LOL, I have about 10 of these #0 issues so far and I didn't notice there was a Who's Who page in any of them.

Art was decent, but it did have a nice 'retro' feel to it which was appropriate. It fit with the recent LSH mini-series.
I loved seeing the teamwork and friendship of Garth and Rokk, and the enthusiasm of Tinya. She reflect the heart of early Legion, and I hope we see this in stories taking place in the 'current' 31st century.

So I've just read Legion of Super-Heroes #0.
I like that Phantom Girl, pre-Flight Rings, was the first flying Legionnaire (along with Ultra Boy, later).
Aw, Garth gets blown off his speeder bike, and spends a panel hanging from Rokk's ass. How companionable of them. And then they share a single skybike, with Garth in the bitchseat, to the surprise of no one.
Interesting Colu detail on the page opposite the full page ad for Stephen Amell's abdominal muscles (page 15?) about the Coluans attempting to make a stand with tools for gardening and building, as they apparently have no police, security forces or deliberate weapons on their entire planet... Neat. A race so advanced and orderly by nature that the notion of security forces (or even defensive weaponry) is almost irrelevant to them.
I wonder if we'll see this Coluan child again?
Gosh, I hope her name isn't Sharn Nux...

I've got to admit, the #0 issue made me realize I wouldn't have been totally against the idea of Levitz handling a Legion reboot. I'm not super enthused about the current series at the minute but found myself really enjoying the Garth/Cos team-up and the cheerful Phantom Girl previously visited in the Origins mini. It'd also save the trouble we always seem to have with continuity headaches anymore.
It's not like much of the later team would have to be missed from a reboot, like the cast of Legion Lost. It's time travel after all and it'd be fun to see the Lost team come across a more youthful Legion pre-their membership.
Seeing the bio page list their first appearance as last year did sting a little, but I get why that is. DCNu and all that!

I wasn't all that enthused by the Secret Origins series, but this issue did kind of make me wish that we were getting to see this take on the teen Legion every month instead of the much less fun "Adult Legion". It's actually a bit hard for me to connect them as being the same team in a way.
The Coluan child definitely seemed like a setup for something in the future. Let's hope it doesn't take too long to get to it.

I guess I'm one of the few that seems to be enjoy the current run of the Legion. And I shudder at the mention of the word 'reboot.' Have any of them worked?
However, maybe an annual flashback issue of the Legion's early days (an annual?) might satisfy many fans.

I haven't been happy with the reboot as much as anyone else but I've always been glad that the Legion has skidded by relatively clean enough, compared to a lot of other books. And that currently the book looks as if most hasn't changed.

The current run has serious flaws in it. Yet at the same time, a real reboot would be a disaster. Sometimes it seems that you can't win.

Wonder if the baby girl the Legion rescued will ultimately return as Colu's official governmentally mandated mother of Brainiac Six--it would be interesting to see Brainy's reaction. Oh yeah, with this tale, Tharok has just topped the suspect list of who is controlling Comet Queen...

Hm, rather lukewarm issue. Guess any character would have been more interesting than another Brainiac spotlight. Great artwork though. Still this read like another issue of those ill-advised recent Adventure Comics and Secret Origins runs - change for changes sake, making any feeling of continuity impossible.
I wouldn't mind if the new stories were any good - but they aren't...

Nice art but overall a so-so issue. And the Who's Who page confirms that the Nottaboot is a reboot after all. First appearance LSH # 1 (2011)... well, that couldn't be any plainer.
So I will now refer to this as the Post-52 reboot LSH. (Post-52 for short)

Anyone have any details from the Levitz NYCC panel appearance? I just saw one quote online about the Fatal Five causing technology to fail??
