I hope they aren't going down the Brainy/Dreamy route again. It was awful the first time. I like Nura and Thom and it annoyed me that the threeboot dropped Nura's interest in Thom entirely after Waid left.

The LOST in white, at least the humanoid Legionnaires, look pretty amazing against the Titans in black.
Why does Dream Girl have to be spread-eagle with pointy things on her legs? That's so degrading, imo.
Thanks for pointing out that the Titans are in black and the Legion in white. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with my eyes because they couldn't seem to focus properly.
I agree with you about the cover. I am being quite serious when I say that we at Legion World should do everything in our power to have DC pull the cover. Lightle is an intellegent, talented artist who seems to respect us here. If he offers an alternative cover DC might change it. We need to keep talking about this.

My guess is Cosmic Boy is leaving.
Or Paul finally gets rid of Mon-el after we forced him back in last time.

Mon-El was my first thought as well, but Cos leaving after the "Founder's Night" story makes a lot of sense as well.

The more info I get on the Culling, the less I want to read it. I suppose I'll have to get the LL issue, though, just to void having a gap in my collection.
I think the departing member is Mon-El. I haven't heard anything about the Founder's Night story other than speculation over who's dancing with who, though, so maybe there's some inside info I'm not privy to.
Finally, you can add my voice to the chorus objecting to the Legion cover. Talk about a desperate attempt to generate sales!

Maybe on Founder's Night, the fallout from Imra mindwiping Rokk (which has been hinted to have some long-term effects, such as being responsible for his inability to have a healthy long-term relationship) will finally happen.
Gosh, put Dreamy in a manly action pose, rescuing a helpless dude-in-distress, and her 'classic' outfit looks a bit awkward. Has the time finally come for a Barry Kitson-esque redesign for Dreamy, complete with pants?

Somehow I can't help but think if it were a male character striking that manly action pose the tentacle would be, shall we say, less strategically placed.

Superman's certainly not immune to having a giant fuzzy pink tentacle shooting out of his butt and heading for his crotch.
The only solution appears to be to walk around all prim and proper, with one's legs pressed tightly together, as those tentacles seem to go right for the naughty bits!

Well, I don't think that the Action cover is nearly as explicit as the Legion cover is. Even if the metal tentacles weren't in that drawing, her pose is still really pornish. ugh But, comics want to be elivated in stature.
And there's nothing wrong with a little decorum. One doesn't have to be prim and proper all of the time, but one doesn't need to be in a brown paper covering all of the time, either.

anyone feels that the tentacles may belong to Quislet as he may be the one who got abducted by Dominators as well? and then Dominators experimenting on Quislet? after all, they travel through dimensions. ?
