Hi Folks Apologies for the time taken to post these - and that I can't even find the initial thread that they were requested in.....BUT ANYWAY...here is a scan of the recreation room page from #1 and a scan of the cover to #4 in it's inked version.   Click on the thumbnails for larger versions - thanks as always to Nightcralwer for hosting these! Hope you all had a great 4th of July! I'll set to trying to find the Lightning Lad scans requested next!

You must use a very sharp pencil!  The inked version of #4 is very dramatic. I'm finding a lot of noir elements in this new Legion, in the story but very much emphasised in the art. There are some very dark scenes - Cos speaking to Triplicate Girl as she reports on her spy dates, Phantom Girl in Brainy's lab - very sinister. Delicious! (Or should I say "Mmmm - pulpy!")
Holy Cats of Egypt!

I agree on the pulpy. I like that we are getting a Metropolis type of sci-fi pulp (vs. the silly 1950s futurama stuff).
That is an amazing inked cover! I love this Lightning Lad (maybe more than any other) and that Science Police officer rocks!

Thanks guys - I do enjoy the 'noir' scenes and hopefully playing up the contrast with the brighter moments (not that the Legion has had many of those in recent issues)

You know what I love about these covers of Barry's? Unlike most, the black and white (either inked or not) have just as much life as the colored versions. They're just perfect.

Very nice!
I've got to agree that the black and white pictures are excellent and the noir moments being delicious in the series.
These are great, thanks Barry.

Barry, you space-rawk! I'll admit very quietly that Barry's pencils are 80% of the reason I'm reading the new Legion. Don't tell Mark...

Ooo I just noticed - who's 'Neat Boots Guy' playing fooseball with Element Lad in the Rec Room. I don't know where my copy of LoSH 1 is at the moment...

I'd love to oblige, but that would give away a new character design and they're not due for a few months

WOT?!? Neat Boots Guy (maybe Neat Boots Kid)is a real character? He/She can't be all that great at fooseball - Element Lad isn't even paying attention to the game

So there's at least four unidentified characters in that rec panel:
Neat Boots Kid
Big Heavy Cape Guy (lower left corner)
Hood Kid (lower right corner)
At the Bar Boy (talking to Dream Girl)
Plus, what might be Vi and two other tiny people on the table.
And then there's the two women that Garth is talking to on the balcony on the page before.
