Wow!
That looks pretty trippy
That was one of the last panels from the rebootâs regular run right there. The trippiness is confetti
Looks like some Alan Moore tales.
Itâs from the Universo Project, so that explains the strangeness
A very cool moment.
Nicely drawn scene!
I assume itâs Marv Wolfman, Destroyer of infinite Earths, in the Time Trapperâs outfit since of course itâs his fault the poor Superboy got in this situation to begin with.
LaRoque/DeCarlo actually! LSH v3 #38
The story is kind of confusing actually, as it seems like there is a missing issue between this and the preceding issue.
I love a mystery Iâll have to check this out now!
I guess Iâll need a little more detail on what you feel is missing.
The previous issue shows the collapse of the time lab at the very end of the story. You also have Cosmic Boyâs return to the proper century and his story of how time has been changed for the 1980s.
All four of the issues concerning the Superboy pocket universe are in DC Universe Infinite.
But I didnât double-check is to see if there were still two Legion of Super-hero comic series being published at the time, Iâm thinking it was back down to one series.
Oh that may be it - so 37 is when a bunch of Legionnaires go back and find Superboy, but he freezes Rokk, Lydda, Jo and Lar at his house so he can âsaveâ his parents. It ends with Brainy, Blok and a couple others running away in a time sphere pursued by Superboy.
In 38, Superboy is in the time sphere, and Blok is saying âthank goodness youâre the real Superboyâ or something to that effect. So it feels like somethingâs missing between 37 & 38, but thereâs no editorial callouts like normal. At this point there is only the V3 Baxter title in print.
The two issues in between are Superman and Action Comics of the time
Ah thank you sir!
And I totally didnât read the description blurb of 37 - I just went from 36 into 37, so missed the âcontinued inâŚâ notation on the site. Still, I was surprised there wasnât anything on the last page of the issue!
Strangely enough, I never read 38 prior. After having read through the vast majority of the Legion books to get to this point, it was poignant and a downer for sure. The beginning of the editorial meddlingâŚ
Yes, 38 was one of the saddest stories to me, felt like the death of the Legion not just Superboy.
Should we blame Byrne? hmmmm
PerhapsâŚ.
