Valor #16-17 annotations: DOA parts 5 & 6

 Presenting two issues worth of annotations of Valor here again.

Annotations for Valor #16

  • On sale 12/14/93
  • Legion of Substitute Podcasters episode 682 (Nov 7, 2021)
  • Legion timeline: for Valor and Glorith, a few days after the last issue; for the Legionnaires, immediately after their appearance in the last issue, coming from TBD in September 2995


Notes:
  • DOA Part 5 of 6. The book has some of the SW6 Legionnaires coming in from the 30th century and this title will soon join the other Legion books. But in the meantime, Valor is still in the 20th century and I'm only tracking the 30th century crew. 
  • Recall that from the Legionnaires’ perspective, this follows from their appearance last issue and overall is part of the sequence that takes place in between Legionnaires #16 pages 10-11 
  • At first, I noticed that Lori just resembled Glorith and that the name was close enough to be a fake-out, but last issue was the clincher when she took Valor to her home planet of Baaldur. That surely could not have been a coincidence. The character of Lori was created by Mark Waid back in issue 12, so this was planned all along and it wasn’t him picking up the plot threads by the previous team.
  • We still don’t know what happened to SW6 Valor, who went back in time several months ago in Legion-time (LSH v4 #37, which was May 2995; the Legionnaires are coming from mid-late September) and hasn’t been seen since.


Annotations for Valor #17

  • On sale 1/11/94
  • Legion of Substitute Podcasters episode 679 (Oct 18, 2021)
  • Legion Timeline: immediately after their appearance in the last issue, coming from TBD in September 2995

Notes:
  • DOA Part 6 of 6. 
  • Cover: Colleen Doran worked with Terry Austin only four times:
    • Dazzler/Rogue 7p story in Marvel Fanfare 6/88
    • Captain Atom 22 p story 3/91
    • Cheshire profile in Who’s Who in the DCU 9/91
    • This cover 3/94
  • Page 5 panel 1: Glorith is being retconned into being the reason for Valor’s power issues over the course of the series (no telling what the original creative team had planned)
  • Page 16 panel 3: I guess Cosmic Boy is really and truly dead, right?
  • Page 19 panel 3: I guess Valor is really and truly dead, right?
  • Page 21 panel 3: I guess Ultra Boy is really and truly dead, right?
  • Page 22: notice that this new Valor’s costume is his traditional 30th century Legion costume and not the 20th century Valor’s costume. Could it be SW6 Valor, lost in the time stream since LSH v4 #37?


I'm not tracking the dates in the Valor timeline, other than they occur in 1993, just the Legionnaires stuff. 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)
  • TBD: Brainy & Triad find that Valor has been retconned from history (Valor #13, which is the same as Legionnaires #16 pages 9-10); Brainy, Triad, Saturn Girl, Dragonmage, Ultra Boy, and Cosmic Boy leave to go back in time to find out what happened (Valor #14, which is the same as Legionnaires #16 page 10).
  • Outside of time: the Legionnaires are in the time stream and crash their Time Bubble (Valor #15); The Legionnaires fight Valor and find out that Lori is Glorith (Valor #16) and then fight Glorith, but Valor succumbs to the effects of his lead poisoning and dies; another Valor appears (Valor #17).

Legionnaires #12 annotations: Earth for Humans!

  Annotations for Legionnaires #12:


Notes:

  • Page 3 panel 1: Last issue, KQ was with the group coming back from Antares II, so this is about a day later.
  • Page 4 panel 4: Inferno was called back from Paris to Metropolis between page 2 panel 4 and page 4 panel 4. Tom Bierbaum had mentioned in IOKIAS that they were having to script different scenes for different artists and some things got mixed up, this looks like one of them.
  • Page 6 panel 3: Colossal Boy was last seen with Invisible Kid in space back in issue 9. 
  • Page 7 panel 4: it almost looks like this is right after Brainy’s team gets zapped last issue, but remember this is a day later.
  • Page 8 panel 5: Chains around the tunnel doors – could it be Grimbor?
  • In LSH #54, we saw KQ already on Earth with Cham and Computo, so he had to get back from Antares II and rejoin the Legionnaires (as seen in this issue). That suggests that he was on Antares two days ago and he got back to Earth one day ago and then rejoined the Legionnaires. Through math and some educated guessing, issues 9-11 (which all took place on the same day) took place on the day that the senior Legion left Quarantine to go to Talus in LSH #54. Issue 12 takes place the same day that the senior Legion made it to Talus and got captured, then left for Weber’s World, also in #54. (I’m assuming one day of travel between worlds.) My estimate is that this issue takes place on Tuesday, 9/19/2995.



Cutting down the timeline to just the last couple months 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).

LSH v4 #54: A Brand-New Era!

