It's the end of a decade, and the 2010s have... not been very kind to the Legion of Super-Heroes
or its fans.
Actually, the 2010s haven't been good for anyone.
Following the end of
The New 52 Legion in 2013, the Legion was in an extended period of getting pulled in and out of Comic Book Limbo several times. Delegated to guest appearances in other comics (
Justice League United and
Smallville), getting turned into an evil knock off of itself (
Justice League 3001), and having its return teased throughout DC Rebirth (
Batman and
Supergirl), the Legion finally gained a new ongoing title this year by Brian Michael Bendis and Ryan Sook.
From 2010 to 2019 there have been a handful of new Legionnaires joining the already plentiful ranks, including Chemical Kid, Dragonwing, Glorith II, Harmonia Li, Comet Queen, Monster Boy, Gold Lantern, and Superboy Jon Kent (whether he counts as Superboy III, IV, or V I haven't determined).
However, just before this decade comes to a close, Geoff Johns sneaked in one more new Legionnaire in the final issue of
Doomsday Clock. While many are still working out the notion of
Doomsday Clock finally ending after two years of delays, it was especially easy to miss the newbie. Oh, and she only appears shoulder up in ONE panel, so of course some (most?) missed her.
So, just before 2020 enters, let's take the time to look at SOULTAKER.
