"I know what's on your mind! You're thinking!...'So he's an unusual freak! So what? That doesn't qualify him for Legion membership!' But you're wrong--no matter where or how a foe ever imprisons us, I could always eat our way to freedom!"
Matter-Eater Lad, from "The Fantastic Spy" (Adventure Comics #303, December 1962)

MATTER-EATER LAD IS BACK! CHECK OUT HIS RETURN IN SUPERGIRL AND THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #33, ON SALE AUGUST 22ND!

My name's Jason and I live in Reynoldsburg, Ohio (eastside of Columbus). My favorite comic, hands down, is Legion of Super-Heroes (which I love ALL eras of)... My collection of Legion comics is pretty impressive (for someone my age, no less :-D), stretching from 1964 'til now (I'd love to have more of the older stuff, but alas, I'm not made of money). I'm a DC junkie in general (Vertigo, too--Sandman is my second all-time fave). I love DC's rich history and mythology (even if it can be twisted and convoluted at times o_O).


FORTY-SEVEN AND COUNTING...

My current buy list:
Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes
Legion Of Super-Heroes In The 31st Century
Countdown
Amazons Attack
Justice League of America
Justice Society of America
The Brave and the Bold

I own/run a Yahoo group dedicated to Legion discussion, with a special focus on the Waid/Kitson series. You can check it out, here: LEGION_3004.

I'm the writer and creator of Tanuki, a brand new webcomic, drawn by Matt Belleair. Show your support by checking it out here on ComicSpace! [I'm looking for one or more guest or longer term artists to help me on the comic... if you're interested, contact me on here or at my email below. Thanks!]

Tenzil Kem's one of my favorites too--one of the oldest comics I have is Adventure Comics #303, his first appearance. (My Legion collection is pretty sparse before the Giffen/Beirbaum #1 in 1989)

One of the things I think Mark Waid needs to rectify in the current version is bringing him in. Being only the cook in the previous version was bad enough!

Trust me, I feel the SAME way!

[ Posted by RedTornado on Feb 2nd, 2007 1:10 AM ]...

Follow-up on the comment below...I just realized, this painting is probably set at that specific point in LSH history just AFTER Chemical King died, (a travesty of a story), and also after Matter-Eater Lad has been "drafted" to serve in his government. You can tell, because Cosmic Boy has his later 70s costume, and Dawnstar is now a member. And about Tenzil...wasn't he the best part of the "Legionnaires" series by the Bierbaums & Chris Sprouse in the early 90s? (one of my favorite LSH runs). He was so funny & cool!

1 Reply [ Latest posted on February 2nd, 2007 8:14 AM ]

Remove[ Posted by mattereaterlad on Feb 2nd, 2007 8:14 AM ]...

Yes he was... plus the few solo Tenzil stories in LSH V4 (the Giffen/Bierbaums series) were hysterical (especially the one where he became Polar Boy's lawyer)... and we can't forget... Matter-Eater LASS!

[ Posted by RedTornado on Jan 31st, 2007 11:55 PM ]...

Re: that Alex Ross "70s era" LSH painting you have posted in your profile. It's gorgeous, but, why-oh-why is Chemical King left out? He even includes Night Girl, (never actually a real Legionnaire), and Tryoc, (a Legionnaire for about 2 seconds), but no Chemical King? Wait a minute...he left out Matter-Eater Lad, too! Oh boy...um...forget I mentioned it!

What, no Tenzil! Argggh! No, it's all good... I'm used to it by now. After all, 26 issues of the new series have been released and Mr. Waid still hasn't introduced our favorite Bismollian!
