How about:

"Names. Give me names."

"Who can keep them straight with so many..."

lol

These three pages ease my apprehension just a bit. And Barry's art looks great.

Well, now we know Light Lass is indeed on board. And also from Waid's discussion that Timber Wolf and Wildfire are not it seems. That sort of bites but we'll see where they go.

"You boys and your trophies..."

Ugh. Looks like Umbra's fire has certainly gone out in this "Shadow Lass." Anyone else read that in a stereotypical 60s housewife voice?

Je ne suis pas impressionné.

Sun Boy and Colossal Boy need some trunks on those uniforms. They just don't look quite right without them.

I don't know if this has been brought up in this thread yet or not but does anyone else think that these previews we've gotten are really from the Titans/Legion special? Have we now seen almost half of the pages that are supposed to be included therein?

Not that I would like them any less but since they've pushed back the shipping of the special until at least next week (Diamond doesn't have it this week nor do they have next week's list read yet) it makes me wonder why the delay.

I think that's the most Shady's sounded like Shady in ages! Now all she needs is Tinya next to her making a snarky follow-up comment, and we'll be back in business!

Wait until the Legionnaires start arguing about whether Beast Boy was in the Doom Patrol. Then the gloves come off.
Oh, I want to see that. smile

sigh No Brin and no confirmation on Vi. Good thing Sun Boy and Shady are there.

The dialogue, great. The art, clean and clear. The fact that they're battling a berserk robot instead of another end of the universe, priceless.

The art looks good. The preview looks good!

Reboot I agree with you about Umbra...and Ayla as Light Lass? I hope we get a female that is a bad ass and with aggressive powers! (laurel gand? she will probably just be invulnerable or something)

KINGDOM COME and Indie Rock. The Science Police vs. The legion of Teeny Super heroes? This may work. With all the government type super teams in todays current market...the Black Ops, super ops, etc, etc, etc...seeing a futuristic book where super teens rebel against the SP Special Ops Division and decide to put on colorful costume...and not cuss...and not kill, etc.

It reminds me of the message Waid put out there with KC...the noveau superheroes versus the old ones. I wouldn't mind that...especially since my Avengers suck now. frown

I think I like this.

Best line

"Apparently they.. they hit it sir" rotflmao indeed.

And I like this art. Especially the page showing the SP command centre, dark, foreboding and a complete contrast to the bright lively energetic Legionnaires.

So Sun Boy gets to "melt things"?

I like this limitation of powers, one power alone not enough, it takes team work.

Yes, so we've heard. Ad Nauseum. You're turning into a one-trick pony. You've got your opinion, and you're welcome to it. But since we're all aware of what that opinion is, would you please refrain from harping on. You sound like a bloody broken record.

Jillikers! It's nice enough to be getting Sun Boy, but they even get his powers right for once? Amazing!

Crikey. I really enjoyed those three pages. I'm very pleasantly surprised. The little in-jokes were great fun. good dialogue, great art.

While I, like others, have yet to be convinced a total re-start was necessary, Waid's reasoning seems really sound. The focus on characterisation will be a nice change from the final days of DnA (or rather the trend we see in retrospect of yet _another_ massive crisis).

WOW! First of all - the art looks *AMAZING*! Barry is doing some of his best work here IMO. And the inking and colouring compliment him beautifully. I'm *very* impressed!

Secondly, the writing seems great too. I also love the "they hit it, sir" line. Jo seems like a bit of an asshole to Gim though. Don't be picking on my boy! Still, its great to see that these characters are going to have personalities.

On to the Pulse article :

- I like the rationale given for the Kid, Lass, Lad, etc names. It makes sense.

- His hint about a 21st Century DCU connection in Year 2 intrigues me. Could we be seeing Supergirl around the corner?

- Love the hints about Saturn Girl and Lightning Lad. At last - subplots that actually go somewhere!

- "Oh, and no one has yet said that Colossal Boy ISN’T Jewish. (Or, just to rile you up, that his name is Gim.)" Don't toy with me Waid - his name better be Gim Allon!!!

- Looking forward to seeing new villains.

Lots of good stuff here IMO. Don't see how anyone (except those who've already made their minds up) couldn't be excited about the relaunch at this point.

Just an observation but when I see Star Boy's new look, I get to thinking they merged Star Boy and Kid Quantum (the first one). But that's likely not the case tongue

Ugh, I hope not. I don't really like the idea that mankind will be having "seperate but equal" facilities that far in the future.

I know that's not how you meant for it to sound EDE, that was just the first thing that sprang to mind. I always have felt like it was kind of hokey when science fiction writers have Planet X entirely colonized by left-handed Pisces of Ukranian extraction or whatever.

I like the fact that it looks fun and witty. Oh and re: the Pulse article, I just want to put out there that Bouncing Boy and Matter-Eater Lad fit the team's initial team-imposed naming conventions quite nicely. - sMEL.

Well, I suppose it depends on whether it's a colony or not. What I was thinking is if we have a world of green people, and a world of blue people, it doesn't seem all that far-fetched to have a planet where the native population all happen to be black. Not that black people from Earth segregated themselves by colonizing it or anything.
