ComicsAlliance Celebrates Tyroctober

I’ve made no secret of the fact that I’m a fan of The Legion of Super-Heroes.

It is, to the best of my recollection, the single series to which I have been the most devoted for over 30 years. In fact, as much of a Green Lantern fan as I am, the one – comic-related – thing that supersedes it: My affinity for the Legion. Reboots and all. (I think that the Legion has been rebooted – and unbooted – more times than the DC Universe, on the whole.) But it still my “warm, fuzzy place” in comics.

So, when I read the title of to (Kid sister of Invisible Kid II)   <— this phrase got lost to a rogue script

I should note that while Tyroc was Black, he was not African-American; he was African. More or less. In typical comic book fashion, so as not to commit a character to an actual nation, the powers-that-be at DC Comics created the island nation of Marzal as Tyroc’s homeland. The introduction and characterization of Tyroc was… “to amend that to some degree in the DCnU.

But, I digress…

The point of this blog post was to say that I found a Legion article on Comics Alliance and it made me smile.

And with that, I’m done.
