03:38 pm [04nbod] [Link]	The Return of Lyrl Dox The DC Source has a preview of R.E.B.E.L.S including a catch up on Lyrl Dox, Son of Vril Dox, Great Uncle of Querl Dox. ( I'm guessing the aging is an alien thing. ) He grew up quickly, if I remember rightly the last time we saw him was showcase '96. The Reboot Legion are trapped in the 20th century and Brainiac 5 has inadvertantly awakened Brainiac 1. Vril gets the call and he decides to go and take down his dad. ( The adventures of Vril and Lyrl! ) Current Mood: amused Tags: char: brainiac 2/vril dox, char: brainiac 5/querl dox, char: braniac//vril dox, char: lyrl dox, group: legion of super-heroes, publisher: dc comics, title: r.e.b.e.l.s.

11:44 pm [galateus] [Link]	Brainiac 5 and Clark Waaay back in 2006, when the Legion of Super Heroes cartoon first aired, an s_d 1.0 member thought that Bouncing Boy would be the Legionnaire who'd be subtext-y for Supes. Then the episode "Legacy" happened. Hindsight, as they say, is 20/20. ( 'Training purposes,' dammit! ) ETA: Goddammit Photobucket just reduced their bandwidth limit from 25 GB to 10 GB. Yet they still sent me an email saying I'd exceeded the "25 GB" limit...

04:04 pm [04nbod] [Link]	A Kinder Fanboy- M'rissy In the final months of the threeboot book the Legion was joined by the young M'rissy. At the time I thought it was obviously how Shooter saw himself in his early years writing the Legion but went on to discover the name M'rissy is actually referring to a fan of the Legion who had since died, Rich Morrissey. (His writings about Coluan Lifespans, from the Legion Fanzine 'legion outpost' is available in 'the best of the Legion outpost' on amazon) ( For Every Prime there is a M'rissy ) Tags: char: brainiac 5/querl dox, char: element lad/alchemist/jan arrah, char: lightning lad/livewire/garth ranzz, char: m'rissy, char: phantom girl/apparition/tinya wazz, creator: jim shooter, group: legion of super-heroes, publisher: dc comics (23 comments \| Leave a comment)

05:07 am [galateus] [Link]	The other Brainiac 5 It's hard to pin down a defining moment out of a relatively small pool of, well, moments, good or bad. The Legion cartoon and its comics were both cancelled after just two years, after all. ( Still... there are some things classically Brainiac ) Tags: char: brainiac 5/querl dox, char: lightning lad/livewire/garth ranzz, char: superman/clark kent, group: legion of super-heroes, series: one perfect moment week, title: loshit31c (7 comments \| Leave a comment)
01:45 am [04nbod] [Link]	Brainiac 5 vs Computo (via Danielle Foccart) I tried to make a perfect moment post for Brainiac 5 but there was too much awesome for only 2 pages. I gave up so here's a regularly scheduled post. Legion of Super-Heroes vol. 2 (issue 311) ( The Legion is the only good thing in the entire history of the 1980's. FACT ) Current Mood: tired Tags: char: bouncing boy/chuck taine, char: brainiac 5/querl dox, char: computo, char: invisible kid/jacques foccart, char: superman/clark kent, group: legion of super-heroes (3 comments \| Leave a comment)

10:46 pm [icon_uk] [Link]	The difference between "clever" and "smart" I'm not a scientist, but I DO work at a place which has some of the cleverest people in the country on staff; brilliant engineers who have built everything from satellites and landers to particle accelerators, software developers who helped build the Internet, physicists of every flavour from particle physics to the sort that require more dimensions than the Great old Ones inhabit... Seriously, their combined IQ would be terrifying.. But are they SMART as well as clever? That's a difficult question. A former Chief Exec used to tell a story about visiting another research establishment, and asking how many scientists were employed there. Their CE told him "We have around two hundred scientists, and one inventor"... when asked to elaborate on what the difference was he was told "The inventor isn't the best scientist we have, but it's his output that allows us to pay for the two hundred scientists!" And how does this relate to comics, well, this is a case study, as it were, of the difference between the two concepts of clever and smart...

After the recent example of Legiondickery here, I though we should see a slightly better example of a Legion Recruitment drive....

10:41 pm [icon_uk] [Link]	When fanservice is essential to the plot who you gonna call? ADAM HUGHES! I originally planned on posting this as a quick scan of Triplicate Girl's swimsuit, as I love the notion of a costume that splits into three different outfits to match the personalities. However when I dug the issue out, I realised that this was a golden opportunity to showcase how to best utilise your artist... You get Adam Hughes on art, then give him a story where the entire cast of sculpted young Adonises and curvaceous Aphrodites ARE IN SWIMSUITS... and it's not gratuitous, it's a PLOT POINT! Genius!
