The Future

Holy crap. Check out the solicitations for April 2007. Specifically, take in The Brave and The Bold #3. Yes, that is indeed The Fatal Five, my favorite team of supervillains from any century.

I find that solicit especially intriguing, as their appearance in that particular book has implications for the future. Consider the following: because of continuity changes with the Legion, The Fatal Five doesn't technically exist in continuity.

Yet.

You see, Mark Waid -- the man writing the most recent relaunch of Legion of Super-Heroes -- is also writing The Brave and the Bold. A book where Blue Beetle and Batman will fight them, and in a perfect world get their asses kicked by a team that can take on the frickin' Legion.

That aside, this may be a signal of things to come. Are we getting a preview of the future of Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes? Will Mark Waid finally give me what I asked for so very long ago?

Offer's still open, Waid. You got toilets that need scrubbing?
