I hate quasi organizations. Just simplify the idea and give it a face! A villain! Though I do like the cult of Validus. As long as it has a face,a powerful front figure...like Validus.
The artist did mention he will stay on as long as the writer does. Which makes it seem it is a big name writer.

I like Light Lass's new look. She looked good with short hair, but looks better with long hair (then again, I think almost everybody looks better with long hair.)
Otherwise, the art reminds me too much of the Guys Who Ruined the X-Men and then Founded Image.

I like Ayla's new look, too, actually. Kind of nice to see a female character getting a more modest outfit instead of a less modest one for a change.

I love it, as well. Shaggy hair, but no claws. That's as it should be. And the costume is really cool, too. The bare feet are interesting, although I'm not sure why it's necessary. Maybe so he can use is super agility to climb better or something.

Haha maybe Ayla and Tinya traded love lives. Ie Ayla found someone and took herself off the market but Tinya's finally testing the waters.

I have to say I like some of the new looks but not all.
Colossal Boy/Micro Lad reminds me of a cardasian from Star Trek with the brown pack on the sides of his neck.
Shadow Lass in brown is terrible.
Invisible Kid needs the headband.
Phantom Girl...I'm gonna have to wait and see what her legs look like. If she still has the bell bottoms...I'll be in love!
Trip looks alike to me now. No color difference when she splits looks odd to me now.
Love Brainy new outfit. Makes him look more dictator like.
Cham's chain mail reminds me of his 1st costume back in the 60's. Love it.
The only one that really grats my nerves is Saturn Girl's thou. It reminds me TOO much of Binary's costume. If the red were pink it would look better to me I think.
The rest I'll have to wait and see.

It's for his retractable Adamantium toenails...
Personally, I'm growing more and more disappointed this series didn't wrap up with Mark & Barry.

Alright, I want to join in the character-by-character analysis...
1. First of all, I like that Gim looks like our traditional Gim, with the headgear. I don't care for the wierd brown stripey thing.
2.Star Boy and Sun Boy seem to look the same as the beginning of this era, which to me is a perfect reason to leave them in the background. I have no complaints, there.
3. I love Ayla with the flippy hair! The costume is fine. Goes right along with any of her others.
4. I like Wild Brin. I count 5 toes on each foot. His orange-y tan looks a bit sprayed on, but we'll see how that works out in the book.
5. I like Vi in black and violet.
6. I like Lu not color coded. Better for espionage. I like her short hair.
7. Element Lad seems to only have changes for the sake of changes.
8. Lyle looks awesome in white! He doesn't need a headband.
9. Whoo!!! Tiny looks HOT!!! Brown eyes... is that new?
10. I approve of Jo's look. I've always believed that since he can only use one power at a time, he would develop himself to be as powerful as he can.
11. It takes some getting used to, Garth with no white at all, but I do like the otherwise classic look.
12. LOVE Imra with super long hair!! The costume is fine, IMO.
13-15. Jecky, Cham and KK all get a "fine by me" from me. Don't dislike what I can see, not in love with what I can see.
16. I like Shady in earth-tones. It's really different than normal for her. Of course I prefer that gorgeous blue skin in black, but I'll give this a thumb's up for now.
17. Love seeing Brainy's old belt! Great. That symbol on his chest seems to just glare there, so I don't really care for it, but he looks good with his hair filled out a bit.

Jim? As in James? Robinson would write a helluva book.

As for the new looking Legion... it's a nice spread there. Sure, there's a certain X-Men feel, circa 1997. It also reminds me of Copiel, and that is never a bad thing.
I like Brainy and Ayla. KK & Saturn Girl don't really work for me. The brutish look for Jo took a moment, and Brin too. Tinya is still the hottest lady. I like the lack of white, especially in Garth's uniform. They look less spandex like to me. Garth is certainly the best looking.
Don't kill me, but Lyle's costume doesn't look good. Barry had him right with the blue jacket. He's the only one with a letter on his chest! Not liking it, but overall I'm diggin the energetic feel of this picture.

I just like the fact that they don't all look like spandex superhero costumes. With a few exceptions, the outfits actually look like something wearable. I'm excited to have a new artist/writer for the anniversary year. I have to admit I'm a little disappointed that after all of the Legion teasers/guest appearances we've been getting, it's still the threeboot Legion. I thought/hoped that between the Lightning Saga and Countdown we might see something different.

There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.

Colossal Boy / Micro Lad looks *far* too much like something Liefield would draw. I bet those brown things are pouches...

I think he wore it in the Titans/Legion Special just before the relaunch. Since then he really hasn't had a consistent look.
