I loved his art, back in the day, then he went all blocky face and jackets-to-hide-the-lack-of-bodies (which, granted, must have saved him hours, not having draw anything but jackets, legs and a bunch of identical heads), and I was not so impressed.
But, as Gorilla Nebula says, it's great just to have an annual, and I'd be thrilled if it was in the animated style, let alone in Giffen's blockheaded purse-lipped 'Lego Legion' style.
As long as he doesn't pointlessly ressurect and kill Val again.

The Annual would be the best time ever for a 6 page back-up that very clearly defines the Legion timeline but yet leaves tons of room for fan interpretation and online arguing!

The LSH Annual will be titled "The Return of Karate Kid".
Oops, it's actually titled "The REBURN of Karate Kid". There will also be a variant cover of the climactic scene in 3-D, since at least that hasn't been done yet ...

I'm sure it did save him lots of time hiding everybody's faces in black shadow and repeating the same panels over and over on his 9 panel grid.
I loved the art, but thought the story was pretty dull and silly, as was most of the Reboot. He didn't write it though.
And I love blocky art Giffen. But that's because I like more artistic material and he was the pace supreme at that period. Most people seem to forget how incredible his storytelling capabiliities were, especially with such constrained board.

The only Giffen art style I haven't liked is 'abstract-squiggles Giffen', which he used on TRENCHER and also on a couple pages during TMK featuring the SW6 and McCauley.

All criticism aside, if Levitz and Giffen can make lightning strike again (their first Legion Annual #1 was amazing) then I will shut up, never criticize Giffen again and wear a pink nellie hat...

I'm with you! NO GIFFEN PLEASE!!! Ya, he used to be good but that hasn't been the case, in my opinion of coarse, for a loooooong time! His work these days is hideous ... and that's being positive, seriously. If Giffen draws the Legion Annual I may not buy it at all.
P.S. Just look at the variant cover for DC Universe Legacies #6 ... I rest my case.
