Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Long Live the Legion! Anticipating the Solicit for Legion #16!!! ... SPOILERS

So what is the consensus here? Will the solicit for issue #16 come out on Monday the 12th, or will it happen on the 19th?

Will we get it at all, with all the secrets behind Crisis??

I for one CAN'T wait. Why does the clock have to move so slow!?!?

If anyone snags an early image, make sure and save it to your hard drive, for all to share.

Looking forward to another Kitson Legion Masterpiece!

LLLater!

[edit note: added a spoiler tag to the subject.]

more likely on 18th...sorry if things look so slow.

'Twould be a pity if the after-effects of this latest CRISIS impact on the Legion that they have to start from scratch in a new mag - Time Trapper influence or not!

Okay, I'm dense tonight.

LAM, isn't that exactly what happened?

Might have to clarify my comment a little for your benefit, Arachne: It would be a shame for this current Legion's run to be cut so short - just as it starts to pick up with the various storylines and character build-ups...

Yeah, but the post-boot Legion disapeared when some force started "pounding on reality" (maybe not an exact quote). Seems to me that was Kal-L coming out of hiding. If that's true then The Legion was already canceled and rebooted to fit with the post Infinte Crisis universe. We just found out about it before the rest.

Solicitations will be available at 5:00 PM (EST), Monday, December 11.

ah...that's a good news.....but bad news....we have to wait til Jan 3rd week for the next issue #17...*gasp*

Looks like the book is being cut back to the standard 32 pages.

I know the AR amongst us will need to match fists to names.

[edit note: Replaced the image with a much bigger version. Better detail. ]

Not sure about the page count. It wouldn't be the first time they assumed LSH had the standard page count.

That's the best depiction of Kara I've seen since she reappeared in the DCU. Of course, it might be a different Kara all together.

:wolfwhistle:

Now this almost makes me like that two piece costume. I would still like her to get a more traditional look. But this Kara is a lot more attractive than the ultra skinny ones i have been seeing recently.

I'll take Barry's interpretation of Kara over Michael Turner's anyday!

What year would that be? Or did I miss it?

Is that Dream girl's hand on the right?

And is Kara symbolically placing herself between that hand and Brainiac's on the left?

I like the cover and can't wait to see how it happens.

Off topic here....but the solicts for Birds of Prey, Supergirl, Robin and Teen Titans all had blacked out characters. That gives me a collective WTF man. Can't wait to see all that happens from OYL. ...Back to topic...

Can't wait to see the new logo too.

WOW WOW WOW WOW!

That was worth the wait!

Thanks Barry!!

LLLater!

Let the Super-cover-hogging begin!!

At first I was all against this, but since it's probably only for the IC crossover, I can deal. Gotta admit that cover is HOT!

Looking forward to it-- assuming Dream Girl isn't really dead.

Note the fact that the solicitation was listed between JSA and Outsiders (in other words, as beginning with "L", not "S"), and not with the Super-titles. This seems to indicate the title change is only temporary.

Also note how good this Supergirl looks when drawn by an artist.

My guesses: Top Row - Sun Boy, Star Boy, Timber Wolf, Phantom Girl, Next Row - Shadow Lass, Colossal Boy, Saturn Girl, Element Lad, Next Row - Brainiac 5, Cosmic Boy, Dream Girl, Shrinking Violet, Bottom Row - Triplicate Girl, Lighting Lad, Karate Kid or Ultra Boy (meaning one isn't shown ), & Chameleon. Also among those you can't tell, I assume Light Lass, Invisible Kid, & Princess Projectra.

It appears by the cover that none of the time-lost Legionniares make it past #15.

Yes it is exciting. Yes she looks great. While I've read the first few issues of her series...I didn't care for it. But I loved her in the last JLA.

The costume is cool but the yellow trim on the cape is a bit Marvel family for me...for some reason.

Now the bitter old man and cautious Legion fan. DC is crazy. I think it's totally not needed. The Legion does need a boost in sales. I'm an all or nothing guy at this point. Guys like Waid, Geoff, etc are very careful around continuity but it's things they never expect that totally screw things up.

Now where are Tyroc, Blok, and Dawnstar. That cover had more buzz than this one. I hope that tells DC something.

I believe the costume is a hint. This is the costume (based on the trim on the cape and costume) of the current Supergirl. Does she become time-tossed because of the Crisis?

Don't read to much into the relative posting volume Jorge. I think there appeared to be more buzz only because people that post to Legion Boards are generally Legion fans from the old days.

A prominent Supergirl cover won't generate the same number of posts other than from the usual "Waid's off his rocker" crew because most Supergirl fans don't want to have anything to do with us. It's safe to say that Supergirl has a much broader appeal and is much more recognizable than Legion.

So the one-two punch of the two upcoming issues (pre-boot cover and now SG) could introduce (or reintroduce) people that haven't bought the new series to LSH.

1) Recapture the wayward former customer
2) Expand the base
