Thinking about the four Legionnaires who have appeared on the covers solo - were they there for a reason or did the artists just feel like drawing them? I'd like to think that those four were chosen for a reason.
Dreamer - She's the most puzzling of all. What part has she really played in any of this up to this point? The story's called "Dream" Crime, yet Dreamer has done nothing yet. I think she will play the greatest part in overcoming this threat. Here's how - The illusions that Universo has provided have to have come from somewhere. I think that they came straight from Dreamer herself. Everything that has been seen so far isn't really happening, but WILL happen. Cub growing into an adult, Star Boy's powers losing complete control, and especially an invasion by Apokolips. I think Universo is going to tap into something in Nura's head that is going to frighten him enough to give the Legion a slight advantage. It may also be used to set up future storylines.
Tom Feister's response when I asked him why Dreamer was featured on the cover of The Legion #22:
quote: To be honest Shikari was the first choice. I can't speak for Tony, but she's by far my favorite Legion chick. We pitched it to the mighty Wacker and he laughed and said no, Dreamer is the better choice for the storyline. He was right. Dreamer has much more cleavage...um.. I mean importance in the story.
I'd post the original sketch but we don't have it anymore. I'm still itching to do a hot looking Shikari cover.
Steve, are you listening?
Not sure what conclusions to draw from it, but apparently importance to the story is supposed to play a part in which characters got spotlighted on the covers.

So...maybe Dreamer knows that they are going to win...who knows?
Now THAT'S a thought! Tho old Sensor Double-blind!!! Fooling BOTH the villain AND us. It could get old REALLY fast if they use it for too many cliffhangers, though.

Anyway, that's my two cents. We'll see in a few weeks how far off I am.
SPOOKY, Kid! I LIKE the way your mind works!!!

The ending is definitely going to involve Saturn Girl in a big way otherwise what was the point of ish #20?
The way I see it, Sensor realizing that Imra is the only person who could save the legion from Universo, will feign unconciousness and contact Imra's sub-conciousness in hopes of freeing her. Imra will then have choose between her pretend life with Garth or returning to a reality in which Garth no longer exists. After making the right choice (c'mon, this Saturn Girl we're talking about) Imra takes on Universo backed up by Sensor. Although they are eventually beaten, Universo briefly loses his grip on the legionnaires and is swiftly knocked out by Karate Kid. Unknown to the legionnaires, the huge telepathic battle between Universo and Imra has woken an ancient evil on the other side of the galaxy.
Am I right or am I right?

I think it'll end kinda the way "Bambi vs Godzilla" ended, with Universo as Bambi and Darkseid as Godzilla.

I want Saturn Girl to be seduced by Universo and run off with him to become the new Saturn Queen. In the preboot, Saturn Queen and Universo shared something in common--the hypnotic eye. Having them team up would be an unexpected switch, but it'll never happen.
I hope the squad of 4 from last issue were not an illusion. It's been done too many times. Besides how did the Sensor illusion knock out Vi by throwing the Ferro illusion at her?

Sounds good to me. Having Imra see "Garth" fade away before her eyes would introduce an ironic parallel with Legion Lost, when the team's illusory friends and lovers, created by Imra's mental manipulation, disappear into thin air. It would also serve as the shameless hussy's well-deserved comeuppance -- we're all waiting for that, right?
On the other hand, Bambi v. Godzilla does have its merits.

The idea of Darkseid being woken by the psychic battle is somewhat appealing.
the idea of Dreamer supplying the fodder for Universo is also good.
Still, I'm hoping Chuck Taine bounces in and saves the day...sort of randomly.

I keep thinking of Bambii the pornstar versus RODzilla...
And Universo will be defeated by the rebooted TYROC! Mr. T will yodel and shatter the Big U's monocle in his eye... try holding a universe captive when you've got sumthin' in yer eye, never MIND a shattered monocle!

DAMN STRAIGHT we are!!! I need some Hussy-Come-Uppance and BAD!
Incidentally, Bambi vs. Godzilla is one of the unsung greats of modern cinema.

I'm still not clear on this Bambi vs Godzilla business. Is this something I'll find at Blockbusters or do I have to go to one of those dark little shops with the brown paper covering their windows?
