Analysis Notes

General The Marvel Universe features a team of alien superheroes — the personal guard of the leader of the Shi’ar Empire — based on the Legion of Super-Heroes.  This New X-Men run is notable because it produces new designs for several of the Imperial Guard, and adds or replaces a few existing ones, making it an analogue of the postboot Legion.
23:1
Accompanying Araki 6 and Lilandra are three Imperial Guard members: a revised Starbolt (Sun Boy variant), Gladiator (Superboy/M’Onel), and N’rill’ree (no Legion equivalent).
Why don’t they number their pages?
