I don't know whether to be curious about that, or to be frightened by it. I'm indifferent to it. I'm going for generally indifferent. Great minds think alike! I was about to post that!

I guess at the end of the day, I don't care either way, but completely by coincidence, I happen to start the GDS (the prologue) as part of my classic Legion read through.
I dunno - at the end of the day, it doesn't matter, but they are yet again taking a concept and recycling it. I'll most likely not buy/read it and that will be that...

I haven't really cared about Infinite Frontier anyway. They say the same stuff about how everything's different or it all matters and they don't really mean it. They throw out tidbits about a character's past like a memory of an old costume or relationship and then keep barreling forward with the same status quo while patting themselves on the back for making a change.
John Ridley wrote in a comic that people don't really change, they just become more of what they already are. That can either mean your good traits flourish or your bad traits fester, and in the case of DC it's the latter.
I trust Joshua Williamson as much as I trust Johns, Bendis, and everyone else that's not Colleen Doran or Devin Grayson or a select handful of people who knew what they were doing.

Or standing around in the background not saying anything, if the last Legion run is any indication!

New teasing and answers by Bendis and connection to the end of the Infinite Frontier series: I don't know how to take some of his comments given the result...it sounds more like he's trying to justify himself rather than selling the story...

Looks like a mix of the current Legion with earlier designs.

The blending really does a good job of helping me ignore whatever influence of Bendis is present.
But I swear to God if they feature Garth and/or Ayla they better have actual red hair.

Neat! always glad to see more Legion representation elsewhere. Some of my cousins are big fans of Young Justice too, maybe it will get them into the Legion.

I would have to go back and watch the first two Young Justice: Phantoms episodes again, but I'm pretty sure that there was a Legion-flight-ring wearing person on Earth, as well, covertly watching the team, so there might be more Legionnaires in the past than Cham, Tinya and Imra.

Not quite a Legion appearance but ...
Action Comics #1036 "Warworld Saga part 1": the first 3 pages take place on Durla and focus on Thaaros, Highlord of Durla who is writing his resignation message before taking up the role of Lord Premier of the United Planets.
Three things of note.
I think this is the first speaking appearance of Durlans in the UP portrayed in the more recent Superman comics. At least one appeared in the crowds at the founding of the UP but they were not one of the races that spoke during that event. Nevertheless this would make them one of the founding planets and an important one if their leader is to become the leader of the UP.
Their appearance here is very similar to that of President Brande as drawn by Sook in LSH volume 8. I suppose that makes sense except why does Cham look different to that. Also their background appearance st the UP founding was the more usual cloaked figure with green tentacles appearing out of the hood. So is the Brande look their new standard shape for outsiders? Except the scenes here are on Durla and only amongst Durlans.
The setting is a beautiful garden on Durla "the eternal gardens of Valduril, the pride of our homeworld these six thousand generations". Thaaros expresses in his message his "hope to bring the prosperity, harmony, and beauty of Durla to other, less fortunate worlds". I am not sure how we are meant to reconcile this with the Six-Minute War and the devastated Durla seen previously. Perhaps it hasn't happened yet in this timeline?
Anyway I thought it was interesting to think about. I'm not upset about the discrepancy, just curious and hoping that future writing makes the most of a slightly different setting. (On a further side note I am quite enjoying Phillip Kennedy Johnson's writing and he has me intrigued.)

Hey guys, I know it was a month ago but I was wondering what you guys thought of the depiction of the Legion in the new season of young justice? Especially the ambiguous ending to episode 4?
