Supergirl and the Legion of Super-heroes #30 - DC


This issue wraps up the Dominator storyline. I think it also wraps up Mark Waid's and Barry Kitson's run on this book. It also wraps up Mon-El's and Cosmic Boy's run as Legionaires. Mon-el's fate is wrapped up in that of the Dominators. The Legion has taken the fight back to the Dominator home-world. And they've set them back quite a ways with their plans. They also found the tech necessary to beat the tech-virus that was released back on earth. But, before they leave, they have to decide what to do with the Dominators. True they've been set back. But . . . they will rebuild. And when they do so, they'll come back at them with an even greater vengeance. Also they've found out that there plans include releasing all the Dominator hybrids, which there's millions of, out in to the galaxy. Thereby spreading the Dominator genetic code beyond anyone's control. So if they can't win one way. They'll win another. Well . . . that won't fly with the Legion. Basically Cosmic Boy comes up with a plan to destroy their planet. But the only person strong enough to carry it out . . . is Mon-el. So he flies in to the planet and blows it up, as the Legion return home. Well come to find out, it was all a ruse. Only Cosmic Boy, Dream Boy and Phantom Girl know that the real plan involved Brainiac 5 making a Phantom Zone projector strong enough to swallow the whole planet. So right now, the whole Dominator planet, and Mon-el, are back to being stuck in the Zone. Only the rest of the world actually thinks that he took them all out. But he doesn't mind taking the blame, because he doesn't want to be leader anymore anyways. But then, 3 people, saying they're from the 41st century, and members of the Knights Tempus, have come back to invite Cos to join their team. And with the unfolding of the previous events . . . he's decided to join them. Which is what begins the new story-line which will unfold in the next story-arcs. Mark and Barry . . . I'm sad to see you go. You've laid a great foundation for this new title here. And the Legion is . . . well . . . the Legion. They're a great group of characters that will be around for a long time. I just hope the next creative team does them justice. So long, and adieu!
