I heard this is 1 of several variants, featuring a team-member in 50s 60s 70s 80s and 90s outfits??? Is this true or rumour-RAMA?

I *do* like it better than the regular cover.

You got to wonder how bizarre it would be to have a copy of this with Imra in her 90s or 00s costume?

My big problem is that the new LOSH editor Brian Cunningham doesn't know his Legion history -

quote:
“Jim’s schedule is kinda busy, to say the least, but his love of the Legion ultimately prevailed! Jim’s idea for these variants is to spotlight a Legionnaire from a different era. The first cover — Saturn Girl in her 1970s outfit designed by the late, great Dave Cockrum — is sexy as all get-out! I’m not sure who will be on #2’s variant yet — I’m secretly hoping it’s Matter-Eater Lad, but whoever Jim wants to draw is fine by me!”

Everyone knows that costume was designed by K. Haven Metzger of Columbia City, IN!

And while I will enjoy Jim's take on the various eras and Legionnaires...I can't help but think this is another "Gary Frank redesign the Legionnaire costumes to make them unrecognizable" moment. Would a casual reader understand/appreciate why this cover doesn't match the interior? It's almost like DC doesn't want to sell this book to anybody but the members of this forum.

I'm liking it! My only problem...it's hard to tell what her right arm is doing.

With it being a 1:10 variant, I don't think you have to worry about the casual reader picking this up. Only us fans and the speculators.

I like it as an art piece, but it's certainly not in character. I just can't imagine Imra standing around pouting and flipping her hair.

I certainly won't pay a premium for it.

super hot. way better than the hand cover that is equal parts green lantern and legion.

Lee's a bit more cartoony here than before. i liked his more stylized 90s X-men stuff.
