What to expect: lots of wild new EDE theories on obscure points of continuity from 50 years ago, one panel background characters suddenly becoming major superstars on Legion World, and plenty of use of the word "space"!

I miss that wacky helmet Cos used to wear ... I think some of these simple and unexplained and completely impractical at first glance accoutrements can seem even more futuristic than an explanation or accessible tech. Like those crazy resurrection lightning rods ... some future tech should just seem like magic ... as if we are neanderthals looking at cell phones after being defrosted in the Arctic.
