Legionnaires #10 annotations: Little White Lies (or: "Stragedy")

 Annotations for Legionnaires #10:

• On sale 11/16/93
• Legion of Substitute Podcasters episode 677 (Oct 4, 2021)
• Timeline: Sept 18, 2995

Notes:

• Page 5 panel 2: Both Tenzil and Violet should have recognized the Protean (or Antarean) as a member of the same race as Proty I & II, who they had met
• Page 17 panel 4: Paris restaurant DuGarm’s named for legendary Interlacker Keating DuGarm. Also, read the room, Dirk – you’re talking about going to a fancy Paris restaurant while you’re helping out in an area where people have no food.
• Page 18 panel 1: back on page 1, they said “Location: Unknown”, but now it says Antares II. Antares II is the homeworld of the protean creatures, which I guess the writers didn’t want to reveal too early.
• Page 19 panel 1: I hope “Stragedy” is deliberate on Tenzil’s part
• Page 22: last time we saw Kid Quantum was in LSH v4 #39 when he and the team were rescued from McCauley’s compound, about 5 months ago (in March 2995, Legion comic time). 
• Where does KQ fit into continuity to begin with?
• In the revised 5YL timeline in the 2995 Sourcebook, Kid Quantum joined early in the team’s history, in between Chameleon Boy/Colossal Boy/Invisible Kid and Brainiac 5/Laurel Gand (August 2973)
• He was seemingly killed on July 16, 2974, after a year in the Legion, prior to Shrinking Violet/Sun Boy (July 28) and Matter-Eater Lad (Dec 24) joining, so neither of them knew him personally. (Nor, of course, did the new SW6 members Catspaw and Dragonmage)
• As a reminder, the Legionnaires were "cloned" in 2978.
• My best guess, after reading ahead through #12 and LSH #54 is that issues 9-11 all take place on the same day, which is 9/18/2995.

Cutting down the timeline to just the last few entries since it was getting so long. 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.

• Wed 7/29/95: Jacques and Drura join the team; Mysa is possessed, and goes to Tharn to confront Mordru (LSH v4 #43), but she is defeated and is absorbed into Mordru.
