Wow, I hope that was a coloring error. The whole point of the costume was to hide. The tiara is doubly ridiculous. The whole cover looks like something of a rush job.
Like others have said, though, costume aside, it sounds like a good read. Hopefully, I'll have enough money next summer to pick up this big crossover Superman event. (Actually I really hope it is just a lead-up, and the Legion is out by the time the event starts, even if I can afford it. I hate "events.")

Strange miscoloring going on with Brainiac's sleeves as well, it seems. Or he's wearing a purple jumpsuit with grey sleeves and a black coat.
Why don't we just rip the sleeves off of all the male characters and make sure that every female character has a boob window? That seems to be the trend.
Brainy probably wasn't miscolored, he'd ripped off his sleeves to join the new sleeveless look, but then was embarassed by his puny biceps (compared to Garth and Brin) and quickly threw something over them...

LOL, Jeckie probably just forgot the concealing part of her costume in the 31st century
I have to say that I'm pleased to hear that the Legion is about to be "reborn" - again - in a major storyline including Supes and Kara (which means publicity).
This probably will be leading to Levitz' own Legion book, tying up danglers like Bedard did for Shooter after Waid left the Threeboot. As there has not been that much story been told (ten pages per issue!), it should not be too difficult to streamline the Retroboot for the next decade.

I think I'm one of the few who never liked Jeckie's Sensor Girl outfit (it's a striking costume - just not right for Jeckie IMO) but that update is hideous!
I would much rather see her in the original Sensor Girl outfit - or better yet, an updated version of her pink and blue Adventure-era costume - than that mess.

Oh, hooray. I was just thinking the other day that comics don't have enough boobs sticking out everywhere! Thanks, DC!

Jeckie is one character who CAN'T have a costume too outrageous. Dave Cockrum's design pretty much saw to that, and this is clearly an homage to that ...uh...seminal design. I do hope that the sleeves are miscolored, though. Clearly she plans on becoming a Luchador, and more power to her.
What would be a bigger Superman event than "Brainiac & The Legion," though? Must be that New Krypton War or something. Kinda sick of war, for my part.
The most significant part of the cover for me is that Wildfire isn't right next to Dawnstar.
It's worth reflecting how amazing it is to have Legion characters so prominently featured in the Superman books. I'm really enjoying Mon-El in "Superman." I am excited to see where his story goes. I know he had his own book and all in the 1990s, but that feels like another life. This approach has more potential to fit into a cohesive Superman/Legion mythos.

I also do not like Sensor Girl's new costume. But, at least it distracts from Element Lad's poor choices. Wide bands at the elbow and hipboots? Costume update fail.
I'm guessing the title to be named later is a new Superboy title.
I'm looking forward to the story, though. I wonder if the Legion has to help Brainiac or some twist like that.

It's so weird - I was just posting on another thread that I've been getting on board with the whole idea of reducing the sexual objectification of female comic book characters, and then here come Jeckie's boobs!
This is especially disturbing/disappointing/distracting because Jecky went from the extremely revealing Cockrum costume to the rather conservative Sensor Girl costume. Now it seems she's stepped back into sexy girl mode again. (Hmmm... evidently I've forgotten/ignored 3boot Jecky.)

What is so wrong about Jeckie's costume is that last time we saw her she was looking at a photo of her late husband and crying. A woman in mourning does not dress like that

I thought Levitz was taking over this series. Does anyone know if he is, and if so, with which issue will his stories start?
