Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Adventure Comics #8/511: Preview/Discussion (Spoilers!)

It's so weird - I was just posting on another thread that I've been getting on board with the whole idea of reducing the sexual objectification of female comic book characters, and then here come Jeckie's boobs!

This is especially disturbing/disappointing/distracting because Jecky went from the extremely revealing Cockrum costume to the rather conservative Sensor Girl costume. Now it seems she's stepped back into sexy girl mode again. (Hmmm... evidently I've forgotten/ignored 3boot Jecky.)

What is so wrong about Jeckie's costume is that last time we saw her she was looking at a photo of her late husband and crying. A woman in mourning does not dress like that

I honestly don't think I've seen a worse Legion costume EVAH.

Do we know who is actually responsible for this?

I thought Levitz was taking over this series. Does anyone know if he is, and if so, with which issue will his stories start?

Just checked out another thread and found the answer to my question. Carry on...

hmmm I actually like Jeckie's outfit...

Okay, look, if anyone has any complaints about Jeckie's redesign, why don't you just TELL Manapul? He's got a DA page with a link to his email address.

I doubt Francis designed it. He's just drawing the cover.

"I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in and stops my mind from wandering..."

As an illusionist, Jeckie should know the value of keeping things hidden until necessity presents itself.

Oh yeah, one more thing. That comment about how this isn't how a woman in mourning dresses.

Two words: Cat. Grant.

I am one of those few on here that actually like Jeckie's new look. The old one was just too dated and serious (which fit the character at that particular time), but it's time to move on... so why not a sexier look to her costume? Heck she's a master illusionist so she can mask this new costume to look like something different any time she wants.
The other Legionnaires on Francis' beautiful cover look fantastic!
When did Element Lad make it back to the 21st century anyway? Did I miss and issue somewhere?

I can't wait for all this new Legion hype to start up again early next year!

Maybe she's got a brand new man? LOVE the Sgt. Pepper's reference. Mind wandering, indeed.

On a somewhat related matter, was Jeckie ever part of the Espionage Squad? On the one hand, it seems like a no brainer. But I don't recall her doing that. Jeckie always seemed too royal to actually get her hands dirty. Nice to see her moving out of her comfort zone. And what better way to get away from feelings of loss?

The jeckie's costume it's not badly completely, but the mask and the blond hair exceed.
Bring back the platitum blonde hair and her pretty face.

I would rather have Queen Projectra...and what happened to Matter-Eater-Lad? Isn't he in the 21st century with that team?

It's funny, when I first saw Thom kallor in JSA I got really excited. And then we had the Lightning Saga and Legion of Three Worlds. All of them notched up the excitement a little more. I have been waiting for THIS Legion for a very long time. But this cover, along with the news of Levitz returning to the team, thrills me to no end. I haven't been this excited about the Legion in a very very long time.

But doesn't anyone else think the random boob reveal is just a bit too adolescent?

If they're going for that then why not have Star "Man" (is it? or Boy now?) with his bum cheeks cut out?

It's ridiculous. "I'm so mysterious with my big mask...now check out these hooters"

I think in Legion fandom starman's buttcheeks count as more fanservice than Jeckie's breasts. DC do not know their market.

Did we ever get to the bottom of who is responsible for this horrific redesign?

It wasn't Manapul, believe me. He said on deviantart he wasn't responsible for the redesigns. He was just working with what they gave him.

i blame Gary (Dawnstar needs a boob window, and Yera looks too alien bald) Frank.

Yes. It does seem that the womens' costumes are being designed to appeal to an adolescent age group. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of decolletage but really how functional is it for an action costume? How do those porno-sized boobs stay in in a fight?

Spot applications of Brainy's unbreachable force field, I imagine.

So that's why Brainy was walking around the clubhouse with an uncharacteristic smile!

As I said in a neighboring thread: Spirit Gum. [ouch!] Or, for those who recall Carrie Fisher's dress in the first Star Wars flick: Gaffer's tape. [OUCH!!]

I love how even the legendary Power Girl "boob window" isn't a comparatively modest "window" anymore, as it was in the 1980s. It's more like a "boob triple-wide sliding patio door." Feh.
