That Legacies shot sure calls up the nostalgia. Nightwing and Captain Atom in their original costumes, dead or forgotten heroes like Sargon the Sorcerer, Jericho and Air-Wave, in action again. Neat.
The Legion cover is interesting. Earth-Man definitely doesn't seem to be wearing a green power ring, and gosh, as if it isn't enough that he's got to work alongside green Coluans and blue Talokkians, Tellus is right there on the cover! (Suggesting that the team in 20th century may actually start appearing again.)
I wonder, as a bit of a xenophobe, would Earth-Man find non-humanoids like Tellus more or less problematic than humanoids? If I were a racist, I'd feel most troubled by aliens who look entirely human, like Braalians and Titanians, and less worried about obvious aliens like Tellus...

That would be nice if that were the back of a wraparound cover - because the "Legacies" logo and cover info is going to mess that image up something awful.

I thought it was seven for a second there, and that the dude flying above/behind Jericho's head and below Donna's arm might be Sun Boy, but I think it's actually Johnny Quick...
Edit, I missed Thom on the first pass, post edited.
