Yera's back on the Lost covers, but still no Gates. Hmm...

So Dragonwing is firmly established to be from China. I look forward to seeing China in the 30th century, like how we see Jacques' home in Africa (Cote d'Iviore, I think?) under Levitz. Speaking of, Jacques really needs a spotlight soon!

China as a political entity has been around for centuries so I can see it still being a place in a thousand years, unlike the Cote D'Ivoire, which is a colonial name (Ivory Coast in English) that is well past its sell by date even now.

Not sure what you mean by that, SAL. Cote d'Iviore is the name the country itself chose to be called even now.

I don't know if Levitz meant for it to still exist as a political entity in the 30th century, or it if was called as such in the actual comic - I'm just going by what I read online here: http://www.cosmicteams.com/legion/profiles/InvisibleKidJacques.html.

Why do colourists constantly get Jo's symbol wrong? It can't be that hard to remember that it's meant to be green.


Nice Batista cover otherwise. Love Vi and Cham's costume updates.

I also just noticed that Dawnstar seems to be wingless on the Legion Lost cover. For that matter, Yera seems to be bald!

It's sort of the green and purple outfit combined, imo.
Which I like.

I don't see Tellus on the LOST cover, either, or am I just missing him?

In between Dawny and Yera. He sort of blends in with the rubble if you look quick.

The missing wings are a mistake that will hopefully be corrected before the issue comes out.


IB, Yera was originally drawn as bald like Chameleon Boy is bald. I prefer her bald to the hair on her.

but does that Legion Lost #6 remind you of another Legion cover...kind of ...sort of...well you know? I am talking about Legion of Super Heroes first Baxter edition #1 where Wildfire, Dawnstar, Blok, Timber Wolf bursting out of the wall (tearing apart the wall) drawn by Keith Giffen? am I misremembering?

There was an interview somewhere (and sorry, can't for the life of me remember where) that said that the picture was rushed, that only part of it was inked before it was scanned, that the penciled-but-not-yet-inked parts didn't show up on the scan and that there was another missing part that would appear on the finished cover. I know that on the DC boards the various guesses to what was missing besides Dawny's wings that would be added were: Gates, Yera's hair and the Logo. In that order.

Thanks, Quis, I remember that as well. It just seems odd, since in the Retroboot she's ALWAYS been depicted with hair, that I can remember.

Thanks, NLL! I'm really hoping "Gates" is the correct answer, and they just didn't want to spoil his return.

Seeing bald Yera again makes me happy, even if it was an art/ink/coloring mistake.

And one can hope she will stay that way for a while. I am personnally hoping for Gates to be the 'missing piece' and pretty much convinced that the Logo is what will be added. Of the 3 possibilities, I think Yera's hair would be the longshot.
Looking at the picture: There is space for Dawny's wings. The Logo could be (and probably usually is) just imposed on the image after the picture is completed. There is even space for Gates (if he is somewhat changed, that space beside Yera's thigh could be his head... or Tellus' knee cap). There seems to be no place to put Yera's hair if it really is a case of a finished pencilled but not inked picture though.

aww Pov! We'll forgive you if you put on some pants. Get well soon wink

I prefer Yera with the hair myself. I dunno, she just looks better to me with it.

That said, let us focus on the bigger missing piece - GATES! I agree with NLL, there is enough space to sneak Gates in there!

Precisely. No matter which side of the follicle debate you fall on, the 'what is going to be added to the cover' issue is the more important question.

Well, the wings are kind of a given, as is the Logo posted on top, I think.
Yera's head is highlighted, so I don't think she's going to get hair, and I like her with hair, but bald is okay.

I couldn't find a place to insert Gates but then, I couldn't find Tellus until Ex pointed him out, thank-you very much.
sigh

BUT, NLL gave me some hope, hug !

Get well soon, POV!
