Description

This Action Comics cover becomes a great vehicle to re-tell the Cloned Ferro Lad & Invisible Kid story from Superboy & the Legion of Superheroes Issue 206. We added Chemical King for good measure...

I always found it odd that these cloned heroes with 31st century technology explode after 24 hours but in the 20th century with Project Cadmus', The Guardian and later Connor ( Superboy ) Kent they go on without these deadly effects to be odd but we as readers do not let get inconsistencies get in the way of a good story or in this case a dramatic Re-Legioned cover.

John Watson who is both a huge Legion fan himself , as well as a talented artist pulls out all the stops to help , tell a story we called "Dead, Dead & Dead" again...

It is fun not just to Re-Legion a cover but when we manage to tie it into an existing Legion story , its the icing on the cake..

Another spectacular piece by John! I love the concept for this one--this looks like a story that SHOULD have happened back in the day.

Thank you. I find the whole process of commissioning to be so much fun. I get to be a "Legion editor/writer "in my own imaginary universe...
