Text is from the Comicon slideshow. In October, the dream of a United Planets may be dissolving into hopelessness when an all-out brawl breaks out between the Legion and the agents of Terror Firma. It all happens in LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES 11, written by Mark Waid with art by Barry Kitson & Mick Gray.  [EDIT: the above cover is for issue #12, not for #11. Here's the real cover -  ]

Best fight scene yet.
It the pale-skinned, blue-haired, female alien coming in between Brin and Saturn Girl someone we should know?
Reminded me a 'missing' character who hasn't been seen in a year or so when I first saw the cover.

THE GOOD
- Terror Firma (plot advancement at last?)
- Micro Lad vs. Elysion. Beautiful!
- Brin is back!
- Butt-kicking Phantom Girl looks swell
- A new mystery character (white-haired girl)
- No Cos or Brainy. Yay!
- Barry's artwork, of course
THE BAD
- Ultra Boy ... again
- Saturn Girl resorting to physical combat (her mind powers are really being downplayed in this series)
- Still no Violet. Grrrr.
THE UGLY
- That snake had better be Chameleon

I know this is my hobby-horse but the colours seem a lot more dynamic here than they usually do. They're worlds apart from the cover 2 issues before it. Me like!

Who's the blonde chick that was knocked out by Phantom Girl? IS she friend or foe?

This is the first time when I've ever thought to myself, "Phantom Girl -- what a babe!" I'm particularly impressed by the beauty queen hair, even in the midst of battle. That's what makes this Legion so great - insanely beautiful art. Well done Barry.

with all the talk about splintering amongst the team, it makes me wonder where all the other (ex-?) Legionnaires are in this issue...

The cover was drawn by Barry Kitson, right? My god, it's good! In fact, I think that it's the best cover yet!
By the way, does the wording of the explanatory text make anybody else besides me think that some sort of truce or alliance between Terror Firma and at least a faction of the Legion may be coming very soon?
If the meek shall inherit inherit the Earth, then I at least want Baffin Island - and a property manager to work for me who is made of sterner stuff than I.

This may be the hottest Tinya ever, hotter even than Cockrum/Grell.

My longstanding crush on Tinya is downright explosive at this point! Possibly my fave pic of her ever!

As punishment for your forgetfulness, go back and read issue #5 five times a day for five days straight. [/b]I was just asking out of curiosity, i wish i could spend a bundle on all the Legion stuff published after the Blight fiasco...all those mini, maxi-series, the next rebooted Legion, yadda, yadda, yadda.... Ah for the good old days when things were so less complicated - before CRISIS and ZERO HOUR...

LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #11
Written by Mark Waid, art by Barry Kitson and Mick Gray, cover by Kitson.
On the eve of galactic destruction, with the dream of a United Planets dissolving into hopelessness, only an all-out brawl between the Legion and the agents of Terror Firma can halt the coming invasion ‹-provided a key player in the war finds within herself an unexpected power!
40 pages, $2.99, in stores on Oct. 26.
So could it be the mystery woman in the centre of the cover? We haven't seen her before or have we?

My guess is that the "key player" is "powerless" Projectra.

That's what I'd guess, too. Nice to see Brin back.

Maybe Dream Girl finds the power to not believe her predictions.
