Just checking - where is this coming from? Ferro, quite literally, has no family or friends or anywhere to go outside the Legion. Just because he accepted Val's challenge/retort to his sarcastic remark to try and "find himself" (in true "New Age" fashion) doesn't mean there's any sort of "romance" at all. He didn't exactly have anywhere else to go after the team was disbanded anyway.

I take it to be wishful thinking from a fanbase that probably feels underrepresented in the medium.

(And though it hasn't been proven to be the case yet, it certainly hasn't been disproven either!)
Maybe we'll get to see more of the Val/Andy romance next issue if Val will STOP letting Clone-El borrow his clothes! Andy's gonna get his feelings hurt if this continues!!

The connection with Ferro's established fashion design hobby in this issue just hit me as well! That's pretty cool... I bet he's a big hit with the Athramites.

I doubt it - they're probably more annoyed at his interference than anything else.

Darksied's apperance. Who's been taking pot shots at him, I wonder? The friction between Cos and Kon-el. (I havn't seen enough of the clone to be irritated by him, yet.) Vi speaks!!! I wasn't sure she still could. It's not enough, but it's a start. Kid Q's power problems. Lyle and Brainy finishing each other's sentences. How cute. The athramites are back! I really get a kick out of the little guys. Nice to see Ferro's still into fashion. Shikari's not in this issue. I was really getting anoyed by how much panel time she gets.
What I'm undecided on: Jarth. "I just don't get these..." I just don't get why Brainy's talking like that, but DnA have had a good handle on him from the start, so I'll write it off as a typo. I know Cos and Jaz have had five weeks to get romantic, but it doesn't seem that long to me. I would have liked to have seen it develop more.
What I didn't like: Vi's swearing again. It sort of makes sense in a fight, but we really need to see more of her character. No Gates.

I did get a bit stuck on the detail inconsistencies in the art. They should just ALL have transuit armbands showing! I like how we Legion fans try to explain creator mistakes, with in-story logic.
The cover art had some mistakes. Cos should have fingerless gloves on. A couple of his fingernails were actually colored black. (It was the background showing through.) Why were Cos' utility belt packs brown and not grey? Superboy was in the Superman costume, but shouldn't have been, in that scene. Why was Cos spitting and Superboy bleeding? So weird. Ferro should have been colored all silver/grey. I'd have expected TnT to do a kewl effect to show his metallic state. Jeka's arm around the servant's neck wasn't colored right. Was TnT given too short a deadline? Sometimes there is no in-story explanation for these things, simply creator errors.
Batista is doing a great job overall, though. I note that Jeka's hair seems to be thinning. I wonder if this is intentional?
I noticed the lack of interaction between Jo and Tinya.
I was annoyed by Violet doing NOTHING!
I think Imra is being VERY nice to Garth. He is in a very awkward position, right now. I'm SURE something dramatic is going to happen...
Love that Jaz has these weird time blips! Can't wait to see what it is.
Brainy and Lyle are great together. I'm glad to see Lyle do anything at this point.
Jaz and Coz as a couple is nice, to me.
Nura's "there is no future" scene is classic, over the top, dramatic Dream Girl for ya! LLL!
Kon's "Talk to the Hand" shirt cracks me up. Out of all the shirts in all the universe, this is the one he gets. I like Lash's jokes about it.
LOVE the shot of Superboy in the Superman outfit!
This story arc makes being a Legion fan fun. Lots of stuff for us to play with.

Alright, I don't think anyone said this yet, but I think we've all missed something very important: THE TIME TRAPPER IS IN THIS ISSUE.
Check out the page where Jaz, Cos, Brainy, Imra, Lu and Lyle are all sitting around. There is a panel where KQ stops talking and Lu says "Uh...Kid?". In the backround of the very next panel, you can see the Time Trapper standing there looking at the Legionnaires. If you look at the previous two panels (where everyone is exactly in the same spot), he's not there, and now suddenly shows up during the time-blip. It's definately him, just look, hood and everything.
So maybe it's the Time Trapper that is the main villian of this whole arc! Who knows, but I'm positive he's in this issue!

Oh, I really like the way Cos is getting all the spotlight on him all of a sudden! Especially the romance with Jazmin.
But... could this be because DnA have a Time Trapper story planned that he is a major part of? Since he was the Time Trapper in a previous continuity, and Jaz has time powers, could the coupling of these two be something DnA are doing on purpose to affect the Trapper.
With Kon, Clark (?) and the Cub all experiencing time-annonamlies (sp?), this is starting to get interesting...

Pushing things a bit for a faded-out character in the background with a hood (not a robe, a hood - notice the chest circle) - it may just be a Durlan or somesuch.
But, since you made me get the issue out to have a look at it, I noticed another odd thing on the same page - why did Triad look at Dreamer to say "uhhh... Kid?" (Nura looks back @ Lu too). It just seems odd - if you were trying to get someone's attention, would you look @ someone else while you were doing it?

It is a pretty odd sequence, isn't it? There is definately a few things going on here.
However, the pencillers specifically draw everything into the backround for a purpose (at least according to Neil Gaimain and Alan Moore, I guess), so I wonder why they'd draw a hooded figure into that panel when there is apparently some kind of time thing going on in the story and with Jaz's ambigious time powers. I have a feeling that the hooded guy is in there for a reason, even if its for me to get everyone to have to dig out their latest issue !
I just have the feeling that there is more going on than just Darkseid and the Superboy stories. Hopefully it's not just wishful thinking...

I dunno, Cobie... I thought that was just some random background person who had moved into the panel during the time KQ was "spacing out" -- I'm assuming there was a period of a couple of seconds where everyone else was going about their business and moving around, while KQ was just standing there with her mouth open.
If it is the Time Trapper, what's that weird circle on his/her chest?
EDITED TO ADD: Sorry, I read SoM's post only after I'd posted this!

I noticed the change in background characters and found it odd myself, but I don't think there's sufficient evidence to assert that this is The Time Trapper.
However, I wouldn't at all be surprised if the Hooded One shows up before the end of the storyline. Here's a possible connection: The Blight supposedly made a deal with Entropy (aka The Time Trapper), the Blight used Stargates to travel, Darkseid's servants are currently investigating stargates for some unknown reason, the catastrophists want to revive Darkseid in order to cause some great catastrophe (and what catastrophe would be bigger than the End of Time?). A stretch, maybe, but we'll see...
