I think I might be responsible for that.
Do tell?!
And I like the captions, if I can read them. The red in yellow is a combination that my eyes don't see well.
I'm tired of destroyed planets, too. The reboot got rid of Dryad, Trom and Skylar, at least. It seems like Daxam's been destroyed at least once, I can't remember when, Orando in Primeboot and Zerox in Baxter.
Earth Man, I'm afraid, would be my last pick for a storyarc to be built on. He kind of reminds me of the reboot wacko hero from the DnA galaxy, too.
The Legion has dealt with xenaphobia many times, even before Waid/Kitson. The whole idea of using kids was because the theory was that kids are more accepting of differences. I've worked with kids for many years and that an urban myth that is totally untrue. They're little monsters with anyone different.
College age is where the most acceptance comes in, I think, although I don't have any empirical proof.
Sherman is okay, as is Giffen. I'd like to see Lightle, Hughes and Coipel do arcs, myself. Grell might be fun, as well, as long as they keep him away from costume design. sorry
The new artist looks quite interesting, exciting even. Ayla and Brainiac are awesome, as is Shady, even though I hate her costume. He even made Imra smile! I like her in short hair.
The couple that went south, besides maybe Cos and Night Girl, might be Nura and Throm. The whole Starman thing is so strange, he acts like he's lost her forever, even though he still loves her. She acted pretty strange in the Lightning Saga, too.
I'm really happy about 2 titles plus Lar is still in Justice League and/or Superman? We also have the 'timed' Legionnaires for awhile longer. Such riches!

Because Sherman was at Big Apple Con in June, and I showed him my hardcover of Superman and the Legion because I wanted a commission of one of the Legionnaires in their new outfits by a classic LoSH artist. He did Saturn Girl. I think that was the first he heard of it.

WOW O WOW O WOW O WOW O WOW O WOW O Wow! Here I am, have to be at work tomorrow at 7am. "Let's see if there's anything new with the Legion this week..HOLY CRAP!" Now I'm up later than I should be and will probably have a hard time getting to sleep--and I couldn't be happier!
Levitz mentions that Keith Giffen wanted to do a certain issue--I'll bet it's not the one where "the planet___________ explodes into a million pieces."
I am so looking forward to this. Two Legion books a month? It's like Christmas all year long! I'm using a lot of exclamation marks!!!!
This sounds great and the artist looks impressive. Things I'd like to see changed:
1. The caption boxes. Okay, fine if you are going to keep them, but contrasting colors please! Black and white...Yellow and black...White and blue... 2. I'd like to see LL's costume change too. Looks too much like a diaper. 3. Just a little longer hair for Saturn Girl. It looks like she had it shaved in some prison camp and it never grew back right. There was just no explanation for why the sudden change.
The group shot: Hopefully this is either a centerfold page or one of those where they fly off at the end of the issue. Nothing says it has to be from the first issue either. In summary: YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

I honestly don't understand why SG's hair needs to be "explained." I see plenty of women IRL who wear their hair super-short. (It has nothing to do with, er, "prison camp." Women like it because it's low-maintenance and doesn't feel heavy and unwieldy, usually.) Frankly, I always like seeing it in comics, rather than the traditional flowing locks all over the place.
Now if we could just get some curly-haired females in there somewhere.

Sooo....which planet do we think it's gonna be? Off the top of my head, if I HAD to choose a Legion homeworld to destroy, I would choose Braal. Other than the fact that it's Cos's homeworld, I don't think it really adds anything to the Legion mythos (unless they want to do the Braal/Imsk war, which might be interesting).
I think a lot of potential could be lost by losing a lot of the other worlds....Bgtzl, Titan, Naltor, Carggg, and so on; I think all of these have really interesting stories waiting to be told about their societies, their contributions to the UP and such...
The only problem I guess is that Cos has already lost his family and broken up with Lydda, does he really need any more tragedy?
Something that I noticed in Levitz's interview was his mention of a Legionnaire with ten whole fingers who SHOULDN'T have ten whole fingers....I guess this isn't really a spoiler because I noticed it in LO3W as well, but I assume he's talking about Shady? I am interested in knowing how her betrothal to Mon-El panned out; they seem to be still together..
Levitz always hated Tyroc, I wonder how he's gonna use him? I wonder how this new team dynamic is gonna work with two Durlans, Luournu's expanded powers, Chuck, Tenzil and Quislet back on the roster....interesting times to be a Legion fan I think!

Here's a prediction: the destroyed planet will be Durla.
I'm extatic about the good news, too. Can't wait.
