Okay, that should be enough spoiler space.



[edit note: Changed thread title to reflect that there has not been a new cover image yet.]

Also, Worlds of Westfield (from Westfield Comics) has an interview with Barry (where the image came from):

YEAH!!!! GO big boy, go big boy, GO!!!!!!

Nice skimpy outfit for Ayla, it looks like!

ooh. hello. Gim seems to be WWF-style grappling a robot.

With so few details about what the *sigh* reboot is yet, it's all rather puzzling.

Why is Shady so pale? (Another skin colour change to go with Star Boy's?) What's Sun Boy firing at? Are ladies crop tops really still in fashion in the 31st Century?

Can't wait to find out. Nice.

Can't really judge the merits of a full on reboot til we have the 1st issue in our hands, but there is one thing I am struck by. It really was time for some costume changes. I loved the 'stripe down the middle' look, but it was ten years old now. Strange there wasn't an update done post-Legion Lost. I wonder if that was another order from above?

Who is Kid White-Cape?

From that interview the first bit that jumped straight out was:


Westfield: Is this a complete reboot of the series or are you following what's gone before?

Kitson: I knew you were going to ask that question. [laughter] I've always understood reboot meant you were wiping out past continuity, which we're not. But we are going off in a completely different direction.


I really need to find out! I think Barry's definition of reboot still isn't quite in line with what most of us see it as (a re-start from scratch). Maybe we'll be proven wrong. Damn you TT/L* Special. Why are you late?!?

I was thinking Star Boy, but why would his cape expand to mammoth proportions?

Someone new, perhaps?

Barry! PLEASE consider bringing back Shadow Lass' retro-1940s hairdo that Olivier Coipel gave her!


Oh, and I'm loving the half-shirts on the chicks. Now let's see a guy in shorts. NOT daisy dukes, but let's see a little exposed leg.

I'm not really digging the Micro Lad suit. *Why* can't they give Gim an outfit based on the Adventure-era one?

My preference too. At least his gloves here are red. Add stars to them and yellow pantaloons, and we're in business.

The green shirt is essential, imo.

Okay, the sight of Gim beheading a giant robot is pretty cool, but if that's the reimagined Tasmia, the character has just taken two steps backwards. I don't like her hair, her costume OR her wishy-washy skin color. This Shadow Lass pales in comparison to the magnificant Umbra.

How come everyone gets a new costume but Ultra Boy? If anyone needed a wardrobe fix after 40 years it was Jo. Ayla's skimpy outfit suits her fine, but I'm very disappointed it's black. I thought these characters were supposed to be "colorful", so where's the color?

I dunno, judging by the looks of the first two covers and the creator comments I've read, I think I'm going to be one of those "long term Legion fans" Barry's prepared to upset.

I'm noticing a lot of black, now that you mention it. Though I kind of like Ayla in black.

Actually, Gim and Jo have an *incredibly* similar color scheme. Not ideal at all.

They ditched all Jo's green for black? Don't like that.

Actually, it's hard to tell whether it's green or black. But still...

EDE et.al: Uh--count me as one relieved that they aren't riffing off the Adv. version of Gim. Red and blue are his colors. This is not my opinion, but absolute truth.

Hey, everyone, remember these are the "not-really-finalized" colors (hopefully).

Ultra Boy's costume is one of those that you just don't mess with too much. It looks, at least, as though they've swapped most of the green for brown -- a VERY good decision. Although it's not quite as spot-on perfect an update as the Sprouse version, it's still good.

Looks like Ayla is definitely in Light Lass mode. Hopefully there's more to her powers than just making things weightless (although any old-school Power Pack fan knows that can be a really potent power in itself).

When I went to article from which the cover art came, the art wouldn't display. I'm glad to see this image here, but what was the other art in the article? The first cover?

Umbra over Shadow Lass for me too, I'm afraid.

I hope Ayla's costume is dark/navy blue rather than black. I like Micro Lad's costume... perhaps he's 'crushing' on Ultra Boy and that explains the similarity.

White-cape Kid... hmmm... Barry? Can you give us a hint?

Todd

Looking at Ayla's costume more closely (it is black, I think), I see what looks like a white arrow on her right shoulder blade, and a similar white arrow design going up each leg.

Jo's pants are either very dark green or have a green stripe. It's hard to tell, even after blowing up the image.

I like the Micro Lad costume and Jo's.Damn Tasmia won't wear Umbra's costume!Well it looks good anyway and this series may work.

Seperated at birth?



Hmm... not quite as close as my first impression, but still definate similarities.

Similarities in what SoM? I see nothing similar between those two covers. Is the one on the left supposed to be from Iron Man?

As for the additional art included in the article it was the cover to the first issue.

I like Ayla's costume, though the shape and color of it all remind me of Ultimate X-Men's Jean Grey.

Basing Gim's costume off of his v3 duds wouldn't be my first choice either...but come to think of it I didn't really enjoy any of his costumes besides SW6/postboot. I'm okay with the Adv. costume, but I don't think it would work here.

Star Boy's cape must be from Tamaran or something. I see the starfield costume peeking out which works, but I really don't want to see a full-body number again.

I'm a little worried about Dirk's costume down there. All yellow leggings? Don't see any boots or accessories there either. Perhaps it'll look better up close, though.

I actually like the colors on Jo's suit...the style will grow on me. I like the coloring on Shady and am fine with the costume. I kind of miss seeing the fire in her eyes that Umbra has had the past six or seven years. Shady here looks so remorseful for some reason.

maybe it's Gim's introduction and his style will change as he gains perspective from other Legionnaires

after all, he comes into the picture thinking he's Micro Lad -- he probably thinks the outfit is cute too
