Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Visionaries of Tomorrow Barry: Costume Designs?

hey Barry and Darden !!

thanks for the info on the LONDON comic con .... i'm really thinking about going to this ??

i could probably get the day off work and get there for around 1pm !!

so what time will you be there till, Barry ??

and will you be at a particular stand [ do "DC" have their own ?? ]

and it would be cool to meet up with you, Darden !!

i'll have to see if i can get the Saturday, off .......

Matthew.

Hi Matthew - I'm going to be there from about noon - I'm signing at the Titan desk from 3-4.
Hope you can make it!

It's taken me awhile to weigh in on this, but here are my reactions to the costumes (or asmuch as we can see) from the back of Titans/Legion:

Starboy: awesome. simple and powerful as well as a clear connection to the past.
Cham: Though I can understand the reasoning behind the symbols, they actually seem a little too simple for me. Will they change like E-Lad's glyphs? That'd be cool. I like the coal black eyes and the forehead markings, but like everyone else, it'll take awhile to not feel like he's missing antennae.
Cosmic Boy: Great update. I like the streamlining.
Shadow Lass: Like the costume, not so hot about the hair. Glad to hear she's actually going to be blue.
Lightning Lad: Cockrum should be happy. I wonder if the glowing legs are a bit too much.
Triplicate Girl: Doesn't seem all that different from her old costume (pre Coipel). I'm neutral on it.
Brainiac5: seems good to me. I don't mind the crew cut or the colors. He seems like he'd have a darker or less flamboyant color scheme. The wires are better than the pads on his face, but I wonder where those wires lead to?
Light Lass: Awesome. My favorite along with Starboy.
Sun Boy: Another nice updating of an old look.
Dream Girl: Looks ok - the clouds or whatever on her legs might be really nice depending on how it turns out.
Element Lad: Great look. I totally get the "mystic" aesthetic in relation to the nature of his abilities. Love the shifting glyphs. I'm not sure if I totally dig the colors, but it seems like what we're seeing here might not be exactly what we'll see when the series launches. For some reason I think Jan should have more muted colors. Soul patch? Um....I dunno about that one.
Colossal Boy: Looks kinda bland from what I can see here.
Phantom Girl: It's a nice design (I like the gloves, not so much the earrings), but I was never a big fan of the bell-bottom look and I loved her previous look so it'll take me awhile to get used to the change.
Vi: can't see too much, but I like the return to green and black.
Projectra (Sensor Girl?): I like the costume a lot. Only reservation is the "headboard" part of her carapice. Looks cumbersome.
Saturn Girl: I think she looks too close to her previous incarnation (especially the center stripe look). Could've done with more updating.
Karate Kid: Not crazy about the pajama look, apprehensive about the apparent race change.

Thanks for participating in the thread Barry. I'll chime in my appreciation for the tidbits and feedback!

Oh yeah ... where's WILDFIRE?!?!

thanks for the info !!!

i'm working on getting there ........

Matthew.

i think i can go to London tomorrow !!

so i guess i'll see you there, Barry !! i can't wait ....

and hey Darden !! we'll have to meet up ??

[ my train gets to London around 1pm, and i have to leave around 4.30pm ]

hope fully that will be enough time ....

Matthew.

Yippie I get to make the Princess Jealous

Matthew, I get in a bit sooner than that am and staying over on the Saturday night so I can be pretty flexible. There is a panel at 1.00 that Dan Didio is on that I fancy seeing so we could meet up at that or just after.

Then we can gang up on Barry and I'll hold him down and you can "persuade" him to tell us lots of teasers.

See you guys there too, am trying to persuade B and Alan to stop doing DIY and come too.... and it must be B's round (like that'd ever happen!)

I really like the new Legion look. Just enough connection to the Legion I read 15 years ago with the promise of being something better than we've ever seen.

My 2 cents-worth:

Unplug Lightning Lad's legs from time to time. It hurts to look at them.

Ditch Saturn Girl's cape and cuffed gloves.

Ditto Element Lad's. If he is still/was ever gay, he'd never cover up a cute butt with a table cloth from the Martha Stewart K-Mart collection. (Please let him be gay. It seems I was attracted to him long before I knew that either he or I was gay.)

Long Live the Legion's new creative team!

yeah i can go !!

see you tomorrow .... and hopefully we'll get some info off Barry !!

btw you met him a while back, didn't you ??

Matthew.

DIY is very tiring and thirsty work you know.

And if I get B to buy me a drink then she can show me exactly what to do with that trumpet.

Matt

Yup we met up at Bristol. Not sure if he'll remember me though, it was pretty busy for him.

If Sonnie, Numf and B can turn up then we have a mini LW gathering.

Pictures pictures PICTURES!!!

I don't even know what Kitson looks like.

sorry !! but Darden and i didn't get any pictures !! [ although, i had to leave early, and Darden was going to the station with Barry, so he may yet have one !! ]

but !!! we did get some cool info !!!

so my other thread on the LSH page .....

Matthew.

That's ok Matt. That sketch more than makes up for it!!
...and all the great gossip has me giddy.



Now I can't wait to "debrief" Faraway too.

All in all a very successful mission for a pair of experienced LMBP operatives such as you two. Well done.

Nice job on your mission Matt...
We will see what we can get out of him in Dallas.

Maybe a few beers will loosen him up. Right Barry? lol

Maybe

Well maybe that layover on the way to Dallas isn't too short afterall......

hi i'm Luca of the micros group! you too???
this micros are great!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Barry, the new stuff in B and W looks great. Here's hoping the right colors only add to it.

I know some folk have said that this is it for them and the Legion. Can't say in all honesty i was that high on the new concept, but i will trust ya', lol. But the art work looks fantastic.

Thanks Rickshaw - advance orders suggest there are a LOT more people joining us than leaving! So I'm hoping even the doubters will be won over!

Hope you enjoy the new series

If possible, i wanted to ask about Easter eggs.

I know that a lot of us will be disecting each panel until the excitement wears off. But i cant help thinking about it after reading about Mr. Lampert's passing. Since Flash had a certain connection with the Legion, albiet tenously, will we be seeing any lil easter eggs to past versions and creators? Thanks.

Speaking of easter eggs, are we going to see more 21st century aliens in the 31st than in pervious versions? I'm not saying they have to be Legionnaires or important characeters or anything (I'm not saying they can't be either), but I would hope we could see a lot of the alien species that have been introduced to the current day DCU to give it a bit of continuity without being overt about it.

I guarantee plenty of easter eggs but I should caution that they won't always be easy to spot - that's where the fun for me comes in
So far no one has been able to spot all the little visual 'eggs' I've included - even Steve Wacker has needed a couple of clues to decipher some of them!

....and the gauntlet has been flung.

Barry, out of curiosity, is the macrobot that Colossal Boy is fighting based off the Iron Giant? the proportions look about the same, and I just get that vibe from it...
I loved that movie, and was disapointed that it didn't get more attention. It was a great animation flick that didn't break out into song every five minutes.
