Valor #12-13 annotations: DOA parts 1 & 2

Annotations for Valor #12

• On sale 8/17/93
• Legion of Substitute Podcasters episode 663 (June 28, 2021)
• Legion timeline: TBD

Notes:

• DOA Part 1 of 6. 
• Page 1: Since this Valor is in the 20th century, I'm only going to note the Legionnaires part of this issue. No Legionnaires actually appear, but here's a familiar purple-robed figure handling a bunch of red crystals with pictures of Valor in them. We saw something similar back in LSH #43 when Mysa found red crystals with Mordru's face in them, which itself was a callback to Superboy 188 when Chameleon Boy found a "blood crystal" created by Mordru with Superboy's face in it, which instilled a deep hatred of Superboy (just like Mysa's hatred for Mordru after finding her crystals). Is this a coincidence or does it have deeper meaning? We'll have to wait and see.
• Page 9 panel 1: Lori is going to be important.
• Page 18 panel 3: We find that Lar Gand has about a month to live. He still has to do all of that world-seeding that we saw him do back in the Annual, and still has to go into the Phantom Zone (or whatever they're calling it).

Annotations for Valor #13

• On sale 9/14/93
• Legion of Substitute Podcasters episode 666 (July 19, 2021)
• Legion Timeline: TBD in early September 2995

Notes:

• DOA Part 2 of 6. 
• Pages 21-22: We won't find this out for a few more months, but this scene with Triad and Brainiac 5 takes place simultaneously with Legionnaires #16 page 9

I'm not tracking the dates in the Valor timeline, other than they occur in 1993. Once we get into Legionnaires #16 everything will retroactively fit into place but for the moment they're still TBD. Boldface indicates something new learned this issue about the timeline.

• TBD: Triad reviews Valor’s history with Catspaw (Valor #11, in between Legionnaires #15-16)
