You'll need to be patient with me as I'm still looking through the images for July. But I did manage to grab the Legion image already. Not sure who the artist is but it appears a certain person is still hanging around. And, unfortunately, it definitely isn't up to the quality we are used to with Barry.
Just added, the one we've all been waiting for. Perez and the Legion!
Think that's it for the month.

What the hell is that supposed to be in the corner of the BaB cover? The mind boggles and wanders in to territories usually only visited by Pov.

heh Batman's wearing a Legion flight ring. I always thought it would be Robin.

I'm assuming JSA #7 is the final part of the Lightning Saga. Since JLA seems to have gone on while JSA was postponed for a month I think #7 is the finale.

Dream Girl's alive and well. But, no Cosmic Boy, Projectra, Timber Wolf, or Sun Boy. Wonder what that means...?

I am just tired of Supergirl. I'd really like to see some Legion covers that don't feature her prominently.

Scott are you talking about the lower right side that looks like two pink blobs? I wondered that too, but when I looked at the whole cover, it appears to be the same background as the top, with the Legion only appearing in the darkness of Batman's cape.
Hey, it's either that or Proty... ( )

re: SLoSH #32 cover - I don't mind it. Brainiac 5 looks a bit weird but Cham and Supergirl look pretty good. That said, Supergirl is worse than pre-boot Superboy when it comes to hogging cover space - I'd be really sick of her if I was actually still reading this book.
re: B&B #5 cover - is it possible to be simultaneously elated and disappointed. On the one hand we're getting my favourite team drawn by my favourite artist in one of my favourite current books. On the other hand it is this worthless 3boot version of the team and Perez seems to have turned in FAR from his best work. What on earth has happened to Thom, Lyle and Tasmia?
re: JSoA #7 cover - Alex Ross is a great artist and the shine effect on Citizen Steel's costume is excellent but I'm looking forward to seeing Ross finish up these spotlight covers and doing something a little different with them.

There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.

That's Perez? My God man! That's awful!
Shadow Lass looks like she's being played by Michael Jackson-pretending-to-be-Marilyn Manson!
Plus the blobby pink space-bosums are really distracting...
And yes, Supergirl and her less-popular-sidekicks #32 has yet more wasted space dedicated to people who aren't Supergirl, I see. They aren't killing them off fast enough. Soon the title will be properly renamed Supergirl in the 30th Century and they'll get rid of this 'Legion of Super-Heroes' stuff that's detracting from Kara's screentime.

Since I happen to find the LoSH cover fantastic I'll now rave about its very dynamic look, cool perspective and composition. I also really like the pencil outlines, strong in some places and cancelled out in others. Can't quite decide whether there's something wonky about Kara's eyes, though.
Before having the cape thing pointed out I mistook the right hand pink space on the B&B cover for some kind of asymmetrical space-butt. All those misconceptions of naked, free-floating anatomy probably stem from the cover's flatness - there's no perceptible depth to it. Maybe coloring it differently will help in that regard, but surely won't help with certain... well, facial oddities some of those poor Legionnaires are sporting.

Yah my first thought at the B&tB was that there was a digital fill covering a spoiler. Of course they could all be trapped in the Power Girl Nebula.
I actually want to know who did that Slosh cover too. The more I look at it the more I like it.
