Analysis Notes
General |
Only pages 1, 7:2-3, 15, and 18-19 are dealt with here. |
Given the reaction the Legionnaires had to Superboys
behavior in Legion of Super-Heroes v4 #94 and Superboy v3
#45, the lack of mention of his Legion membership status here is unfortunate. |
None of the Legionnaires speak at all in this issue. |
Cover |
Ultra Boy is near Darkseids thumb. Saturn
Girl and Cosmic Boy are below his middle finger. Brainiac 5 is
below his little finger. Triads leg is below Big Barda. (Note:
neither Ultra Boy nor Triad appear in this issue.) Most surprising,
note the presence of Invisible Kid below Supergirl. Invisible Kid
is not even in the 20th century during this story, much less playing
a role! |
1 |
The characters seen here are (left-to-right, top-to-bottom):
Max Mercury, Impulse, Aquaman, Tigorr, and unnamed Omega Man, Captain
Marvel, Captain Marvel, Artemis, Supergirl, Martian Manhunter, Warrior,
Queen Hippolyta, Flash, Green Lantern, Donna Troy, Steel, Superman, Takion,
Saturn Girl, Cosmic Boy, Prysm, Atom, and Kaliber. |
It is impossible to tell from this page just who drew
what sort of straw. Saturn Girls expression indicates that
either she or Cosmic Boy drew a short one. |
7:2 |
Cosmic Boy is on the platform, next to Starman. |
The bands seen on the characters right arms (many
of them miscolored) are miniature Mother Boxes. |
7:3 |
The character seen between Flash and Martian Manhunter
must be Spark. |
15 |
The characters seen here are (left-to-right, top-to-bottom):
Aquaman, Superman, Supergirl, Orion, Hero, Sparx, Kalibak, Superboy,
Captain Marvel, Artemis, Max Mercury, Starman, Granny Goodness, Impulse,
Jesse Quick, Brainiac 5 (miscolored), Cosmic Boy, Big Barda, Mister Miracle,
an unnamed (and uninked!) Omega Man, and Aura. |
18:1 |
The characters seen here are (left-to-right, top-to-bottom):
Kaliber, Warrior, Arzaz, Spark, Martian Manhunter, Saturn Girl (dead
center), Donna Troy, Flash, Captain Marvel, Steel, and Atom. |
18:2 |
The characters seen here are (left-to-right, top-to-bottom):
Arzaz, Queen Hippolyta, Metron, Saturn Girl, Spark (hitting the wall),
Kaliber Warrior, Captain Marvel, Steel, Flash, Martian Manhunter, and
Donna Troy. |
The Source is presumably damping the impact for the ejected
heroes; otherwise ones like Spark and Saturn Girl would be seriously
injured by such an impact. |
19:2 |
The characters seen here are (left-to-right): Saturn Girl,
Kaliber, Warrior, Donna Troy, Prysm, Queen Hippolyta, Tigorr, Martian
Manhunter, Steel, Flash, Arzaz, Metron, Captain Marvel, Shazam, and Takion. |
19:6 |
It appears that Cosmic Boy and Saturn Girl havent
completely gotten past her mentally induced love. Maybe
they are just holding each other tight as friends. |
Observe the mirrored pose between Cosmic Boy/Saturn Girl
and Mr. Miracle/Big Barda. |
That is a miscolored Brainiac 5 behind Cosmic Boy. The
character behind Saturn Girl is probably Hero. Lightray is next
to Big Barda, with an unnamed Omega Man behind him, and Darkstar is in
the lower left corner. |
