"Qui sème le vent récolte la tempête."
Superboy & The Legion of Superheroes #244, "A Madman Shall Lead Them"
This comes from the "League of Super-Assassins" storyline, which introduces Blok, a member of the league. Blok would eventually aid the Legion (SLSH #270) and become a Legionnaire. However, here's he's having his *ss served to him by Polar Boy from the Subs.
The two-part story itself was not outstanding and had an obvious plot hole so large Anna Nicole Smith could stumble through it. But I liked these panels because they're classic Blok: introspective and not given to rashness. A great Blok scene, even if he was technically a bad guy at the time and the dialogue is a slightly altered version of an old proverb.
Since I've panned the overall story today and bad-mouthed its author, Gerry Conway, earlier in the week, I am obligated to say this: "During his tenure, Conway made a significant contribution to the Legion mythos when he created Blok."
There, I said something nice about Conway's run on the Legion. Make a note. Tell your children. Have them tell their children. Pass this moment down through the ages. It may never happen again!
