Monday Odds and Ends

[kybearfuzz]

• You know you're getting old when the superheroes in the comics you read since you were a kid are now YOUNGER than you are.
  
• On comics, the "Blackest Night" storyline at DC is the bomb. Also, I hope that the Legion of Super-Heroes is going to get a separate series, as I don't see me getting enough out of a back-up in "Adventure Comics."
  
• What has happened to Bearciti? Is it now gone for good?
  
• On Friday, Tim (making his second appearance in the journal now) and I watched Rebecca, which I'd always heard about (mainly through the Carol Burnett Show Parody "Rebecky"), but not seen. Incredible movie. A young woman marries a wealthy widower and moves into his mansion only to discover that the shadow of the previous wife still reigns in the house. The best of the movie is Judith Anderson who plays the evil Mrs. Danvers! I bought this one.
  
• I saw District 9 this past weekend. The movie starts a bit slow and silly, but turns into a really good movie. I would hope that we as the human race would treat aliens better than this. The acting was good, as was some of the eye candy and the special effects. I can see a sequel in the future.
  
• I haven't stopped doing the found money project for the year. I haven't counted it in a week or so, but I think I'm now above $3, which isn't bad considering it is mostly pennies.
  
• I am in a drawing mood, but hitting a drawing block. Dang...

LOL... yeah, the Karate Kid thing was slightly confusing too. I don't much remember the new one in the black and green. I'm thinking he wasn't around very long before the reboots, or maybe wasn't really utilized much.

I think my problem is I've been reading DC books including S&theLSH since the mid-70s and with 30 some years of history and reboots I'm just totally starting to have a hard time remember which is which. It would be nice to have Johns give us a decent overview of where the Legion really stands now as far as it's history.

I totally agree with you there. I've been reading LSH since the 80's (and reading the back issues from the 1970's) and managed to keep the continuity straight until they started doing all the "later" versions and "reboot" versions and whatnot.

My biggest fear was that they'd create an integrated Legion from the three different teams, different ages, different pasts, etc., which thankfully it looks like the writer avoided largely.

yeah, I was fearful they would do the same. It looks to me like just XS (did they explain how she ended up on Earth 247 in the first place?) and Gates are making the move from reboot Legions. I can see XS just cause they had to reconcile her being Barry's granddaughter... but Gates??? I'm *very* curious to see what Johns has planned for the little teleporting bug... he must have something planned if he pulled him to the regular LSH universe LOL
