Awesome -- thanks as always for sharing Barry! Very interesting to note that U-Boy was originally much closer -- an indication of where the plot's going??

Supergirl looks so wistful, like she feels out of place. Very nice atmosphere.

No knock on Mark, but it's the art that has me excited for her appearance in LEGION. smile

Always nice to see upcoming covers.
Now for a couple comments/questions:
1. Is that small pic in the upper left corner you?
Why does it look iike he/you is sleeping?
2. I tried clicking on my thumbnail. All I got was a (very) sore thumb. Guess my thumbnail is very lazy.
eek

Gorgeous as always. I don't recall who is taking over for Turner (?) on Supergirl but I'd love to continue seeing Barry draw Kara after her Legion stint.

It is nice to see Supergirl for a change isn't it. Not the pretenders since Crisis. Her current series included in this statement.

I love the large difference in the original sketch, and the final version, but how you can still see they are versions of the same piece. A very clear through-line of vision.

And Barry, I've mocked Supergirl's new costume, but somehow, you make it work, and not seem entirely silly.

I was going to post this as a seperate topic, but didn't see the reason for it. Anyway, can someone please explain this whole "Supergirl issue". Is this Kara, the one scheduled to appear in LSH issue # 17, the same one that died in crisis...being that everyone seems to be "coming back" in some form or another? I didn't read DC's arc that covered her return and the battle between her and that "other Supergirl" who was with the Titans breifly. It seems like all of the other LSH fans are very excited to see her "return" to this book. Is because there is once again a Supergirl in these pages after so many years, or is it because "our Kara" is coming back?!? HELP!!!!!!!! I'm very confused.


Long Live the Legion!!!
