In my defense, keeping track of a 7-year old at his first con was more on my mind. (He had a GREAT time, btw.) But I DID get a good look at the Sun Boy outfit, and I really liked it. It's really the classic design, with a few extras that make it a bit more...robust I guess you could say. The classic costume always looked very flimsy, pixieish I guess, because of the collar and shoulders. Yildiray's version keeps those elements, but toughens them up a bit. I sure hope we see this poster/image out there soon, because it is fantastic! Yildiray's art is so expressive and dynamic, with amazing foreground to background depth of field and contrast. It pleasantly reminded me of the most dynamic aspects of Grell's and Sherman's art.
Did you notice whether any other Legionnaires get new costumes?

Not sure about the new costume for Sun Boy however. Why mess with perfection? I'll reserve judgement til I get a better look though.
Looking at it positively, if the new art team are changing costume designs then we may get rid of some of the Gary Frank abominations. We can but hope.
Not in my opinion. I the Frank designs.
And I want to see this C2E2 poster someone mentioned STAT! There has to be a pic of it floating around the web somewhere. Onward Legion soldiers!

I like the Sun Boy redesign rather a lot from that one image actually! I do agree his original costume is a classic, but it did need something to modernise it a bit....I think this does that without really fundamentally changing it.
I am not WILD about Earth-Man joining, though it might make for some good interactions with Cham and Gates...but it seems a bit of a retread of the Andromeda/White Triangle story, and really I don't know if the Legion can afford to *lose* any NEW villains....
(yeah I know he's been around since like forever, but he is functionally new)

Hmm... was it specified exactly *how* Double-Header was killed?
It occurs to me that if he was ripped in half or something, the two halves might be able to survive independently. Earth Man would've effectively just sped up his reproductive process!

I predict Earthman's induction will be a temporary arrangement, like when those 4 Khunds joined up a while back. Basically just a device for creating dissension in the ranks and increasing drama.

I like it. What happens when the enemy you created by rejection is included?Does he stop being the enemy? Isn't this what he always really wanted? Great questions to raise.

He'll join (or be forced to join more like it) only to meet a dramatic end a few issues later. That way Levitz gets to kill a "Legionnaire" early on, thereby getting that goal out of his system and then moving on after that.

I'd hate to see Earth Man get killed off.. he's a good villain. I just hope he doesn't get get redeemed and join the Legion for good.
There are other worthy candidates that would do great on the team..

Cinars Legion covers are very dynamic. The covers to Legion 2 and 3 are great.

Unlike Blacula, I mostly hate the new/old designs. They're from all of the eras and are very confusing and the ones that are updated are either silly (Garth's diaper), dowdy (Imra's), ridiculously out of place and out of sync with the rest of the outfits (Shady's bathingsuit and Dawny's keyhole.)
Anyway, I can't wait to see what Levitz does. I seriously dislike Earth Man and the whole xenophobic thing, but I'll just have to see it through.
