Acts of Valor: Monny Shot

"Talking 'bout that Monny, Monny, Monny..."

I always thought that Mon-El was one of

those characters that just had an essentially 

sexualized quality.... 

not just because he was big and beefy and sturdy,

nor powerful and strong.

I liked his boy-next-door, good-natured quality

that came from his suffering and uniqueness,

giving him more depth than just old boy scout

Clark.

There's just something adorable and passionate and

alluring about him, and of course there's the

wounded soul thing which appeals to us care-takers!

He's hot but he doesn't really know he's hot.

He's an average, nice Joe College...with

a little something-something extra.

And, then too, pictures like this don't

hurt his station as sexy beast!

L.E.G.I.O.N.

Although not a complete fan of the series, it

had an engaging enough premise (a

continuation of "Invasion!"'s setting up

of Legion history) and enough attractions

that it was interesting.

Attractions like great art, the return of
Captain Comet, bitchy old Lady Quark,

Mon-El, and actual Legion ancestors.

Not a single one of these boobs was

a heroic sort, it often seemed, and a

book chock full of anti-heroes makes for

good dramatic tension, but a few too many

jackasses here for my tastes.

Hate Lobo, hated QD, etc.

But all in all, a mostly fun read for

a good portion of the run.

(Loved how the Bierbaums resolved

the Phase storyline!)
