LNH/LNH20: Cover Gallery #1012i/#50i????

[Jeanne Morningstar]

Members of the Classic and LNH20 Legion are battling it out in space, 
with the Classic Legion coming in from the left and the Twentyverse 
Legion from the right. In the center of the cover Ultimate Ninja [II]'s 
katana clashes with Nerf Girl's Sword of Sig. Fearless Leader (classic) 
charges in opposite Fearless Leader  (20), Merissa agiainst Pantra, 
Cheesecake Eater Lad against Otherkin Lad. Catalyst Lass stands on an 
asteroid in one corner pointing the team onward, and January Frost in 
another.

In the corner, Doc Nostalgia is fighting it out with Kid Not Appearing 
In Any Retcon Hour Story. Doc Nostalgia is holding up the issue number 
#1012 and Kid NAIARRHS is holding up #50, and they're each trying to 
shove their number into the corner box.

[A banner on top says "Special 50th issue!" with "50th" hastily crossed 
out and replaced by "1012th" in red ink.

Caption: This is the big one! Two legions! Brought together by the 
Collector and the Speculator to fight the ultimate battle--for the issue 
number!]

Notes:

I was thinking again about comics renumbering shenanigans, and the two 
Squirrel Girl series which are referred to as Squirrel Girl (2015) and 
Squirrel Girl (2015B). One advantage of the LNH over official superhero 
comics is that both are extremely silly but the LNH . Squirrel Girl is 
one of the few comics that really does and it's better because of that. 
The LNH is on that level all the time but it's also exciting and 
harrowing sometimes too. The tonal variation in the LNH makes it a 
really powerful source of imaginative energy. It's also been one of the 
most supportive environments I've ever been in as a trans person, an 
important source of personal growth and figuring out my identity, and it 
helped me meet the love of my life, so thanks to everyone who helped 
make all that possible. Sorry, this is an anniversary issue so I had to 
get sentimental for a little bit.

And I'm sorry this one took so long to write, Drew. :P