  Annotations for LSH v4 #54:


Notes:

  • Cover: A bold new era! We’ve gone full early 90s with a die-cut silver cover.
  • Page 1: There’s an intro text page that I guess was for those who picked up the issue because of the cover, who might not have had any exposure to the Legion.
  • Page 11 panel 3: Quake is one of the SP Academy cadets. I think he’s a new character, unless he’s the same as Quake Kid, whose only previous appearance was SBOY 218.
  • Page 12 panel 2: Crystal Kid and Color Kid were last seen in issue 41, Stone Boy in issue 42
  • Page 12 panel 4: Stun is a new character
  • Page 13 panel 2: Shift is another new character
  • Page 14 panel 3: Everyone knows that video can’t be faked. And why doesn’t anyone remember all the times that Universo tried to take over the Earth and the UP and was stopped by the Legion?
  • Page 15 panel 5: wonder who Universo is reporting to? Too bad that Jacques didn’t have a recorder with him. Earlier in the series, he was working with the Dark Circle and Leland McCauley IV.
  • Page 18 panel 1: Khund Warlord Angart is new.
  • Page 24 panel 1: That’s Cham, Computo, and Kid Quantum from the Legionnaires. This takes place contemporaneously with their series between Legionnaires #11-12, and conveniently there’s a space to put this scene where it all makes sense. That also locks Legionnaires #9-15 into place as well, since those issues are pretty tight.
    • Kid Quantum is here with Cham and Computo, so it's likely that he rejoined the Legionnaires yesterday. And in Legionnaires #11, Andromeda tells Cham that she's bringing KQ back, so with travel time that means he left Antares the day before that. That puts issues 9-11 as occurring on 9/18, KQ is sworn in on 9/19, and this scene on 9/20.
    • See the timeline below for how the events of this issue fit from 9/17 to 9/27.
  • Page 26 panel 2: Vi mentions being on the Khund satellite back in issue 44, that was when they had to team up with the Khunds to fight off Mordru and his armies of the undead and when they took in the 4 Khundish members
  • Page 26 panel 3: Ayla is asking the right question about Wildfire’s body but nobody is listening

Legionnaires #11 annotations: Welcome Back Kid Quantum

  Annotations for Legionnaires #11:


Notes:

  • Cover: Tom Bierbaum complained that seeing Kid Quantum in costume spoiled the reveal that he would survive and join the team.
  • As a reminder, the 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). The Protean “Soul of Antares” history was from #33.
    • In the revised 5YL timeline, 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 killed in July 16, 2974, after a year in the Legion, prior to Shrinking Violet and Matter-Eater Lad joining, so neither of them knew him personally. Tenzil and Violet would have recognized the Antareans as Protys though, as they knew Proty I & II.
  • The events of this issue conclude the day that started with issues 9-10. We won't find out until LSH v4 #54 that something that happens in that issue retroactively sets issues 9-11 on Sept 18, 2995.
  • Page 14 panel 2: Paris restaurant DuGarm’s named for legendary Interlacker Keating DuGarm. 
  • Page 18 panel 2: last issue, they first said “location unknown” and later in the same issue they said it was Antares II. From the impression I got, the ship was shot down while they were returning to their home planet but they never made it, apparently it really was their home world all along.



Cutting down the timeline to just the last couple months 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.

The Legion agrees to help the Khunds, but they insist that the Legion take on four new Khundish members (LSH v4 #44).
  • Sun 8/2/95: The Legion fights Mordru’s zombies on Sklar, Talus, Trom, and in space (LSH v4 #45). On Talus, the Legionnaires fight their own dead, and new Khund Legionnaire Bloodclaw is killed before the team halts Mordru’s magics on the planet. Jan fights the dead Trommites on Pasnic (LSH v4 #46). The Legionnaires bring the fight to Mordru on Tharn, losing the Khund Firefist in the process (LSH v4 #47). The dead on Talus are defeated, but during the fight Timber Wolf returns to the 30th century with Jamm (LSH v4 Ann #4). With the help of Devlin O’Ryan and the spirit of Amethyst, Mordru and Mysa are separated and Mordru is defeated (LSH v4 #48). 
  • Mon 8/3/95: Jamm takes the Legionnaires on a prodigious trip before being returned to his own time (LSH v4 Ann #4).
  • Tues 8/4/95: The Legion leaves Tharn for Khundish space, where Flederweb and Veilmist are forced to rejoin the Khundish forces. Jan recovers on Pasnic, while Amethyst and Mysa ponder the future (LSH v4 #48).

  • Wed 8/12/95: Brainiac 5 returns to New Earth with the rest of his team (Legionnaires #8).
  • Wed 9/13/95 (estimated): “Several weeks later” after Tenzil’s wedding, Dawnstar returns to Starhaven; three BIONs attack the Legion on Talus; Universo convinces Relnic and King Jonn that the Legion is helping the Khunds attack UP space (LSH v4 #50).
