Is This Why Legion Of Super-Heroes: Millennium Feels Like House Of X #2? (Spoilers)

Not too long ago, Bleeding Cool ran the story, What If… DC Comics' Legion of Super-Heroes and 5G Were Planning a Similar Story to House Of X? I wrote of HOXPOX writer Jonathan Hickman,

Before he took the Marvel shilling (and I understand it was a sizeable shilling) I get the word that he proposed Legion Of Super-Heroes reboot event storyline at a DC Writers event, that also tied into The Green Lantern. And that included a very similar storyline.

And while Hickman eventually moved to Marvel, parts of that storyline suck around DC Comics planning. And may still be present in the upcoming Legion Of Super-Heroes: Millennium and what Bleeding Cool has referred to as 5G, a major planned DC Comics event.

Reading Legion Of Super-Heroes: Millennium #1 today, I couldn't help be struck by similarities between the story of Rose of Rose And Thorn, and that of Moira MacTaggert.

Moira MacTaggert lives her life, dies, then is reincarnated as herself and lives her life all over again. Making changes. But the end, we get the same conclusion, the death of mutants, happening again and again and again. The series is her attempt to try and break out of that cycle of reset, reboot and rebirth.

I mean, she didn't even know she was a mutant to begin with. She's always been presented as someone without a power set.

And she has had every conversation possible to imagine in those ten lifetimes of hers… she knows just what everyone is going to do.

Could this storyline have been inspired by Jonathan Hickman's original plans? Is this what certain DC Comics executives were rather annoyed about when they read House Of X #2? It is certainly not the same… but it does feel very familiar.

Unless of course, we are just whipping something up when there was never anything there…
