March is going to be a great month for me, I can just tell. With four issues of some main stream comics coming out dealing with the Legion of Superheroes, my time is going to be consumed with Legion goodness.
First off we have the Aventure Comics issue that I talked about last post. Here is the summery;
ADVENTURE COMICS ships twice this month as this spring’s Superman event “Brainiac & The Legion of Super-Heroes” starts with a prologue in #8 and reaches a boiling point in #9!
Starting way back in “The Lightning Saga,” various clues have been planted about a group of Legionnaires undercover in the 21st century. Who are they and why are they here? And what does their mission have to do with the fate of New Krypton? James Robinson (SUPERMAN) and Julián López (WORLD’S FINEST) may have an answer or two!
Meanwhile, in a tale of the 31st century by Sterling Gates (SUPERGIRL) and Clayton Henry (ADVENTURE COMICS), the Legion of Super-Heroes infiltrates a hidden Legion of Super-Villains base! The horrifying plans Brainiac 5 discovers inside will alter Superman’s life – FOREVER!
Plus, in the co-feature by Eric Trautmann (ACTION COMICS) and newcomer Pier Gallo, learn more about General Lane’s Human Defense Corps – Earth’s best line of defense against the looming Kryptonian threat!
Hmm, the whole little part about Brainiac Five finding something that could change Superman's life forever is pretty interesting. And I do want to know what the hell those Legionaries are doing in the past, besides hanging out with the Science Police and Superboy.
Part number one of the saga though is really Superman: : Last Stand of New Krypton # 1 where Brainiac comes to New Krypton to reclaim that which was stolen from him, Kandor. Zod though has a plan.. though I'm a little scared to see what it is. Here is the summery.
The new Superman crossover event “Brainiac & The Legion of Super-Heroes” begins here, in this first issue of a 3-part miniseries! It’s New Krypton’s worst nightmare as Brainiac attacks the planet, determined to recapture the city of Kandor! But General Zod has been waiting for this moment since Brainiac first attacked Old Krypton – he has a plan to save his people, but at the cost of Earth and the future as we know it! So it’s up to Superman, Supergirl, Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes to stop the two madmen before they destroy everything!
He must have some kind of omaga level weapon in order to repel Brainiac, but at the cost of Earth. We know the Legion will step up to help though, if the Future as they know it is at stake.
The second part of the Brainiac and the Legion of Superheroes takes place in Supergirl #51. Fresh after the death of Lana, even Supergirl can't be cut a break. Here is the summery;
“Brainiac & The Legion of Super-Heroes” Part 2! Amidst Brainiac’s assault on New Krypton, General Zod has brandished the Legion of Super-Heroes terrorists and imprisoned them! Superboy will do his best to free them, but he’ll have to go through Supergirl first! That’s right, it’s the Super-battle of the sexes you’ve been waiting for! Poor Ma Kent is going to be so disappointed in them…
Heh. Supergirl is going to trash Superboy, but not without Superboy giving it his all. Though I think Brainiac Five is going to help them all in the end.
The third part takes Superman back to the comic he belongs in; Superman #698 has Superman and Mon-El taking the fight to Brainiac's Ship and showing him what's up. Here is the summery;
“Brainiac & The Legion of Super-Heroes” Part 3! Superman is trapped on Brainiac’s ship while New Krypton burns! Mon-El will need to call upon all the skills he’s learned in the last year if he’s going to have a chance of freeing the Man of Steel! Plus, what secret about Brainiac will the duo learn that may help turn the tide?
Oh goodness, this should be great. I can't wait to see what is going to take place in the final battle. But that isn't the only good think going on in March there is also....
Blackest Night #8
Green Lantern # 52
Green Lantern Corp # 46
First Wave # 1 (featureing the Spirit)
And many more... I can not wait.
