Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Visionaries of Tomorrow Francis Manapul Interview: The Start of Something Big!

Maybe he has been found. Maybe he's serving time in prison. Imagine back-up stories of Rokk's prison escapades. Oh, the possibilities.

On another note. I'm surprised no one has yet noted the one thing that Ayla's costume reminds me of: Emerald Vi.

a note on Timber Wolf: i wish artists/writers would remember that he's a WOLF, a canine. A wolverine is in the badger/weasel family. they are not dogs. AND Timber Wolf's powers are super agility/acrobatics/strenght/speed. he should zoom around somersaulting and whacking the bad guys like Spiderman (although with more grace).

Spider-Man is pretty graceful.

he is, but the standard Ditko poses with the feet-- although they look cool and distinctive, --don't say circus acrobat/ballet dancer.

Grrr. No Dream Girl. :-(

i just noticed that the file is labeled SGLEG-Cv38.jpg.
so this will be a wrap-around cover for issue #38?
Supergirl still in title?
if they are doing a wrap-around, the writer must be a big name.
thoughts?

Michael has a rumor over at The Omnicom about the writer. Supposedly it was leaked that his first name is Jim. Take that for what you will.

Jim? Huh, who could that be? Shoot! I can't think of anyone!

Starlin? Shooter? Lee?

Jim Beam would be popular around here

Shooter supposedly took himself out of the running back in April. Lee, does he write? I'd rather see him as the artist.

Now Starlin is one I vaguely thought of but didn't go much farther. I know he isn't a favorite of a lot of people here but he is one of mine. And I'd rather see him on as writer than as artist (although I do still like his art).

What I've been trying to come up with is maybe a novelist, since they are the hot commodity in the comics arena right now, who might fit the bill.

I've seen Starlin write science fictiony things, Like Adam Warlock kinda stuff, but I'm drawing a blank on any superhero stories, although I'm thinking I he did something with the Avengers at some point.

Its the science-fiction type of story I think would fit from him. For me the Legion needs a good sci-fi background along with the team. Otherwise it just winds up being the JLA/Teen Titans/JSA/X-Men in the future. Waid could do it, to an extent. I think Starlin would be better at it.

Although we'd have to prepare ourselves for The Church of (insert name here) to be introduced. He really seems to like using quasi-religious organizations in his stories.

Well, we've already got the church/cult of Validus, more or less.

Probably as logical a conclusion to a 50th year anniversary as any, Rokk back on the team, Clone Kent killed again only this time even bloodier (oops, did I let that slip?).


How many toes does a wolf have?

Barefeet aside, is it just a few liking that costume? I think it's great myself. The colors, the patterns, the insignia, pretty much everything.

I hate quasi organizations. Just simplify the idea and give it a face! A villain! Though I do like the cult of Validus. As long as it has a face,a powerful front figure...like Validus.

The artist did mention he will stay on as long as the writer does. Which makes it seem it is a big name writer.

I haven't read all the comments, yet, but I think this art is awesome! Very exciting!

I like Light Lass's new look. She looked good with short hair, but looks better with long hair (then again, I think almost everybody looks better with long hair.)

Otherwise, the art reminds me too much of the Guys Who Ruined the X-Men and then Founded Image.

I like Ayla's new look, too, actually. Kind of nice to see a female character getting a more modest outfit instead of a less modest one for a change.

I love it, as well. Shaggy hair, but no claws. That's as it should be. And the costume is really cool, too. The bare feet are interesting, although I'm not sure why it's necessary. Maybe so he can use is super agility to climb better or something.

Haha maybe Ayla and Tinya traded love lives. Ie Ayla found someone and took herself off the market but Tinya's finally testing the waters.

I have to say I like some of the new looks but not all.

Colossal Boy/Micro Lad reminds me of a cardasian from Star Trek with the brown pack on the sides of his neck.

Shadow Lass in brown is terrible.

Invisible Kid needs the headband.

Phantom Girl...I'm gonna have to wait and see what her legs look like. If she still has the bell bottoms...I'll be in love!

Trip looks alike to me now. No color difference when she splits looks odd to me now.

Love Brainy new outfit. Makes him look more dictator like.

Cham's chain mail reminds me of his 1st costume back in the 60's. Love it.

The only one that really grats my nerves is Saturn Girl's thou. It reminds me TOO much of Binary's costume. If the red were pink it would look better to me I think.

The rest I'll have to wait and see.

It's for his retractable Adamantium toenails...

Personally, I'm growing more and more disappointed this series didn't wrap up with Mark & Barry.

Alright, I want to join in the character-by-character analysis...

1. First of all, I like that Gim looks like our traditional Gim, with the headgear. I don't care for the wierd brown stripey thing.

2.Star Boy and Sun Boy seem to look the same as the beginning of this era, which to me is a perfect reason to leave them in the background.
I have no complaints, there.

3. I love Ayla with the flippy hair! The costume is fine. Goes right along with any of her others.

4. I like Wild Brin. I count 5 toes on each foot. His orange-y tan looks a bit sprayed on, but we'll see how that works out in the book.

5. I like Vi in black and violet.

6. I like Lu not color coded. Better for espionage. I like her short hair.

7. Element Lad seems to only have changes for the sake of changes.

8. Lyle looks awesome in white! He doesn't need a headband.

9. Whoo!!! Tiny looks HOT!!! Brown eyes... is that new?

10. I approve of Jo's look. I've always believed that since he can only use one power at a time, he would develop himself to be as powerful as he can.

11. It takes some getting used to, Garth with no white at all, but I do like the otherwise classic look.

12. LOVE Imra with super long hair!! The costume is fine, IMO.

13-15. Jecky, Cham and KK all get a "fine by me" from me. Don't dislike what I can see, not in love with what I can see.

16. I like Shady in earth-tones. It's really different than normal for her. Of course I prefer that gorgeous blue skin in black, but I'll give this a thumb's up for now.

17. Love seeing Brainy's old belt! Great. That symbol on his chest seems to just glare there, so I don't really care for it, but he looks good with his hair filled out a bit.

I miss Dreamy....

Overall, a very dynamic shot! LLL!

Jim? As in James? Robinson would write a helluva book.

As for the new looking Legion... it's a nice spread there. Sure, there's a certain X-Men feel, circa 1997. It also reminds me of Copiel, and that is never a bad thing.

I like Brainy and Ayla. KK & Saturn Girl don't really work for me. The brutish look for Jo took a moment, and Brin too. Tinya is still the hottest lady. I like the lack of white, especially in Garth's uniform. They look less spandex like to me. Garth is certainly the best looking.

Don't kill me, but Lyle's costume doesn't look good. Barry had him right with the blue jacket. He's the only one with a letter on his chest! Not liking it, but overall I'm diggin the energetic feel of this picture.
