I don't really love Moy's art, but I think this could be quite fun. I can think of several awesome interactions various cast members from both sides could have...

Two new Legion minis - does this mean we have to apologize to Mr. Didio?

FOUR different Legion titles in October. It's like they're the X-men now.

There's an interview with Roberson about the book over at CBR here . It will indeed include Brainy vs. Spock interaction.

Hey, Kids! My "Cranky and Kitschy" collage art is now viewable on ipernity! Drop by and tell me that I sent you. *updated often!*

They were reboot artists, sometimes called the Archies. I personally loved their youthful outlook on the Legion, especially since this group was presented as much younger than the original Legionnaires had become. Sort of like the current retroboot becoming the younger #1boot.

The author indicates the he will pair off the even dozen characters for humor/conflict:
Verified:
Kirk- Cosmic Boy
Spock- Brainy
McCoy- Lightning Lad
Guesses for the rest?
Uhura- Saturn Girl both feminine communicators
Sulu- Cham both considered to be "inscrutable"
Chekov- Shady no obvious reason other than there the only ones left...

Those are logical, although it might be more fun to pair up Brainy with McCoy and Kirk with Saturn Girl (in pink bikini).

I think Cham and Spock would make an interesting pairing, as each was the token "alien-looking" character back in the 60s.
First comic books ever bought: A DC four-for-47-cents grab bag that included Adventure #331. The rest is history.

...so I just read the interview, and it's a little disappointing that the entire Legion won't be used in some way - seems like kind of a shame to have such a large potential cast available and not use them all.
I think it would have been really cool if they broke the LSH up into various squads that had to journey to different periods Starfleet history - that way they could still keep the actual cast at a manageable size each issue, and you could have different Legionnaires for different Star Trek crews.
Matter-Eater Lad and Neelix from Voyager, Deanna Troy from Next Gen and Tellus, Odo from DS9 and Cham...loads of potential for character interplay!

Haven't the Moys also done quite a bit of Star Trek work? Seems like a natural choice for me.

According to the interview, Mr. Scott is not part of the Star Trek group. Too bad!
Come to think of it, the Legion could use a Scotty type of character, an amiable, exceptionally competent tech guy. Chuck played that role to some extent in the DnA Legion, although he wasn't as central to the story as Mr. Scott is to Star Trek.

I'd love for the Legion to have more non-mission-team members, people like Gear (mechanic), Impulse (medic), Chuck (pilot), M'Rissey (PR / HR dude) and Theena (monitor board duty lass).

If Giffen had anything to do with it, you know Karate Kid would be teamed with a red shirt.

I just hope this sells well enough they decide to do it again with "Doctor Who." Can you imagine the ramifications of a Time Bubble crashing with the TARDIS mid-timestream?

Unfortunately, no matter how well the Star Trek/Legion crossover sells, they can't just "do it again" with Dr. Who. There are licensing issues and legal issues involved. Look at how long it took to finally publish the JLA/Avengers crossover.

Well, maybe. But we could get a Legion/Bugs Bunny & Daffy Duck cross over pretty quick.
