Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities Oh Yeah, That Forum: The Titans Cover to Titans/Legion one-shot

Hey all,

On his website this morning, Geoff Johns posted the cover to the Titans-Legion one-shot coming out in September. Here's a link (scroll down):

And if I'm seeing correctly, it looks like the Persuader is on the cover to Titans #16 in some kind of Iwo Jima pose with the rest of the Titans.

Let the speculation begin.....

Just to warn you, you'll need to be registered and logged in to Geoff's board in order to view this link.

Oh, and btw... regardless of how the story is, I LOVE the cover. Anything by Phil works for me

Spoilers below if you don't want to know, don't read.


With the cover being what it is... it looks like just about anything could happen with the Waid/Kitson run. Heck you could have a Fatal Five made up of Manos themselves from what I saw. I only see one version of the heroes though. Maybe they're just trying to go for a Fatal 25 or something.

That was a nice pick up on the Iwo Jima cover too Capt. Dallas. I don't know how WWII ties into the Legion/Titans crossover though. For now I'll just take it as an homage.

I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy the ride.

A postboot version of "The Fatal Five Who Twisted Time" perhaps?

Ack, I hate having to register just to see images.

Depends on the images I suppose

I can appreciate that sentiment.

So, can anyone figure out a way to post the image(s) on this thread?

Here's the pic for those who aren't registered/don't wanna register:

Hey, did you notice what Johns called Waid's new series?

Oh yeah.

Hm. After trying to take in the cover to the Titans/Legion crossover (and failing, I admit -- my eyes, my eyes ...), there's a wee detail which caught my attention.

It's likely just an artifact of the file, or of my screen resolution, so I offer the thought up to Legion World for immediate dissection. (Muahaha.)

Look, there, in the top left corner (more or less). Nice black and white uniform, there. Jarth? Possibly. Probably. Maybe.

But that hair looks distinctly blond to me ...

Dare one hope?

I was thinking that perhaps it was Garth in the midst of all that lightning, but since I don't see Ultra Boy any place else on the cover, I'm guessing it's probably him.

Bummer.

I noted the same thing, and for a fraction of an instant did let myself dare to hope. But I'm sure it's just Jarth. I hate seeing him on covers... What am I doing looking at spoilers anyway...

WOW great cover! i spot many different versions of the Fatal Five. i even see Caress and Flare in there. Is there the 2-Eye'd Cera Kesh Empress? and it means at least one of those Validus's (Validi?) is the child of Garth and Imra. this confirms without a doubt the role of some sort of time anomaly in the "revamp".

Sensor is a snake-woman still.
Kinetix is in her hulk form.
But I think that's Jan, not Jarth.

Dagnabbit I'm anxious.

all the legionnaires on the cover are the current versions. my guess is the story ends with the Legion returning to an altered future, and we have to wait till december and LSH #1 to see how things have been revamped.

Hmmm... kinda like a "Zero Hour", but rather than just starting back at the Founding, we'll join the story "already in progress?"

Remember that for many years, it was common to suggest that "DC" stood for "Deceptive Covers." Save your eyesight and blood pressure, amigos, by avoiding reading too much into it.

a busy cover but nice. I think like a lot of things this is a bit of a "spoiler tease" it may have some or no relevance to the story.

Interesting that clone el is center stage and seems to be torn between the 20th and 31st Century. Is that a metaphor for anything?

Maybe that's why he's suddenly bulkier than he was in Young Justice. Teenage Kal is stuck inside him

Who is that in the lower left corner next to Karate Kid and below a Validus' fist-wielding arm?

And who's in the top left quadrant-- to the left of Kid Quantum and above the Persuader?

GREAT cover, though-- makes me more excited about this special.

Is anyone vaguely reminded of Psycho Pirate when looking at the central Superboy pic?

Todd

Wow! What a cover! But who's the redhead in the black cape on the far left, under Kid Q?

Mystery lad: i think that next to KK is a version of Mano (the Sprouse version?); and left of Kid Q. is the current "serial killer" Sarya the Empress.

Yeah, I think you're right, GN. I'm seeing various costumes on Tharok, Mano, and Persuader, so I'm guessing that's the new Empress, before she got all greenified. But she should be a brunette shouldn't she?

Crap. I was hoping it was Lilith or Mysa in a new costume.

VERY nice cover.

Perhaps this time-whacking will be a way for Waid to "pick & choose" what elements of the LEGION he wants in his LSH series.

I hope we get back Garth & Jan and a normal early-Wade Kinetix.

space

I guess


Did anybody notice the other Legion-related character on another title's cover in the September solicits?

It ties in with the TITANS/LEGION special...

Kind of sad not to see anything under the 'L's, isn't it?

Todd

It looks like everything is current continuity, but I'm very excited to see what changes must be in store...especially with the Sayra-version Emerald Empress and postboot-Empress in the same shot. Curious, the legion of Fatal Five members the heroes seem to be up against. I can't wait for the story on this one.
