Legion Magic: Mon-El
Magic Comments:Quite a powerful card. At times I wonder if the casting cost is too low, and then I look at the Akroma cards and think its OK. I have been thinking of taking the tap requirement out of his two abilities, though.
Legion Magic: Shadow Lass
Legion Comments:
Shadow Lass is the planetary champion of Talok VIII. She can see in the dark, and controls a black energy called the Darkfield. Using the Darkfield she can create total darkness, make Darkfield constructs, and control shadows to a degree.
Magic Comments:
Her powers were a good fit with the shadow ability. Making her blue/black gives access to the majority of the shadow spells & creatures.

The newest preview for the Crisis set is none other than the winged Legionnaire Dawnstar! That's a great looking sculpt.
Comics: The holds list. Spoilers!
Countdown to Final Crisis #16: Monarch starts his war at the tail-end of the multiverse, Earth 51. I wonder who the “he” is that has been manipulating Monitor Bob? My first guess is Darkseid. At least something is happening in this book…too bad it took 36 issues. 3/5
The Twelve #1(of 12): I loved the aged cover! The art team of Weston, Leach, & Chuckry did a great job, and Straczynski’s writing had it’s usual captivating effect on me. Twelve heroes are trapped by the Nazis and left in suspended animation for 60+ years, only to be reawakened in our near future of Aug. 8, 2008. Hopefully, because of the jump, they'll be able to avoid the Skrull invasion. I feel for Rockman(who either has to be wondering why his people never came to help, or is insane) and Captain Wonder(who lost his family to time and Vietnam.) I initially thought the culprit was Master Mind Excello, who can see limitedly into the future, but now I'm leaning toward Black Widow & Dynamic Man. I think it was pointedly shown that neither of them raised their hands to signify their allegiance. The high hopes I had for this title have been somewhat diminished by the fact that the protagonists have been brought into the modern time Marvel Universe. I was expecting a stand alone golden age mini-series…guess I should read the solicits & interviews better. Despite that, I'm still looking forward to the next issue. I wonder if it will tie into the upcoming Avengers/Invaders crossover? 4.5/5
