LSH v4 #43 Annotations: The Witch is Back!

Annotations for Legion of Super-Heroes v4 #43


Notes:
  • Cover: The witch is back? Mysa maybe, with the white skin, but new purple armor. We’ll have to wait to see who it is!
  • Page 1: The Sorcerer’s World was destroyed in LSH v3 #63 to defeat the ArchMage at the end of the Magic Wars
  • Page 2: J’onn J’onzz has found Mysa. Last time we saw her was issue 20 (April 2995), 2-1/2 months ago comic time but almost 2 years our time, when she was contacted by the spirit of Amethyst
  • Page 5 panel 5: Spider-Girl is after the container she stole, Earthgov Artifact J-1-WRTZ (as recounted in flashback in issue 27), but it had never been revealed what was in there.
    • In the issue 27 IOKIAS, Tom said “That code name is a clear reference to Julius Schwartz, but I think at the time we wrote this issue, we weren’t sure what exactly was inside that canister, but the code name makes me think Keith’s idea at that time was that it was the Ambush Bug costume. As of this writing [Oct 2009], I don’t remember what we eventually established was in the canister or if we ever got around to identifying it, so I’ll be interested in re-reading the upcoming issues to find out.”
  • Page 7 panel 4: Giffen mandated no costumes or codenames, but now that he’s off the book and the Bierbaums are writers and not just scripters, they have apparently decided to change that
  • Page 9 panel 5: I bet you forgot that the blue probes were Mordru’s spies, reporting back to him. That plot point was dropped years ago, although there’s no probe there on the remains of Sorcerer’s World to report back
  • Page 15 panel 8: Notice the blood crystals with Mordru’s face. That’s a deep callback, according to Tom Bierbaum:
    • We zoom in on a jewel that lodges in her throat and we see the face of Mordru inside the gem. It’s a reference to a real favorite story of mine, the Blood-Crystals back story from an early 1970s Superboy, #188. I think it was the first Anderson-Cockrum story my brother Carl and I found when we were getting into the Legion in 1972 and I loved the depictions in that story of Ultra Boy, Cham, Brainy and Lightning Lad. A great visual element of that story was the “blood crystals” that had little faces of Superboy in them and were designed by Mordru to fill anyone who gazed upon them with a murderous rage toward Superboy. I really enjoyed making the little reference here to that fondly recalled Mordru story of many years earlier, and implying that these crystals had similar properties, filling Mysa with an anti-Mordru rage similar to the anti-Superboy rage of the earlier story.
  • Page 18 panel 1: Mysa is apparently possessed by Amethyst, but it’s not clear which of them is calling for vengeance against Mordru. Mysa was held captive by him in the early days of this book in 2994, while Amethyst confronted him in her 1987-88 miniseries (written by Giffen & Newell, art by Esteban Maroto) in the 20th century.
  • Page 18 panel 5: Note the mist that has arisen and moved to J’onn. I thought it was just dust kicked up but in IOKIAS Tom says to take note of it.
  • Page 20 panel 1: the Spider Guild first appeared in Green Lantern v2 #167, created by Todd Klein and Dave Gibbons. In the 20th century, they faced the Green Lantern Corps and then later the Omega Men before being taken over by Lady Styx and then assimilated into the Third Army (2012 GL storyline). Apparently now they are mercenary guards.
  • Page 21: in the upper right corner are the Masters of Sorcerer’s World, last seen departing Zerox/Sorceror's World in LSH v3 #63.
  • Page 22: Mordru the Mystic, Master of Gaslighting
  • Omnicom:
    • Entry dated 7/29, which means it takes place a month after last issue, in which we saw Luornu’s journal entry dated 6/27. The Legionnaires/Fatal Five storyline is only at 6/14, so we’ll have to keep an eye out for any apparent timeline incongruities
    • The Albert Symphony Orchestra existed in Auckland NZ and made recordings in the 1920s. There’s also a Carl Albert High School in Oklahoma City that has a symphony orchestra. 
    • Pope Anastasius IV was Pope from 1153-1154 and was the last one to take that name.



Here's what we know of the timeline to date. I'm color coding them based on whether the date appeared in the 2995 Sourcebook (yellow; text in yellow is as written in the Sourcebook), it's a confirmed date that was given in the comic (green), or an estimated date based on keeping track of events and days (cyan). Bold text is something new added this issue. Italics are unknown dates.
