Legion of Super-Heroes #11-14

Legion of Super-Heroes #11-14
A VERY GOOD and satisfying conclusion to the arc that has lasted since issue #1(?).
Anyways, here's a breakdown of points for each issue, just a quick runthrough including some quibbles and nitpicks, some lists, some gobbledygook translations, and some other stuff:

Legion of Super-Heroes #11

Gobbledygook:
7.1: just a little rattled
say, what's that noise
7.2: who's speaking an alien language? wait, that racket
7.5: here we go!
Thing spoof by Chameleon on page 11.
Backup feature is brilliant, relating classic comics covers to "actual" Legionnaire poses.

Legion of Super-Heroes #12
Roll call same as previous
Nitpick: Shady shouldn't be able to cast darkness, Sun Boy should.
Atom Girl (Salu Digby)/Imskia/shrinking to atomic size
16.2 Gibberish:
[chants some incantation that I swear I'll come up with in plenty of time for us to have it lettered]
I guess Waid never came up with it, did he now? This is similar to Bendis and his "insert threatening alien kree font dialogue here" from Avengers #503
Projectra revealed to be able to project illusions

Legion of Super-Heroes #13
Colossal Boy's name is really Micro Lad
Letters: Polar Boy

Legion of Super-Heroes #14
The letters column verifies my understanding that Batman initiated the Brother I/Eye project after the JLA's mindwiping of Dr. Light.
