Re:Tasmia's "#24" costume...check out Steve's Wildfire issue...I'd swear there's a scene where Tasmia shows a bit of inbetween leg skin (nudge nudge)--when she gets knocked off her feet. Looooooove it!

Speaking of Tasmia's bloodline, how DID they ever keep it going? Weren't all shadow children secluded from their parents and in deep training until they become champion. I guess they have to hope they get married and bear children before they get killed in the line of duty.

On second look of the cover...I *love* Ayla & Jo's costume. Shady's still needs a little something extra to it. I'm a bit horrified by what looks to be Dirk's...he's a classy guy (usually), let's see some layers and different designs.

I wouldn't be surprised to find that the designated Shadow Champion has an arranged marraige with someone who's genetically compatible enough to keep the line going.

What is Barry on about? How can previous continuity NOT be wiped away if we've got bloody Gim Allon mincing about on the front cover of issue 2? HE DEAD!!

Incidently, the cover looks crap to me. Tasmia looks like a refugeee ffrom LEGION and Gim's logo is exactly the same as Titan's from the Imperial Guard. Of all things.

I think it's the difference between the stories actually happening and then being wiped out (as what we seem to be getting) versus the stories never hapening at all (as in every Doom Patrol tale before Byrne).

So something like the Team 20 stories and Kyle Rayner meeting the previous Legion may well still be in continuity, and if any 20th Century folk who met the Legion previously saw them again, they would notice the change.

I think that's clearly what Barry means, but now I'm confused by the claim that the Legion has been rebooted only once in its history, since the 1994 reboot supposedly left the previous history intact. It's never completely started over, with everything that's happened before being *completely* forgotten.

The reboot answer by Barry is DC/Waid semantics. They are not erasing the past continuity but starting a new one. That's like telling your girlfriend you are not breaking up...but you aren't going to see her anymore and will date a new girl. You can't have your cake and eat it too DC. This is a reboot.

Anyways I think they refer to hypertime. Which can mean all past continuity's can exist.

As for the actual cover. It looks good. I like it all except I was hoping Ayla's Light Lass powers would be light based not low gravity based but ohwell. I am sure it's going to just one of many small things i won't like...grr...try to be positive...

Looks like alot of fun! Can't wait.

Hey, Jorge ...

Just wondering how you pronounce your new user name. Is it the Kryptonian way ("jorg-el") or the Spanish way ("hor-el")?

First off I love Jo's costume but am very glad he doesn't have those damn silly boots he used to have. Looked like a christmas elf on roids.

He Who Wonders...

Heh, I haven't thought about but now that have my first instinct was the Kryptonian(english) way Georg-El...Hor-El does sound pretty cool though!

Jorge

Oh no! I zoomed in on Jo's boots and I think they DO have the little hangy things?! Indie rock all, erm, the way. Well atleast the boots are brown not green/red. *whew*

As for the indie rock comparison? I think the return of Swing in the late 90s is a better example. Kids dressing up in old retro clothes/dresses going swing dancing...using swing terms, etc. Even then most of them I knew had tatoos all over their bodies, piercings, etc. Not exactly the same as the original swingers.

Jorge

After looking at the cover a few more times I gotta say - Ayla's costume has really grown on me! I think I actually quite like it now!

I already loved Star Boy's, and Ultra Boy's hasn't changed (which is a good thing IMO) so that just leaves Gim, Tasmia and especially Dirk (of the ones on this cover) who need a bit more tweaking I think.

I'm looking forward to seeing a big group shot of the whole team in costume together. I think then we'll have a better idea if these costumes work or not.

I'm hoping that Barry finds the time soon to stop in and let us know what's up. He has mentioned that he is quite busy with clearing up some outstanding projects so hopefully he'll be able to stop by soon.

hIM AM GOT NO HEADGEAR! eVERYBODY KNOW GIM AM NEED SPECIAL HEADGEAR!!

Bizarro, I think you may be the only person requiring headgear. I'll let you work out what type.

hELLOOOOOO!! cRISIS AM SO 20 YEARS AGO. mULTIVERSE AM BACK IN BIG WAY. pREVIOUS lEGION CONTINUITY AM NOT ERASED AT ALL, AM STILL OUT THERE ON DIFFERENT eARTH. yOU AM JUST THINK OF RELAUNCH AS THE eARTH-2 lEGION, AND WE AM ALL BE HAPPY BIG TIME!

hOORAY!

Reboot / Relaunch / Redo.

What does it matter at this point? We know that the Legion we're getting will bear little resemblance to the one DnA left us. Whether DC wants to call this a reboot or not is immaterial. Whether we want Adventure Era characters or postboot ones is irrelevant. We're getting what WnKy and DC have agreed to give us.

I'm excited by the little (and I do mean little) information I've learned about the new series. I'll miss the old stuff, but that doesn't mean this new Legion won't be great to read. If Gim is alive or Jeckie is a woman, I'll take it as fact. It's the upcoming stories I want to read about, not past stories already written.

I've made peace with the DnA book. Whatever term is used for this new title, I'll be going into it as a new reader, not looking for any past connections. Instead, I'll be pysched about the new curves WnKy are throwing at me. This is the LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES- I'm stoked about the future of it all!

I am now officially on-board for this. Looks fun!

Wow! I'm happy.

Jeepers!

There's also the page immediately preceding the "splash" type page posted on the Pulse page as well.

I'm looking forward to reading the full story.

Great! And Jen is going to hear from me about not letting me know the interview was done! I checked not an hour ago and there were no updates to the Pulse.

Here's a direct link to the interview:

And he actually kinda answered my question.
