Write up coming later today.

Artist error?

Why is Mon-El's uniform drawn wrong in the latest issue of Superman?

And what's up with the boxer type shorts?



This is the proper way his costume should look:



Oddly enough though, in Legion of 3 Worlds, Mon-El has the black belt like the first image here, though the Classic Mon-El has the yellow one. In fact, the Mon-El from the Threeboot is drawn exactly like the Classic Mon-El.

An "Origins and Omens" issue! Mon-El has been trapped in the Phantom Zone since Superman was a teenager, and now he might finally be able to return to Earth! But how will he overcome the fatal lead poisoning that kept him away for so long? And with all the changes the blockbuster "New Krypton" storyline wrought, would he even recognize the planet he left behind?

Meanwhile, life continues to be difficult for Superman thanks to Earth's growing anti-Kryptonian sentiment. "New Krypton" may be over, but its fallout has only begun! To be continued in SUPERMAN #685, which you can find on page 68!

--------------------

My thoughts: With Superman leaving Action comics, at least for a while, I wonder if Mon-El will be featured in the comic?
