I have to say I am looking forward to the miniseries they show at the end. FINAL CRISIS THE LEGION OF 3 WORLDS. George Perez, Geoff Johns, Superman and various versions of the legion vs Superboy prime and the Legion of Villians. It looks epic and Johns has not disappointed me yet. http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=152225
Outside of one small detail that really upset me (minor thing, really something only a die-hard Legion fan would notice), I loved it. This whole Legion storyline has been amazing, even with Gary Frank's artwork sucking major ass for the first four issues (and slightly less ass in the subsequent two). I'm all aboard for the Legion of Three Worlds, especially since it will mean the return of the reboot Legion and my favorite Legionnaire ever: Triad.
So they're finally going to get around to the lightning rod. Think it'll be Bart? The speed force was the only other thing to stop Superboy Prime, besides Superman. If even for just a short while. As far as I know, the Legion doesn't have a single member who can use it. I can't think of anyone else it could be. Isn't he also from around that time period?
This Superman & The Legion of Super-Heroes VS. Superboy Prime & The Legion of Super-Villians look to be a great read....i plan on picking it up as Final Crisis is not a weekly title.
Read it today and I enjoyed it. I like Frank's art but like my thoughts on Yu, he's a specific artist. His work on Superman was okay but just didn't fit. It was great but his rugged style doesn't suit the characters, epsecially since most are very young. His Supreme Power book waas fantastic though. His style fit. But anyway, Iloved the book adn I don't care for legion at all. I'll be getting the 3rd World Crisis mini and that'll porbably be the only Crisis tie in I get.
XS is a speedster and Bart Allen's Cousin. Interesting idea of Bart being who they retrieved. One of the places used during the Lightning Rod bit was wear Barry Allen appeared in COIE and Wally did come back as a "freak side effect". According to the Wiki page for XS, her and the Allen family will play a key role in the Legion of Three Worlds mini.
