That's a cool picture.

Thom and Nura holding hands, aw. Lydda behind man-kini Rokk. Brainy and Kara also flying near each other.

Colossal Boy isn't often shown flying in an enlarged form. That's an interesting choice.

Neat that some gone-but-not-forgotten Legionnaires like Chemical King and Ferro Lad made an appearance as well.

Is that Invisible Lyle to the west of Dream Girl's bosums?

That cover is beautiful! It's great to get some Alex Ross Legion art again. I really like how youthful yet adult everyone looks - a good representation of the era.

That cover is amazing and right up there with the original work from Grell. Not a fan of Ross's coloring choices here though. Would love to see a high res wallpaper of this cover down the road.

Question - was there a time in history when Ultra Boy's logo was officially yellow?

I have been seeing it done like that so often lately, and by so many different colorists too, that I'm starting to wonder if it's not just a mis-coloring and is actually representative of an era I'm forgetting.
