War makes us Weapons

Dreamer reflects on the Khund training which means that she now has far better control of her precognition at the cost of never sleeping, on her visions which hadn't been wrong in months, on the part she'd played as a result in keeping even a few Xanthians alive... and on a few of the visions themselves, including one of Shikari, one of Element Lad as the Progenitor, and one of Star Boy's grave...

LEGION WORLDS #4

Written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning; art by Duncan Rouleau, Rick Leonardi, Aaron Sowd, and Al Williamson; cover by John Cassaday.

The journey across the galaxy continues, heading for Xanthu, homeworld of Star Boy and the Uncanny Amazers. A year ago, Star Boy left the Legion and took his girlfriend Dreamer back to Xanthu. But now the planet is caught in the middle of a war with the invading forces of Robotica! Aided only by fellow former Legionnaire XS and the Amazers, Star Boy and Dreamer, they find themselves outnumbered, outgunned and unable to get help from any other world, In the backup feature (illustrated by Rick Leonardi and Al Williamson), take a closeup look at Star Boy and Dreamer's past...and future(?) together.

48 pages, $3.95, arrives in stores on July 18.
