Okay, wow! He'll be writing both Adventure Comics and a new Legion of Super-Heroes book? That's exciting news!

It seems like the Superboy and the Legion: Secret Origin story will be in Adventure while he'll start from where Geoff Johns left off in the main Legion book.

I wonder if he's still doing an Adventure Comics annual.

I think this should be a fun ride. I give Paul some leeway when it comes to the Legion.

The new kid they have as artist looks great. What is it about the Legion being the training ground for artists that move on to much bigger things.

He does reiterate that someone's homeworld gets destroyed. He also says that one relationship has gone south in the missing time we have not seen them.

He says that he is picking up after his initial run, and then Geoff's stuff. This obviously means that the Baxter series happened in total. And the there are obvious things that have happened that we have not seen. With obvious changes/tweaks to continuity...

I'm getting excited. He also says that there is a story that Giffen wants to do with him...that is something that this fan is looking forward to.

From the cover they show...it looks like the peekaboo outfits continue for some others as well...

Please. I blacked out because I lost my footing as I stood up and hit my head on the coffee table. If you'll excuse me I have bits of scalp I need to scrub out while the paramedics arrive. Hmph.

Give it some time and this new artist might get to redesign some of those costumes.

Sorry Sarcasm Kid... smile

This new guy looks like a real find. I'm also hoping for some costume tweaks along the way.

Alice! That's it. Cinar's rendition of Saturn Girl reminded me of Alice from Detective Comics.

Although the marriage he's talking about better be Gim and Yera because I have a lot of ideas piled up for the Ranzzes when I break into the field.

I'm actually thinking Tamia/Lar or Jo/Tinya. I think Gim/Yera are okay, as they were still married during Geoff's stuff IIRC.

Random thoughts about that really cool group shot at the bottom of the post;

More guys have long hair (Garth, Brainy, Jo) and more girls have short hair (Imra, Tinya).

This new artist is making me like the costumes a little bit more than the last one (although this is still probably the worst costume Garth has ever had).

Even Night Girl has a boob window. Yeesh. Kudos to Imra and Ayla and Yera for keeping their chesticles in their shirts. Ditto, cheers to any of the menfolk who still have sleeves!

The 21st century contingent is still not present, including Mon-El, Dream Girl, Sensor, Element Lad, Tellus & Starman.

Also Quislet and Tyroc, although mentioned in the interview, aren't around.

Although I may have missed her, 'cause she's a wee lass, I'm not seeing Salu either...

No Sun Boy or Polar Boy, either, come to think of it.

No sign of XS or whomever else stayed behind at the end of Lo3W (Gates?).

Blok, interestingly, is in the picture, although Mysa isn't.

And from the interview, duh, Shadow Lass is the one who should have nine fingers. smile

Which couple didn't make it?

We've seen that Blok and Mysa remain together.
We've seen that Gim and Yera are still married.
We've seen that Mon and Shady are still together (when they rescue him from the zone).
Cos has stated that Garth and Imra are still together (but that he's alone).
Drake and Dawny seem to be more 'together' than they have been in quite some time.

Which leaves, for long time couples, Jo and Tinya, which I don't recall seeing shown as 'together' during the Johnsboot stuff.

(Not counting Brainy and Kara, because today's character is nothing like Brainy's Kara.)

What about the one piece dark blue he wore right before the reboot happened?

All the eye rolls in the world doesn't sum up my opinion of that

I'm pretty damn excited about this! LOSH *and* Adventure! AWESOME!

The 10 fingers comment he made refers to Shady obviously--probably to do with some of the continuity changes that were made.

And not only Levitz/Giffen but Jim Sherman might be coming back too! Wow!!

Failed couple: could be Ayla/Vi, or Ayla/Brin, or Cos/Night Girl.
i like the artist. he's clearly newish and finding his style but i see a lot of potential. also his simple take on faces leaves the age up to interpretation. some artists have drawn the legion too old and grizzled.
i REALLY dislike the costumes.(except Cos's)
i noticed Cosmic Boy has one orb smaller than the other four on his chest. it's repeated in the group shot. wonder what that's about. maybe it's missing... a tribute to Pol?
Levitz didn't mention the Ardeen-Ranzz babies.
he mentions Xs. i realize that the Tornado Twins (Dawn Allen is her mom) are still alive in this Earth and same age as the legionnaires. i hope he touches on this.

Also just want to point out that artwork shown isn't a poster or a cover but appears to be a page from one of the story interiors. So it naturally won't include a lot of Legionnaires.

Somebody's planet is going to be destroyed, huh?

Didn't we lose Orando in threeboot? And Vulcan in the last Star Trek movie?

Apparently, destroying planets is the modern day version of upping the ante.

I'm glad that Levitz is returning to the Legion, and some of his ideas sound intriguing--particularly xenophobia as something human beings never really shake. But in the era of the $3.99 comic book, it's going to take a lot to pull me back in as a reader.

i'm glad he doesn't have an "Image" style and also is not too tight like a lot of artists they put on futuristic books.
