Just read it! Love the cover. Very interesting Dream Girl/Dream Boy stuff. I like if this is the way her powers are going to be now. Just appearing to certain members in dreams. Loved Barry's art! Not just the main characters, but the backgrounds (Metropolis!) and unknown characters. The telekinetic Wanderer looks like a member of the Shiar Imperial Guard! I like. I won't talk smach of Cos anymore. He showed some stones! That Lobo looking Wanderer "Sweet Neron"? Hmmm? White Witch's costume looks like a wedding dress. I never noticed but I like it. Invisible Boy's alien arm? Huh? Not sure I like that. Nice "trap" at the end. Hope we certainly get some Wanderers to join the Legion. I like the big guy and TK girl among others. Can't wait for next issue.

Originally posted by The Man From Cargg: Again...my main complaint with this book...too many non-Legion heroes to keep track of or care about. I want a "Legion of Super-Heroes" comic...not a "Legion of Super-Heroes and some Wanderers and those guys Sun Boy fell in with and some random Legion fans with powers who hang around the real Legion" comic. I couldn't have summed it up better myself, Cargg. I don't get it. Comic book fans and creators have been complaining about the Legion having too big of a cast of characters for decades and now instead of 25 Legionnaires, we've got thousands if not millions. I think the core Legion needs to do something to alienate all the groupies so that they'll disperse and go home. I also agree about Triplicate Girl being left to deal with the Dominators and their cloaked torture chamber satellite thingy by herself with no powers. Cos tells her to drop it on as many robots as possible. That sounds pretty dangerous for someone who can't fly and has no powers. And if she decloaks it as he told her to do, she'll be a target for friendly fire.

I'm really glad most of you enjoyed Cos this issue! The rings can't be used on Earth - hence torn costumes, but as soon as they got to the Dominators' homeworld which was virus free they could use them - so the costumes returned to normal.(or at least that was my thinking). It was the Wanderer that gave IK the new arm...possibly a story in itself to build from there... I know where Mark and I were going with Trip's situation, but now I'd be guessing with you guys. Hope you'll enjoy the conclusion to all this over the next two months!

i really liked this issue! i'm like a little kid, i'm just enjoying the ride. After reading all that has been said on this issue in this topic, i noticed a lot of valid points to which i agree, but i think sometimes we are analyzing it too much, as the adults/ grown-up that we are for the majority of us. "It should be like that...." or "why is doing that and not this, ..." etc....I repeat that a lot of this points are valid, but me, i'm letting the story and my imagination do the work, and just enjoy it! Of course, that it is not preventing me to see it too, like all of you, but sometimes i think it's good to just let go and let the story transport us in another world. Legion is still my first read as soon as i got it. Way to go Barry! I can't wait for the next two issues.

"And at long last, the Dominators' link to the events of 52 is revealed!"
Did I miss this part? Can someone point it out to me?
Anyway, I loved the art, thanks Barry! But this story isn't grabbing me anymore. I need more than this for my Legion experience.
I was more excited by the one page in JLA than the whole book here. I actually love this version of the Legion and all of the work that Mark and Barry have done to bring it to life, but this storyline and how it's unfolding is leaving me cold.

And for me, this arc has been the best since issues 2-7 or so.
I didn't even hate Dream Boy this time! How could I-- Dream Girl was there! And she dissed his girly-pants!
So yeah, I really enjoyed the issue... for the first time in a long time, no real complaints. Good job, everyone.
(I will admit to being more psyched for the JLA/JSA/LSH event coming up, though!)

Obviously when Trip gets better she'll discover that she can now only split into two (not three) seperate beings!

wow. this arc has been rather gruesome. but overall I am enjoying story.
I wonder what the aftermath will be? the UP government has been shown to be ineffectual, will this lead to changes, will the Legion become independent again? perhaps this could lead to the introduction of a rich sponsor for the team. time will tell.

Rather enjoyed this issue - it didn't have as many funny moments as we've been used to, not even the wonderful Brainy making a thoroughly sarcastic remark - he must be worried!
I wonder if the floating cloaked dominators fortress that Cos and Trip were on will become the new headquarters - there is a prescedent for the group taking on ex-prisons and it's a good way of losing the millions of l'il l legionnaires.
Cos doesn't have nipples!
Dream Boy will finally get some action by the look of things - and about time too!
Not sure if I like the idea of the leghion and wanderers invading an alien world but will see where it takes us.
LLL
Legion Worlds NINE - wait, there's even more ongoing amazing adventures? Yup, and you'll only find them in the Bits o' Legionnaire Business Forum.

Again with the "healing factor" for Timber Wolf.
I am thinking that Mon-El, Ultra Boy and Timber Wolf's injuries were all part of the Legions' deception.
So what.

I had speculated that Phantom Girl was looking for the Phantom Zone projector in the rubble of Legion HQ, but then I had another idea: maybe she was looking for Imsk. After all, Brainy wouldn't just leave the Imskians down there in the wreckage, would he?

Actually, I think I'm reverting to the 'its just not my Legion camp' again, despite trying not to. Probably the most pronounced I've felt that since right before DnA. Just not the least bit excited about what's going down in the Legion's title anymore.
