For a team/comic that hasn’t had their own title in nearly two-and-a-half years, the 30th Century’s Legion of Super-Heroes has been popping up in a bit of comics-related press in the past few weeks. (As far as I’m concerned, this is far from a “bad thing.”)
There was a cover shot of LSH #300 in DC Comics’ press video for the upcoming “Rebirth” event/non-event…
LSH #300
…apparently, there was a nod to the Legion in last night’s episode of Supergirl…
Legion Flight Ring
…and the team – or, at least, the founders – are featured in the upcoming LEGO Justice League: Comsic Clash… which means it’s pretty much a shoo-in that I will watch this video.
After watching the above clip, I went to heat up my lunch. Waiting for the microwave to do its thing, I noticed I was humming Madonna’s Material Girl. In and of itself, that’s not so bad… but not really Legion-related. The thing is: I caught myself reparsing the lyrics from:
‘Cause we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
to
‘Cause we are living in a material world
And I’m an immaterial girl
…referencing Phantom Girl and her abilities. Thankfully, I stopped before I started changing the verses to fit a 30th Century theme. For now.
Send help.
Please.
