Brainiac 5 constructs the most sophisticated computer he’s ever built and names it COMPUTO (not an abbreviation in this version). For some reason he also makes COMPUTO mobile and adds tentacles. COMPUTO is also sentient and by page 4 is totally crazy. Can it get any worse?
Hey DC, how about a Legion flight ring promotion?
Just a suggestion from some Legion fans: There’s two new Legion series starting later this year and why not celebrate/promote them by conducting a Legion flight ring promotion like the one for Blackest Night? It does look like the titles that included promotional rings got a sales boost so I can’t see why this promotion wouldn’t do the same. You wouldn’t have to include rings with many titles, just Adventure Comics and The Legion of Super-Heroes and maybe R.E.B.E.L.S.
The flight ring is a quintessential image that represents the Legion of Super-Heroes. It would be a perfect promotion for these two new titles. New fans will get a kick out of these (hey, I’m part of the Legion too!) and the dyed -in-the-wool fans will spasm with glee.
Adventure Comics #326 Nov. 1964
While on a mission the female Legionnaires were given a post-hypnotic message to eliminate all the male members and take over the Legion. The women use their feminine wiles to trap the men in lethal traps. What is causing them to act this way?
Legionnaires #43 Dec. 1996
The Legion forces are divided, half the team is stuck in the 20th century with no apparent way to get home. The other Legionnaires decide to hold tryouts to beef up their numbers. Let the zaniness ensue.
It’s a very Legion day.
Yup, two Legion titles. Legion of Super-Heroes (version 6!) starts in May and Adventure Comics in June. The Legion Omnicom has a much better wrap-up of all the news than I could pull off. I sincerely hope that the market will embrace two Legion titles. All pessimism aside, I’m very excited! Oh, and DC: this would be a great time for some Archie Legion trades to be released. 😮
