John Delaney and Ron Boyd
Legion Month continues in the animated "Adventures" style! Returning from a
difficult mission, plagued by injuries and exhaustion, the Legion of
Super-Heroes is ambushed by a deadly alien menace -- one who seems to be
invulnerable to all of their greatest powers! Meanwhile, back on Tenzil
Kem, Chuck Taine, and new member Ferro must face the awesome peril of "The
Thing From Brainiac's Lab!"
Inferno #3
Written by Stuart immonen; art and cover by Immonen and Wade Von
Grawbadger
As Legion Month unfolds, the solo adventures of one of the Legion's most
popular members continue! Events in the mall begin to simmer as Inferno
finds herself on her own again while, outside, the sun sets and darkness
descends, both without and within. The real-world concerns of Inferno's
new-found friends, including an abusive boyfriend and a murder attempt,
drive Inferno deeper into her own darkness, feeding the psyche of a monster
in the shadows -- a monster now hungry enough to step from the dark to
attack the light.
Legionnaires #56
Written by Roger Stern and Tom McCraw; art by Todd Nauck; cover by Jeffrey
Moy and W.C. Carani
Legion month continues with a special issue focusing on M'Onel! Daxam's
greatest hero takes center stage as the Legionnaire single-handedly facs a
horde of savage Khunds in a story with many hints to the direction of both
Legion titles for the future. Why must M'On face his foes single-handed?
Because all the other Legionnaires have disappeared!
Legion Of Super-Heroes #100
Written by Tom Peyer, Paul Levitz, Tom McCraw, Roger Stern, Mark Farmer,
Ron Boyd and others; art by Lee Moder, Jason Armstrong, Alan Davis, Walter
Simonson, Farmer, Ron Boyd and others; gatefold cover by Davis and Farmer
Legion Month reaches its thrilling conclusion with a triple-sized
millennium-spanning celebration of the biggest team in comics! In the
tempestuous conclusion of "C.O.M.P.U.T.O. the Conqueror!," the timelost
members of the Legion find their way back to the 30th Century, with the aid
of Superboy, Impulse, Robin, Green Lantern, and the JLA's Martian Manhunter!
Plus, learn the real relationship between Apparition and L.E.G.I.O.N.'s
Phase, and discover the final fate of Triad! Plus, a back-up story
introduces the "Legion Outpost," the team's new orbiting nerve center, along
with new LSH penciller Jason (THE RAY, Spider-Man) Armstrong. Also, DC
Publisher Paul Levitz writes his first Legion story in eight years!
Illustrated by Walter Simonson, it's a story that shows the Legion
investigating an intergalactic anomaly that will have significant impact on
the team in coming months. All this, plus additional short stories and
pin-ups by Adam Hughes, Stuart Immonen, Chris Sprouse, Dan Jurgens, Philip
Moy, Louise Simonson, Dusty Abell, and many more! FC, 96 pg. Mando Format
