I know it is a bit of strange request, but a lot of people online seem angry that Supersons was cancelled. They claim Bendis earlier said Jon and Damien would be reunited again (I do not know the source of this, majority of stuff I read is pure anon Twitter speculation). To me it feels like having them together in the future would be a good compromise.

I never read the book, but they do have a nice contrasting dynamic from the panels I have seen (I feel there is a Japanese word for this, like the idealist vs the realist?). I guess you could try to replicate it with someone like Timber Wolf or Blok.

The Bat-office certainly doesn’t seem to have much interest in the character. Has he been even semi-regular in any batbook since Rebirth? Super-Sons and Titans seems to be his only home these days.

Once the new Legion title is established I could easily see Bendis doing a one time Jon and Damien in the future storyline - either a crossover with the Teen Titans or some kind of other possbility (one-shot, mini, etc) that doesn't interfere with the storyline of the main Legion title.

I would like a one-time thing! Would be interesting to see how the Legionnaires react to non-powered Damien. I know it's been done before with Batman joining the Legion, but Damien brings his own attitude to the mix.

No, no , no... Damien is the worst Robin in the Batman story... The Legion is The Legion , not a little Justice League...

^^Agreed, Colossal Boy a one-time appearance would be noble gesture at the very least. Newsrama commented that if Jon is 17 it is kind of like sending him to college. It would be reasonable to lose contact with your friends at home (happened to me).

It make me wonder what personalities that Legionnaires will have in this incarnation. Even if they are not legacy characters, there have been both major and minor differences in personality between the various reboots.

Maybe Bendis is psyching us all and the Legion actually wants to recruit Krypto?

On the last page last, the Legion turn off their holographic projectors to reveal that they are really the Space Canine Patrol Agency!

Shades of paid trolls.

Which I see all the time on Facebook, hence why I never read the comments on Philippine (or USA) news items anymore...

I always wondered why Gim had the eagle!

As far as the Supersons go, there is no reason Lois can't simply give birth to another 10-year old.

Yeah, somehow Gim ended up with a costume originally designed for Ultra Boy, and Element Lad got Gim's costume (which is why Jan went through the 70s with an up-arrow on his chest!)

I didn't know that, either! OK, can you tell me what was up with that weird design on Violet's chest (from the same period)?

Nope. And why she has a "Ho" with an arrow pointing towards her crotch is completely beyond me.

Ultra Boy looks very well in this cover, but the purple teletubbie Phantom Girls is still horrible.

Purple girl is definitely Tinya now.

Chuck, Gim, Tasmia, Mon and Wildfire are easily the most recognizable to me.

I'm pleasantly surprised at how much I like the look of this version of Dreamy.

She looks more fuchsia on this cover. I think we are going to have a Sinestro situation, in which her skin color fluctuates depending on the colorist. It is not a big deal because she is an alien, but I hope DC becomes consistent with the skin tones of the human characters.

I wonder if the Bgtzlians will all be pink/purple in this version or if Tinya is a hybrid. There are at least two prominent Green Lantern species (Ungarians and Korugarians) with fuchsia skin tones and my research might reveal more. I am currently working on an Index/Glossary so fans have an easy reference during this reboot.

Heh. Expecting consistency across the DC line. Good joke.

Not just Linya. When she went home way back in issue 4 we saw a huge number of the local population and every single one was in normal earth skin tones, not a purple look among them.
