In this issue: Doctor Ten heads for America, but will he have his TARDIS? Doctor Horrible heads for the hills, but is it really Doogie Howser? Doctor Regulus tries to kill the Legion, but they don’t die… THEY MULTIPLY! Plus: Rocky Marciano? Rocky Mariciano? Clark Kent was 257 years old when he fought Rocky Marciano… And: There’s women present, so Stephen and I have to clean up the house and wear pants during the show. THEN: Three kids come back in time to tell Christopher Reeve that the underwear goes INSIDE the pants, but it’s pretty clear that his resume may not be up to date. Either way, Rodrigo’s at volleyball, and Dante has finally stopped vomiting, so the world is a happier place…

Last time out, Kon-El caught up with Wonder Girl, the love of his life and founding member of Young Justice. She told him of her grief-fueled kiss with Tim Drake, who was Robin at the time, and they forgave one another for youthful indiscretions and/or untimely death. This discussion seems to have spurred Kon to look up his ex-best pal, but the new Red Robin (YUMMM!) is somewhat busy trying to track down a millionaire who is stuck in a cave somewhere… Will their reunion be as cordial as the first?

Connor Kent’s return from the dead has not been without it’s complications. Last issue, we saw his attempts to get back to normal and figure out the Superman side of his genetic makeup. Problem is, he’s also trying to figure out his other genetic donor, one Lex Luthor. Kon-El is headed down a slippery slope, and the return of Cassandra Sandsmark to his life ain’t gonna make things any less confusing…
Dan Didio just sent the following to the DC Universe groups
You may have heard that Paul Levitz will be once again adding his considerable talent, drive and creativity to our ever expanding universe as a regular DC Comics writer.
So, what’s his first writing assignment?
Paul is returning to the title he made great as both a writer and editor, ADVENTURE COMICS, and with his eyes set to the future, he brings several of his favorite characters with him. ADVENTURE is the first in a number of projects, both ongoing and mini-series that Paul will be taking on as he joins of our list of top notch creators here at DC.
As Executive Editor, and as a fan, I can’t wait for him to get started.

Well I think Matthew will certainly be happy with this news, as will many of the Legion of Super Heroes fans.

“Boss, boss! I got the next big thing in them funnybooks! We’ll call it “Adventure Comics #1!” This ought to be a big hit, see? And we’re thinking that if this Adventure thing works out, we’ve got something called Action Comics ready to go, and Detective Comics in the wings, and maybe even a Fun Comics if we’re freeling really froogy. As soon as we get back from seeing this new play called “Our Town,” we should think of things to put in this here new comics book. Maybe some sort of future characters with bubble helmets and flyin’ belts! Ooh, and y’know that Superman thing Joe and I have been working on for the last couple years? How ’bout we do that same character, only as a boy, see? That way, my kids can sue the pants off the company in 70 years or so! Let’s hope President Roosevelt can put a lid on that Spanish Civil War thingy so this book will sell like hotcakes!”
Dan DiDio spoke with the LA Times this past weekend to hype talk up the major story arcs happening in the big titles. He also revealed the company is bringing back Adventure Comics.
Simultaneous to “Battle for the Cowl,” we’re going to be making changes in Superman’s world as well. Superman has been the star of “Action Comics” for its entire run, essentially, and he will be leaving it and handing it over to new characters. The only time he hasn’t appeared in the book, I believe, was after “The Death of Superman,” in those years. So this is a lot of fun for us. I think that’s going to get people excited and scratching their heads and wondering what’s going on. In his own book, “Superman,” there will be a dramatic turn as the hero leaves Earth and it seems like he’s leaving for good. We’ll follow his adventures in space more so than his adventures on Earth, and that’s a big and exciting thing. We’re also bringing back one of the old-time favorite titles of DC Comics, “Adventure Comics.” It will be back with a new No. 1 and with new stars but old stars at the same time. It’ll be pretty easy to guess who will be the stars of “Adventure Comics” if you know who the title was most identified with…
Now you know where the Legion of Super-Heroes will appear following the ending of the LoSH title. Heck maybe we’ll see Manhunter, Aquaman, Plastic Man, and Dial H for Hero make appearances there too.
