The first year of Legion of Super-Heroes wraps up in a finale that must be seen to be believed, in LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #12, written by Mark Waid with art by Barry Kitson.

Not that I see anything wrong with that. That cover is one of the best ever Legion covers. And #12 by Barry is definitely on that list.

I can never see that cover without getting a little misty (it's just dust in my eye, dang it!)...truly the end of an era... and the beginning of 20 years of trying to make the consequences fit into any kind of continuity.
The 'Man of Steel' volume that was to reprint those 2 Legion issues along with the Superman and Action issues it crossed over into, was supposed to come out this week, but I didn't see it. Maybe next week? Anyhow, a great opportunity for those who missed it first time around.
Oh yeah, and the LSH #12 cover looks great, too! I'm hoping it marks the end of the division within the ranks, and that the Legion is unified (and friends) by the end of the issue.

That reminds me that I need to remember to pick that up...

Oh, and assuming the parallel is intentional, one wonders why?

"I've never had more fun writing a comic and Barry Kitson's is knocking it out of the park,” Waid said of his “Legion of Super-Heroes” series. "We encourage you to send letters in. We will print the best letters.” Waid begged off of talking about plot in order to keep the surprises flowing (though he did mention an upcoming DEATH SCENE). Waid also confirmed that his Legion series would not be altered to reflect a “Legion of Super-Heroes” cartoon, currently in development.
Someone's gonna die.
P.S. There's also a larger version of the cover at CBR, but I can't link to it.

Here's your answer in a DCU Panel report at CBR: Someone's gonna die.
Maybe Waid kills Byrne in #12, causing Superboy to blink back into existance?
If there is the death of a Legionnaire, I will be devistated (er, as much as is possible from a comic book, anyway). I don't want to do without any of the current, great cast. But if one did die, for some reason, I would expect it to be Cos (nooooooo).

Ok. That news sucks. I too DO NOT want any Legion deaths. Maybe Lemnos? One can hope.
Cover updated with the bigger version.

Waid killed Tinya in his last "first year" finale... but that was never meant to last...

Maybe it will be one of Triplicate Girl's bodies. Given the other options, I'll take Lu aas Duo Damsel rather than lose any of the others (with the exception of Brainy, of course )

*gasp* maybe it's brainiac 5! I don't see him on the cover! I see: Cham, Princess Projectra, Shadow Lass, Micro Lad, Phantom Girl, Element Lad, Cosmic Boy, maybe Timber Wolf, Saturn Girl, Invisible Kid (?), Star Boy, Light Lass, Lightning Lad, ( I count 18)....Sun Boy, and Atom Girl, at long last!!!!!!!!
I don't see Ultra Boy, Brainiac 5, Karate Kid....
