According to her Finding Books in the Library Rules-it's rule #007, by the way-if a book falls on her head, it's a sign she has to read it. She looks at the cover.) T: Mythology of Ancient China. Hmm...that sounds grippingly-boring. Oh, well, maybe Kindsey'll want it and I can finally get my hands on that copy of the Riverfront Times. Heh, heh, heh. (She returns to her table. The Big Bitch looks up and claws the air threateningly.) T: (holds up the book)Check this out, Kindsey! You like mythology, right? (The Big Bitch regains a semblance of human no ...

... lthough readers had never met Sidearm before, the first issue was filled with references to their earlier meeting. Some 8 months later, in _Superboy_ #0, we meet Sidearm again, along with Prof. Emil Hamilton (in town to work at the local STAR Labs). Superboy later reviews his origins for Prof. Hamilton. He explains that his first memory is of a cartoon show, and then Cadmus Director Westfield and Dr. Packard discussing his memory implants. Superboy adds, "And all this happened real fast! I mean, I went from single-cell to single-guy in under a week!". He then reviews his rescue by the Newsboy Legion, his escape and his meeting with his very fir ...

... ith the current, post-Zero Hour version of the Legion that began in 1994. The entire first year was enjoyable, starting with the origin issues (_LSH_ #0 and _L*_ #0) and the regular issues of both titles (_LSH_ #62 and _L*_ #19). If you can't find these issues, they will be reprinted in a trade paperback to be released in August 1999 called _Legion: The Beginning of Tomorrow_, collecting the issues from the zero issues to _LSH_ #65 and _L*_ #22. The balance of the issues from that first year are also well worth collecting as the Legion battled the racist group White Triangle (led by super powered Daxamites) through _LSH_ # 71, _L*_ #28, and the ...

... , Q14) stories recount his adventures beginning at age 28 (SUPERMAN #1, Jan 87). Clark was 34 when Doomsday killed him (NEWSTIME, May 1993; ZERO HOUR #0, Sept 1994). Though flashbacks and stories of his early years may show a younger Clark/Superman, current stories show him at the age of about 37. Due to his alien heritage, it is unknown whether Superman will continue to age and grow old at the rate humans do, but his rate of maturity has till now matched that of humans. See also Superman Time Line by David Chappell for details. Q36: Where does Superman live? A36: Though he was conceived on the planet Krypton, Superman has adopted Earth as ...

... mon Scarabus. Kara carried the pregnancy to full term, and her young babe was born into the world in the midst of the turmoil of Zero Hour (ZERO HOUR #0, Sept 94). The child turned out to be more than merely a bright spot at the end of a major story, however. In the subsequent months, Kara remained protective of her son, and he magically, rapidly grew to become a young man. The child's "father," Scarabus, attacked his son. The demon was defeated only by the combined efforts of Kara and her latent Atlantean magic; the rest of the Justice League; and, most importantly, Kara's now-adult son, Equinox.
