Before anyone says anything, there was no preview cover for Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds #4.

Oh, Kevin Maguire upteenth clone of JLI #1. But always amusing..

Please add BOOSTER GOLD #14 since it at least has a flight ring on the cover and may or may not feature Brainiac 5.

Also, The JSA TPB will be out with an unmasked Starman.

Done! Thanks for spotting those Gary!

Is that Gazelle between T-Wolf and Star Boy?

Is that Night Girl standing down there on the cover of #48? Or is that just wishful thinking on my part?

It looks like Night Girl to me.

And I was wondering who was between Timber Wolf & Star Boy. I was thinking Projectra.

Solicit text added.

No solicitation text for L3W. Did I miss something saying that we'd be skipping a month? Or is poor George being treated for carpal tunnel?

The answer is yes to both! Turtle and Sizzle are the other two.

I love Night Girl. I wish she had crazy hair though, as an homage to the beehive she used to wear.

I wouldn't like that. Somehow, it always freaked me out. It's like Marge Simpson on tights with an owl on the breasts. Never clicked to me...

By the way, does this TP qualify? It doesn't say about LSH anywhere, but it does feature Superman stories featuring time travel (another hint to L3W?):

LOL! think it's funny to see Night Girl pops up so soon after the votes on Action, Reboot, and 3boot were completed. Good to see Night Girl, even though it's predictable that she will not made the cut. Turtle and Sizzle, hmmm....Strong feeling that Gazelle will make it. or this reminiscent of the foursome - Nemesis Kid, Karate Kid, Princess Projectra, and Ferro Lad? one of them traitor, one of them to sacrifice the life? either way, hope it's not Night Girl.

Imra looks po'ed.

Beehive! Beehive! Beehive!

this cover is a total homage to Shooter's first issue of Adventure!
nice job Francis.

That cover has me stoked! That Turtle dude is gonna be one of those 'Stone Boy' characters that has the exciting power to become invulnerable, but also useless, I suspect.

Night Girl is looking good, although I am a huge fan of the beehive. Still, I'm not that shallow, I'll be happy to see her without it as well. Eeenteresting that this Night Girl is joining a Legion that has no Cosmic Boy at the moment, making it possible that she's not trying to join the Legion just to get close to a boy.

Sizzle. Not feeling the name, but until Sun Boy come back from wherever he and Terror Firma are holed up, the team's got room for someone with a fiery disposition.

and note, three

FEMALES!!!! <span style="font-size: 6px;">(and a turtle)</span>

Shooter's going to need a lot of refrigerators if he hopes to keep his message board bashers happy.

or Turtle is a direct descendant of Turtle Man, one of the Flash foe...the power is to slow down or to that kind of effect. Hmmm....

can't help noticing something on the cover....we have 15 Legion members...and who s the girl between Timber Wolf and Invisible Kid? Princess Projectra?

so no Sun Boy, Cos, Trip, and KK back yet? hmm...anyone missing?

Dream Girl...still dead?
no Dream Boy? Where's he? He's having a Disappearing Syndrome like Phantom Girl and Matter Eater Lad used to have before way back in the early issues of Adventure Comics.

Four missing Legionnaires = 4 new replacements?

who else is missing? no Wildfire...no Tenzil Kem.

When I saw "Turtle" my first reaction was "Jimmy Olsen's descendent". This Turtle guy has red hair like Jimmy. Knowing Shooter, the guy's name will be something "J'mee Olsen".

Although I'd love it if the Turtle was a descendant of Tom Tudbury.

I think you're both right about that being Projectra. That's who I think it is too!

I thought it was Ayla until I saw the closer one of her.

Darn- I was hoping Shooter would reintroduce Chemical King during his run. I'd really like to see him write the character and his powers-- making him shine the way he did with one of his other creations, Princess Projectra.

Guess he could still be in the issue, though.

Anyway, I love this cover and the 'Legion' vibe it gives off! Can't wait to meet threeboot Night Girl and discover what these other applicants are like.
