Many of you have let me know that some of my image pairings & arrangements pop up in other venues such as Facebook Swipe groups (esp. the great COMICS SWIPES Facebook group). Well, I'm flattered the posts are popular and that people enjoy PANELOCITY's swipes and "inspired bys", regardless of where they are presented. After all, the Internet is meant for sharing, right?

Adventure #521 and the Legion of Super-Heroes

I came across this opening splash to the 2011 Legion story in Adventure Comics #521.  And I'm sure you can guess 😄what I'm going to say next: 

This image immediately reminded me of a panel from the Silver Age!

Can you guess what the above Legion image reminded me of?

Keep scrolling

Hint: think of another super team.











Okay, here we go!


The characters' positions and placement reminded me of Captain America and the Scarlet Witch in this panel from John Buscema's Avengers #44 (1967)

Another view--ah, the déjà vu 😁
As noted earlier:

I am a huge fan of Big John Buscema's Avengers, so I truly madly deeply love 💕this callback!
