Wow the art looks great, and that Timber Wolf variant cover will be a sell-out for sure. Can't wait until next Wednesday!

So far the Mon-El and Chameleon Boy covers have been my favorites, but this one's nice, too!

That preview doesn't do much for me. The writing seems somewhat... stilted? And I still cannot get past how awful Jeckie looks. Or Sun Boy's annoyingly incorrect hair colour.

It looks like Mon-El's shoulder on the right side of the Jim Lee T-Wolf cover. Do all the Lee covers fit together for a panoramic view?

Okay, I think the one and only thing that Legion fandom has EVER agreed on is that this Sensor Girl costume is hideous. Can we PLEASE get rid of it once and for all already?
I said please.

wrong. the other thing all of Legion fandom agreed on was how awful "Sneckie" was. now we have "boob window/tiara-wearing" Sensor Girl. also, notice how the Earth Force have glass brains ala Validus! Eeek!

I wouldn't mind it if it were only him(*) but now that he and Garth have both been lightened that makes three blond males (includeing Jan) on the team and no red-heads. Variety is the spice of life.
(*) Actually yes, it would still bug me. Incorrect hair colouring is one of my biggest pet-peeves on the Legion. With so many members and so few artists able to draw more than one stock 'male' face and one stock 'female' face, hair colour becomes one of the most identifiable characteristics a character can have. Change that up and it's like putting a new character in that Sun Boy costume.

I find Dirk's joking(?) about picking up a Titanian girl in this context a little bizarre.

I kinda liked Sneckie too (and her robot arms). Though I would have preferred her as an original character than as a re-imagined Jeckie.
It was everything around Sneckie I hated - her homeworld that somehow developed an exact copy of an Earth feudal poilitcal system (despite the fact it was a planet of snakes :wtf: ), her silly family with all their too-cute, similar-to-the-English-Royal-Family names, her cloying personality (especially at a time when we had another equally as annoying 'perky' Legionnaire in Monstress) and most especially - those raccoon slaves! So tacky!
The presence of a non-humanoid Legionnaire was very welcome to me though. I actually thought she had a great visual (when she was the snake). I hated her post-'change' visual at the time. But in retrospect it was a good one too. I just would have rather'd it be a new Legionnaire in that form than losing a good old one.
So to sum up -
I like Jeckie. I like Sneckie. I like Naga-eckie.
Just not all as the same character.
P.S. This is a topic for another thread, but in retrospect I think Sneckie was probably one of the biggest mistakes of the Reboot. What purpose did making that change serve other than to say to older fans "F*** you! This isn't your Legion anymore!"? ... I loved a lot of the improvements the Reboot made to the Legion mythos but an unnecessary and (they had to have known) divisive change like this one was a big mistake IMO. Anyway, I digress...

I can never get worked up about hair colour. So a red head dyes their hair mor blonde? Happens all the time.
The (standard) cover: I loved the way Dirk and Tasmia are both watching Earth-Man. Sun Boy's face is brilliant. Shadow Lass looks like someone ready to jump into his bed.
The earth force: If you blow up the picture, those helmets don't look see through just have some kind of logo on them.
