Yera's back on the Lost covers, but still no Gates. Hmm...
So Dragonwing is firmly established to be from China. I look forward to seeing China in the 30th century, like how we see Jacques' home in Africa (Cote d'Iviore, I think?) under Levitz. Speaking of, Jacques really needs a spotlight soon!

China as a political entity has been around for centuries so I can see it still being a place in a thousand years, unlike the Cote D'Ivoire, which is a colonial name (Ivory Coast in English) that is well past its sell by date even now.

In between Dawny and Yera. He sort of blends in with the rubble if you look quick.

The missing wings are a mistake that will hopefully be corrected before the issue comes out.
IB, Yera was originally drawn as bald like Chameleon Boy is bald. I prefer her bald to the hair on her.

but does that Legion Lost #6 remind you of another Legion cover...kind of ...sort of...well you know? I am talking about Legion of Super Heroes first Baxter edition #1 where Wildfire, Dawnstar, Blok, Timber Wolf bursting out of the wall (tearing apart the wall) drawn by Keith Giffen? am I misremembering?

There was an interview somewhere (and sorry, can't for the life of me remember where) that said that the picture was rushed, that only part of it was inked before it was scanned, that the penciled-but-not-yet-inked parts didn't show up on the scan and that there was another missing part that would appear on the finished cover. I know that on the DC boards the various guesses to what was missing besides Dawny's wings that would be added were: Gates, Yera's hair and the Logo. In that order.

Seeing that Secret Origin cover really makes me miss that look Vi had there. Thats a costume they should bring back in some form in the currnet series. Her current one is just blah.

Thanks, Quis, I remember that as well. It just seems odd, since in the Retroboot she's ALWAYS been depicted with hair, that I can remember.

Thanks, NLL! I'm really hoping "Gates" is the correct answer, and they just didn't want to spoil his return.

Seeing bald Yera again makes me happy, even if it was an art/ink/coloring mistake.
(And we still need a Yera smilie!)
