From the first four pages, I thought "Is she supposed to be a Paris Hilton type or does she only appear to be that?". The next preview pages, with Cos' comments about not sending her on missions and her Legion flag submissions with her picture on them made me think "ok, so she really is a self-centered brat". But then that very last bit of dialogue where she tells her father she thinks she may "finally get to do something important" totally won my heart!! Now I really am not sure what to think of her -- good job Waid.

Projectra not being exactly what she appears to be? Who'd have thought...  And I really dig the Lemnos = Brande idea...

Another excellent issue of one of the best titles being published today. Love the quote at the end of the article. There was no mention of credits for the backup story. Does Barry do the artwork there too or do we get a guest artist for the spot? Gawd- Wednesday is TOO far away!

Star Boy not knowing who Projectra is sheds some interesting light on Brin's involvement with the legion. If an actual member isn't aware of her but he is, how close has T-Wolf been to the legion in the past? Perhaps he played a role in the legion's formation or at least was around during their very early days.
I love that final page. Projectra kinda reminds me of Shannon from lost.

All this, plus a brainy back up story, AND 3 pages of letter column goodness. It doesn't get much better than that! (unless of course this issue dumps the DC in Demand page)

Conversely, given Brin's apparent distaste for manipulating other Legionnaires, if he has/had a close relationship with Projectra it's hard to imagine him simultaneously viewing her as the clueless sugar mommy. Thanks to him, she may have a much better idea of her real function for the Legion than Cosmic Boy suspects. Hence, maybe, her "finally get to do something important" aside to her father.

Projectra does seem like a stuck up rich girl. She wants to be on the Legion flag? If her planet is destroyed I can see her turning cold/logical much like she was way back when Val died. I'm a fan of the Jeckie/Brin thing...again reminds me of when they served as leader/deputy leader.

Actually, if I remember correctly, the Jeckie of the early Levitz era had a bit of the pampered princess attitude sometimes. This is really just an exaggeration of that, I think.
I don't want her becoming all broody, though. Hopefully the others will take her seriously soon. I'd hate for her to be the Legion's Flamebird...

Iwahashi seems to be a relatively new, in the major comics game anyways. There's mention of him interning with Jim Lee and the Wildstorm people in the fall of 2004. He's got a site here http://www.ugly-rabbit.com/ with some samples of his work. Looks interesting enough.

Though, I would've been even more of a jeenyus if Mantis Morlo had appeared!

I think the whole "Royalty" bunch of humans here on earth think that their ideas are naturally better than us "common folk". So any idea, even putting your own face on the flag, is the only real choice to make.
