You know, that has got to be the ugliest picture of Gim I've ever seen. Is he really wearing glasses or is it just a very bad coloring job?

He's really wearing glasses. It's from the Planet Hell story.

Not familiar with that story. Was it in the first 25 or so issues of the previous series? I've never gone back and read those or Legionnaires even though I do have the issues.

Dude, you're kidding me! The first couple of years of the reboot were the best of the entire era!! Go back and read them now! Planet Hell was early in the reboot IIRC, one of the teams first missions.

Spotted another one. Magno's role with the Legion is not "undetermined, if he has one." Dyrk joined the Science Police.

I just wish there was at least a TPB that contained those earlier issues. Maybe I can bring my electronic copies to work and start reading them on my lunch break.

The "Beginning of Tomorrow", as I believe it's called, collects through the Planet Hell storyline, I think.
These really are the best issues of the reboot, and some of the best Legion stories ever published, imo, even if in retrospect they sowed the seeds for many of the major problems that would eventually spell the decline of the reboot.

I just picked up a copy of that about a month or so ago. I'll have to see if that story is included.

Come to think of it, shouldn't that include some of Waid's work?

Yeah, Waid was at least co-plotter on all of those, and he was scripting at least one of the books at the time (maybe both, I don't remember when Peyer came on board).

I tend to think that, if you ook back at some of those stories, you will find themes that are likely to be re-introduced in the new era.
Chief among them, and authoritarian socirty in which the Science Police actually police the use of science.
I would expect the characterizations of many members to fall close to their early reboot counterparts.
Already we see a corrolation between the overly eager to please Colossal Boy and the overly eager to prove himself Leviathan.
