Hi All Apologies for taking a while to post these - but here are the pencil and ink versions of the cover to #7. Hope you enjoy seeing them!   Just click on these thumbnails to see full size scans  I should also probably explain the heads in the circles on the logo are just the ones whoever put it together used as a mock-up - not sure exactly where they all came from! Thanks to Nightcrawler - as always - for the links!

Thanks for explaining about the heads in the circles, Barry. If you hadn't, Legion World would probably have crashed with the 250 pages of speculation that would have exploded on this thread.

This cover really enhances the anticipation, being linked to #1's cover. I didn't like the logo at first, but I do now - it's quite different from that of other comics.

Nah, that's not Chameleon Chief and Kinetix. Looks more like Eclipso and Peter David's Supergirl to me.

 That's great - even when you guys knew the heads were irrelevant you still speculate about them! But, seriously, thanks for the kind words on the artwork Saturn Girl will be featured even earlier than this issue (my one-a-month tease)

Thanks again for sharing these, Barry! My irrelevent guesses are Green Goblin, Star Sapphire, Mist (female Starman baddie), and Supergirl.

Hmm...what does this cover tell us? I'm assuming the echoing of the Brainy-centric promo is intentional...Looks to me like the Legion Civil War might be heating up by #7.
The only consistent feature of all of your dissatisfying relationships is you.
Don't judge me!
