Really, do they need to keep her with the mullett and Eddie Munster hairline? No wonder boys on the panel did not want to see her in the show...
I just can't BLOK it out!

She does look a bit like a salmon.

Oh come on, am I the only one who thinks Saturn Girl's design is the coolest thing ever? It doesn't help that her bodily proportions on this cover are out of wack, though - her torso, her torso!
Funny how the solicitation text has absolutely no mention of her whatsoever. Wow.

Yeah I like the design, but the Eddie Munster reference did resonate.

What's with the "L" logo at her waist? It looks like it is turned 90 degrees to the left (like the L is lying on it's back)???
And her earrings are bigger than her chest for crying out loud!!! I'm not saying I need L31st's Imra to be well endowed or anything, but those earrings are a joke. You think they would be too heavy for her to keep her head up. I guess 31st Century jewelry is all holographic?
And it is strange to see her on a cover that talks about Brainy & Clark. Even with the Phantom Zone reference, I could understand if the cover was P.G.
And I, for one, already miss Saturn Girl as a core team member on the Saturday shows!!!

Should look a little better now. At least the "L" is fixed.

Hmm, the solicitation text for #9 and #10 is the same. Since the cover of #9 does show Brainy, that's probably the correct one. I guess DC mixed them up. Stranger things have happened.  http://www.legionworld.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=11;t=000143

Hey everyone, That solicit on the DC site is indeed the wrong one. This issue features Saturn Girl and Lightning Lad trapped inside Legion Headquarters as it is taken over by the Fatal Five. Brainy only makes a brief cameo. This is my first issue for Legion in the 31st, and I really hope you guys enjoy it. Matthew K. Manning www.matthewkmanning.com www.comicspace.com/matthewkmanning

Yeah, I always seem to have problems with the solicits. They either get my name wrong, the artist's name wrong, or the story blurb incorrect. Sometimes they mess up all three, as was the case with my last Looney Tunes issue.
But either way, I'm still excited to be writing the Legion. I'm a longtime fan who started after picking up a DC Comics Presents starring Ambush Bug and the Subs, so this project has been a blast for me.

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to let everyone know that issue # 10 will actually be drawn by Alexander Serra, not Matthew Stewart as we originally thought. It seems there were a few deadline conflicts, but hopefully Matthew and I will be working on an issue together in the near future. As it stands now, I’ve seen Alexander’s first five pages or so, and the book looks great.
And if you’re wondering where this fits in with Season Two and Saturn Girl’s coma, the issue actually takes place during the missing two year gap. You’ll start to see a few of the characters’ looks reflect this as well…

Interesting. Maybe the comic will show Chameleon Boy's induction? Maybe we could see Ultra Boy and a few others join that haven't appeared as members in the cartoon yet?

No Chameleon Boy in this issue, although I do have an idea in the pipeline for Ultra Boy...

What would be cool is an entirely new character who joins for a few issues in the between-seasons gap and then leaves before the second season starts. Someone who we've never seen before on the show or in any comic book.
