But like, I don't get it. Where is this "may not see you again" coming from? Where is that said or even implied? Rucka and Bendis, in both the comics and interviews, have done nothing but make clear that an appropriate comparison for Jon's relationship to the Legion would be to compare it to going off to college/university. And I mean.....isn't it a thing to say goodbye to your parents before you go to college? And because it's "college" one can assume there will be "between semester breaks", holidays, and just the occasional random weekend visit because your homesick, wanna wash your clothes, and get some home cooking in your belly. I mean, Bendis even says that they will be going back and forth between the present and the future. Also it's confirmed that Damian will be visiting. So, I don't get how this is "nice knowing you"?
Anyways, great issue as usual. The Lois and Jon stuff navigated their voices really well, and the pride and love both have for one another was great. That Checkmate stuff has me super interested, and the Question stuff had more more interested than I thought it would. Also big shout out to the art. Good lord. Jon's speed feat on the first page was beautifully rendered. Moved so fast that he left the water that was on him behind in a perfect afterimage drying himself. And 4 am pizza and "you're my hero" made me smile.
