Places

• Metropolis

Bits of Legionnaire Business

  • Shadow Lass joins the Legion.
  • Clubhouse destroyed.

Get-a-Life Boy says


  • Personally I think Shadow Lass gets a bit of a raw deal here. She has to ask to become a Legionnaire, and under the circumstances, it seems like a case of "Oh, well, we're all going to die soon anyway, so what can it hurt to swear her in?" Fortunately, Shady had the last laugh.
  • Nowadays you can judge how long someone has been a Legion fan by which Legion they grew up with. In the olden days, when there was only one real Legion, you'd find out which Legionnaires a person thought of as "the new ones." To me, Shadow Lass and all who followed are "the new ones."

Chronicler's Error?

Not exactly an error, but I've always thought it odd that the cover text reads "Battle for the Championship..." while the story title reads "Fight for the Championship..." (emphasis added) Someone wasn't talking to someone else enough, I guess.
