While I completely agree that Levitz' return to LSH has been lackluster at best, I am more than willing to be excited about his remaining *IF* the rumors of Giffen's return are true (and my sources told me they ARE true)...
Also acceptible: An artist or co-writer on the level of a Phil Jiminez (whose work with Levitz on the Academy stories was ALL too brief and have been the best part of Levitz' return-- with the most recent issue being a distant second place).
I think Glorith's presence also tells us more of the Pre-Crisis/Pre-Zero Hour universe has been rewritten than we know. I mean, otherwise, Glorith is kind of like someone showing up and saying, "Hi, my name's Mordru, can I join the team? "
Unless, of course, "Glorith" is the 31st century equivalent of Tiffany, or Madison.

Re Glorith, a big part of the "fun" is that we're kept guessing as to whether this IS the same Glorith or not. I wonder if Levitz has it all plotted out already, or if he's waiting and seeing where this will go?

Much like Lori Morning!
Seriously, her background's being kept mysterious... wasn't there even some line about how even she couldn't remember her childhood? Plus, Brainy is finding her powers potentially useful in rejiggering time travel...
It seems to me the clues point to her desplorping origins!
Of course, there is the question is why none of the Legionnaires is saying, "Hey! Wasn't Glorith the name of that chick who turned a bunch of us into toddlers awhile back?" And I suppose you could go with the Legionnaires either assuming the name was a coincidence (Perhaps it's a common name) or some magical interference to help her get a fresh start.

Ahhhhh...."post-splorping" and "desplorping"! You are a treasure Mr. Ester!
If there is any justice, these permutations of the classic "splorp" sound effect will be canonized in LSH lore at some point. Even more telling is how none of the subsequent posters to this thread have questioned these references!

I wonder what's going to happen to Francis Portela? He's been the break-out star of this book IMO. DC have to be thinking of a bigger 'name' title for him.

Or perhaps for Glorith, this is pre-splorp?

It will be interesting to see Kollins on the Legion now. His style has continued to change over the years.

Kollins is the type of artist where the inker can make all the difference. I guess I'll wait and see--not exactly thrilling news but not horrible news either.

I think the good thing Kolins will bring is a style unlike other Legion artists have brought to the table, so it won't remind you much of this one or that one. And most of what I've seen of Kolins' stuff the past coupla years has been pretty darn good. Don't think he's ever done much work on team books either, so that could be interesting to see.

Maybe he'll get to draw another Bizarro Legion tale!
