DAMN I want to read that next page so bad!

Aertho

So Lance Harrower was supposed to be the Seventh Soldier from Zero? The one with "cold feet"?

LDones

04:57 / 15.12.05

There's nothing to that effect in the preview, but it's sure a possibility.

Do wives have to make up for the sins of their husbands? Let's ask Gloriana and Mrs. Klarion.

I'm not sure Mrs. Klarion can talk, seeing as she tried to burn her own son at the stake...

Keith, like a scientist

wow, i have to re-read Zero again, because I didn't quite get the stuff about Luke-Spider. Or is that new information?

too bad my lil theory about Lil Hollywood being the old/young girl from Zatanna has been shot down.

It's new info about the Spyder. I was given to understand that the Shade had killed Spyder's brother, in his long-standing tradition of killing Ludlows; I'm still hoping he's somehow referenced in SS#1.

I could see it as possible that the Spyder took the job to find the Seven Unknown Men in Slaughter Swamp because of it's connection to Solomon Grundy's origins, Grundy being a past associate of the Shade's, and therefore a possible connection for finding and killing him. Only, of course, he got swept up into an epic and was transformed...

Alix was the Seventh Soldier from ZERO.

Imaginary Mongoose Solutions

02:35 / 16.12.05

Gawwwwww damn! That's awesome.

Mario

02:42 / 16.12.05

That fits so beautifully....

Quimper

16:25 / 16.12.05

Holy cow!

Unthrown spears are fun.
Maybe Frank'll fastball special our lovely phallic superwoman to victory?
The one-issue capper is going have a lot to answer for, running in the hyperfast jumpcut-the-info manner most Morrison series climax with, but in a oneshot....

Betting the smartskin makes Alix invulnerable to spine-riders.

Aertho

15:32 / 17.12.05

Betting the smartskin is what prevented her from going on the plane to Arizona.

Skin as familiar/sidekick/conscience? I like it.

Kirk Ultra

00:41 / 18.12.05

I can't help but wonder how close the symbolism will be between the smartskin and the magic mirror from The Invisibles.

Aertho

01:16 / 18.12.05

Huh? I could entertain an understanding of what you mean, but? Both are silver? Both have sentient qualities?

Smartskin's an important aspect of Alix, and not something we've examined much. What are you thinking, Kirk?

Yotsuba & Benjamin!

17:24 / 21.12.05

Just a quick note. Bulleteer #1 now officially takes place before SS #0.

Also, pretty much everything about the entire series is laid bare. And I have to go back and read Klarion #3. Morrison, you diabolical...

17:25 / 21.12.05

Getting this after work. More giddy about it than I was about #1.

Aertho

23:45 / 21.12.05

Holy cats. All the Seven Soldiers lore is being wrapped up here. I shouldn't have expected less really, but the retrofit of Iron Hand and Boy Blue and the his horn and Neb-U-Loh and Sheeda... and werewolves!

Boy Blue, named Drew.

Get Klarion 3 and Zero out folks.

Aertho

00:00 / 22.12.05

And Sky High Hell Again calls it: Sidhe from the future.

Mario

02:36 / 22.12.05

I wonder...could Blue's horn be one of the Seven Treasures?

Mario

02:39 / 22.12.05

Oh yes, and Drew isn't Boy Blue's name. It's the verb in that sentence.

Mario

13:56 / 22.12.05

Furthermore, it looks like the Black Baron and Big Caesar are both old Vigilante villains. I would assume "Little Joe Goss" is the same.

Quimper

14:33 / 22.12.05

Damn. You gotta love Sky High Helligan. Pieces it together at the buzzer.

And who knew she had to get to the wedding to *stop* it.

And...uh...what's up with Sara? Such a mad-on already.

Mario

15:05 / 22.12.05

Sara=Sonic Sally?

The Natural Way

16:53 / 22.12.05

Clearly.

Aertho

16:56 / 22.12.05

Sally Sonic, 50s British Superteen. Are there any references for such a character in the DCU?

Quimper

17:28 / 22.12.05

Only in Zatanna #1. I'm assuming that's Sally Sonic...the immortal 16-year old from the therapy group.

But according to the solicitations, Sally Sonic is an embittered British superteen from the 1940s. So she's one and the same.

Aertho

17:32 / 22.12.05

Well yes, I'm familiar with the girl's quotes and scenes from 7S, but I'm wondering if Sally Sonic is an actual reclaimed property from the past, ie Zod, etc.

Mario

19:02 / 22.12.05

Not as far as I can tell. Given that she's British, I thought she might be related to the Sally comic put out by IPC in the late 60's & 70's. But I can't find an analogue

Wow! Finally got the chance to read this. Helligan again! Neb-u-loh's connection to the original Nebula Man, what this all means...what the connection to the original Seven Soldiers is. An' dirty little Boy Blue - was that the secret use of the horn, to summon the Riders?

Boboss

16:25 / 23.12.05

Er, yeah.

Mark Parsons

20:50 / 23.12.05

Now THAT'S a cool issue! I tought ish 1 was a tad thin & dissapointing after all that had come b4 it, but am now psyched for this series again. Alas, MM has inherited the mantle of "dubious potential dog" amongst the 7S titles. Fingers crossed for an upturn there too...

Imaginary Mongoose Solutions

16:27 / 26.12.05

So, did the Vigilante or the original Seven Soldiers have a thing with Werewolves? Because while I really dug this ish, that whole Werewolf thing came from out of the blue for me.
