I liked Kolins on the Flash, I actually prefered his art to Porter's, however, I can't see him doing a team book. His art never struck me as being able to handle lots of people at once, he did great cities and placing individuals in them, but I couldn't see him doing a story where 10 people are all fighting at once and being able to keep track of them.
Still, I like his art and wouldn't mind seeing him and Geoff working together on an individual title, but just don't see it for a team book (of course there aren't that many artists that I actually see doing a team book anyways)

They just have to get Pérez, who loves team books and did every one of them out on the market - except for the Legion, which ironically was his favorite comic book when he was young.
So? Any further questions? Give him the money he's asking for, get him of Brave and the Bold and let him do his magic - and we have a winner book in our hands...

Steve Lightle also loves the Legion and has expressed his desire to be the artist on the book many times. His art was and is fantastic! Considering there are few good artists who want to draw a comic with a gazillion characters are, it doesn't make sense NOT giving it to artists who want to do it and have proven their previous runs on the Legion were successful and loved. Like Perez (of course) or Lightle.

While I was a huge fan of Perez back in the Teen Titans day, his more recent stuff doesn't work for me as well. I don't know if he's changed artistically, or my tastes have. Steve Lightle, on the other hand, drew some great Legion.
Maybe it's because I first saw Lightle's art on the Legion, and I've mentally pigeon-holed Perez as 'the Titans artist' and can't adjust to his work on other titles (like the Avengers, which didn't look quite right under his pen, IMO).

Oh really loved his Avengers stuff, Set, so I have to disagree. But I can understand your feelings because I was not overly happy with his recent work on "BatB". I thought it might have been the Inker.
Lightle was very good in his glory Legion days as well, though i believe he did far less issues than you would think back then. It was LaRoque who was on board for most of the Baxter run. I especially liked Lightles cover art!

Yes, LaRoque and Lightle were the greatest in the Baxter series. Lightle though is a Legion mega-fan and that's why he even drew very distinct facial characteristics for every Legionnaire. I couldn't believe that he went to all this "trouble"! And his last Legion issue - the one featuring Umbra in the DnA run - shows that he's stil "got it".
Anyways, there may very well be a new artist out there who'll be the next <add favorite Legion artist name>.

Considering this f***ed up cover, you really have to wonder why DC would go to the trouble and make this "artist" go DC-exclusive......
He reminds me of all those forgotten 90s Marvel artists like Bill Jaaska (New Titans) whose art was so horrible to behold, it was an insult to the fans to even publish this stuff. Back then, you got the feeling that TPTB just did not care about the fans. I do not want to live through another example of that.

Scott Kolins is one of the best artists in the industry. I think you guys are being hypercritical for no reason. I looked at cover you've been talking about, and that looks nothing like Kolins' art. Are you sure he did that cover? (EDIT: Nevermind, I see his name there. It still doesn't look like his usual art... but I do like it better than the Calero covers)
And if you don't think Kolins can do large action scenes, you should check out the Flash: Crossfire trade.
Anyway, I'm hoping that one of those projects Geoff is working on is the "Legion of Three Worlds" story. That would be fun and there have been hints that we'll see it next year. And is it too much to hope that that is the project Perez is leaving Brave and the Bold for (after #12)?

I never thought Jaaska's work was that bad; just bland. You know, it was just there . Nothing about it ever jumped out at you.

Had a look at that. The artwork is lovely. But Shadow Lass looks more like a porn star than a super heroine! I know her costumes have traditionally been on the skimpy side but this is ridiculous. She's virtually naked! And those shoes with those 6 inch heels? Again, it looks like something a woman on a porn website would wear. Not appropriate.
Not because I'm prudish about sex, but I do object to women being objectified.
The other sketches are better. But why do Lydda and Ayla both have to have heels? Ayla in particular has always struck me as a sensible shoes kind of girl, but that's just me!
Someone really ought to tell Gary Frank that *gasp* women's shoes with flat heels *do* exist!
Artists that put all women characters in high heels piss me off. Long standing peeve of mine. Not all women like or want to wear heels dammit!

I totally agree that high-heeled boots are inappropriate for a variety of reasons. Objectification issues aside, I also think that it would be very hard to run and fight in high-heeled boots, too.

For that matter, who needs to push the tush when you have a Legion Flight Ring? Why do any of them walk? Are there no-flight rules inside the clubhouse? Tenz would just have so much fun with a flight ring.

I loved Kollins' work on Flash. His Gorrila Grod issue stands as one of my all time favorites. I've left that issue on the night stand and stared at that art for days.
on another note, a story behind Shady's crotch armor I think is warranted. Something, maybe like an achilles "heal" kind of story from ancient Talak.
time "sphere?"
