Found some more interesting snipits from CBR's coverage:
quote:Asked about speedsters in the future, Levitz said, "XS is running around, but we're trying to keep Legion down to four billion characters, so we're giving her a little time before she shows up."
quote:"Legion Academy" will feature ties to 21st-century DC, but at present there are no plans for Superman and Batman's descendants to appear, Levitz said when asked.
quote:The new Green Lantern for the Earth sector in "Legion" will debut soon, "someone who will stick around, unlike Earthman, who had the attention span of about two minutes." Who this character is will "hopefully surprise you," Levitz said. Bedard added that Sodam Yat will be appearing in "Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors."
I'm very excited about a Legion Academy series, but I've been burned by the previous times DC has announced a new series at a Con only to change their minds (*cough*Kid Flash*cough*).
And we know who it isn't, the ones on the cover. And MEL is said to be appearing in #6.
I SSSOOoooo hope it's Tenzil!
And I can hardly wait for a Legion Academy series. That means we'll see more of Chuck and Lu and maybe Nightwind and Lamprey and Comet Queen and Crystal Kid(he's not dead yet, is he? He was in the later era with the Khunds, wasn't he?)

Crystal Kid was with SW6 when the Legion found him alongside Catspaw, Dragonmage, and Computo...so don't remember him being killed off. Perhaps you're thinking of Power Boy, Jed Rikane? He was killed alongside Nightwind during the battle with the Khunds.

As an idea I absolutely love the idea of a Legion Academy series especially if it contains Nightwind, Lamprey and Jed Rikane, but unfortunately with dreary reads like Avengers academy and New Mutants over the last few years I'm concerned it will turn into a shadow of the parent comic without some thorough planning and good use of characters. I'd love to see Giffen write it tbh, as I think he would shake it up convincingly.
That said, you know I'll buy it regardless who writes it.

I'm pretty excited about the Legion Academy getting a book! Like Harbinger said though, I hope they put some thought into it (and I hope they get some better art than Adventure has had recently!)
I also am intrigued about the upcoming leader elections. I have a weird feeling Earth-Man is gonna get a big lead just because he's had more exposure than the rest of the team so far - I really hope he doesn't win it though, that would just stretch credibility WAY too far unless something really amazing happens in the next issue or so...

Count me in as hugely surprised but hugely excited by the announcement of this Legion Academy book. Chuck! Luornu! Berta! Jed! Bobb! Tayla! All in their own book! I can't wait! I just hope we get good art.
The fact that the fans are voting for the next Legion leader is of course exciting but I have to say I am dreading a founders or Brainy win.
Please fellow Legion fans - boycott those panel hogs and let someone who hasn't had the job or hasn't been in the spotlight for a long time get the win!

The Legion Academy announcement had me checking the date. It's not April 1st, right?
I'm all aquiver with excitement. A Legion *spin-off?* Woo-hoo!
Teen books are my kryptonite, and one set in the Legion universe (now that the Legion are no longer teens), is like some sort of dream I never dared to dream.

Power Boy it is. I hope that Nightwind, in particular, doesn't die this time around, but I liked Jed, too.
Lar has been very high profile over the last year or so and fans might go for him. What would Shady (and Lar and EM) do if Mon was forced back to Legion Headquarters and interaction with them?

I'm guessing that the shaded out guy is the new Green Lantern. so we know it's a male and we know it isn't Brainy, Cos, Colossal Boy, Timber Wolf or Tyroc:

From the pose, I'd almost be willing to guess it's a grown-up Kal-El. Hmm...SuperMAN and the Legion of Super-Heroes. Does have a bit of a ring to it at that.

Ties to the 21st century? A legion Acadmey series sounds like a great place for Infectious Lass... who as of her appearances in TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED, was last seen in the 21st century...
