Legion #5 looks good (love Cinar's art as usual), but did they have to go and put that loser at the very front of the group shot? As if he was their leader or something. Oh well, maybe Absorbancy Boy finally will bite it this month.

Nice group shot on LoSH #5. Shame Earth Man doesn't have his back to us to make it look like the team are all gunning for him though - as the solits seem to hint at. Glad it seems like someone other than Earth Man will be becoming the 31st Century Green Lantern at least.
The Legacies #5 cover - . God, George Perez is incredible. It would be fantastic if that cover was a wrap-around wouldn't it? Once upon a time it would have been. Shame comic companies use every opportunity they can to milk the fans of extra money these days. Notice how that issue ships with two covers? Guess what the other one's going to be of.
Does it also seem weird to anyone else that DC is only halfway through cataloguing its history and it's already reached Crisis? So half of DC's history is post-that? Really? We're not gonna get an issue dedicated to drek like Infinite Crisis or something are we?
Adventure Comics - Did Scott Clark think he was drawing Titano until moments before he had to send that cover in? Still, I kinda like the new look he's given Doomsday here.

Wow, the Legacies cover might just be the best comic book cover in YEARS. Just incredible!!
Also, best Legion cover so far! Possible other Green Lantern? Step forward, Harmonia Li!! She'd be perfect!
Dynamic Superboy image. Art is perhaps rougher than I usually like but I like the idea of it.

I really don't like the rendition of Tellus on the Legion cover. Otherwise, looks pretty good, though it's mostly the same old characters.

I might just have to get that GDS hardcover! Gonna be hard to resist with so many more issues included (even though I own them all!) I assume the quality of the printing will be superior?
Is it me or does the cover look like a newer version of the old GDS trade's cover? Or is it the exact same?

Yeah, goog, it's definitely a different experience reading it originally when it came out serialized than it is in TP/HC form, eh? Kinda takes all the mystery out!

WOW Cobalt Kid, that IS perfect! Harmonia Li as the new GL would be a great choice as an excellent way to keep this new, interesting supporting character around for a long time to come. I like it!

Oh and DITTO what everybody else has said so far regarding the Perez cover of DCUL #5 .... absolutely gorgeous.
George continues to out-do himself with every new project he's given lately. There's just no slowing down for this living legend!

Nevermind. Pretty sure they're the exact same.
I sort of hope that they come up with a new cover image. I like that cover by Giffen, but I already have it on the TP. Be nice to get something new.
Part of me wishes this could be an Absolute, but then, I'm not sure I'll have the money to buy an Absolute anything that month and I'd rather the book be more accessible to people. Still, how cool would it be to see that story Absolute-ized!

Yeah, it kinda pisses me off how TPB and HC collections rarely seem to spring to get an artist to create a new cover for them anymore! It used to be common practice, but at some point the Bigs decided they couldn't shell out for a new creation. Don't get me wrong--there are many great existing covers out there that look good on a collection, but 9 times out of 10, I'd rather see something new.
If they're using the same Giffen cover (which was original for the TPB, though based on 294's design) here, it makes even less sense here because of the difference inside and the inclusion of all of Paul's issues leading up to it and a couple after it. Maybe they'll surprise us? After all they advertized the Legion of Three Worlds HC with the Saturn Girl cover....
