Well, that's the first LSH solicitation that's kind of interested me!

Looks like it's Garth and Imra month. <yawn> At least it's not Querl.
Nice covers though. And good to see Paul addressing the mystery of the Ranzz-Ardeen children so quickly. I wonder if the Validus origin is still intact?
Levitz isn't exciting me with his guest stars in the main Legion book so far though. Green Lanterns and New Gods? Not characters I have ever liked in the Legion-verse. Please leave the 21st Century characters behind Paul! Start developing the uniquely 31st Century concepts more!

Someone more dangerous than Darkseid? Looking forward to this series more than I have in a long time.

ADV #517: It looks like Paul is retroactively inserting the founders' love triangle from the reboot into this continuity... or at least Garth's jealousy over Rokk & Imra's friendship.
LSH #4: Another dynamic cover by Yildiray!! Someone commented recently that Imra's costume makes her look dowdy. I have to disagree. I think it looks great and fits her personality.

All three look pretty awesome to me! I'm glad Paul is addressing Garth & Imra's children immediately so we know where we stand.
Blacula & co--you've got to give Paul a year to rope in new readers to the Legion, using 21st century characters to do so. There is a strategy at work here. (But sure, I get your annoyance with it).
The Superman/Batman solicit actually looks pretty cool too (and for this title, they almost never do).
Imra looks really cute on the Adventure cover!

quote:Originally posted by Outdoor Miner: Looks like Superboy (Conner) is becoming the co-feature in Action this August, following which he will be getting his own series.
Me, I'm only interested if Krypto is front and center.
I believe Conner is only in one issue and then his new title launches.

The best Cinar cover to date. Looks really powerful and energetic. Don't mess with parents whose children have been taken away - they will crush you. I really, really like that, guess it sounds like a much more interesting story than the gazillionth "All existence is on the brink of being wiped out" stories popping up everywhere in comicdom... Mister Levitz, I really am getting excited about thsi new series!

That is a great cover. I'm glad Ayla is featured instead of Rokk for a change. I like her new costume, but why doesn't she get an emblem? That large white panel is screaming for one, but we only see the lightning bolts subtly worked into the trim on her costume, whereas Garths' are blasting across his chest. Seems kinda sexist.
I think a lot of these new costumes, including Garth's and Imra's, are entirely too busy. It must be exhausting to draw all these extraneous details over and over on every character.
I hope the interior art is as good as the cover. Looking forward to Paul's new run. I hope he doesn't disappoint us.
