He's also suggested that the Legion may have met individual members of the Five, just not the group as a unit.
Though, given the fact that Tharok's origin is now tied into the events that lead Brainy to join the Legion, their original formation must have occurred while the Legion was active, it's going to be strange if they were actually a major force and yet the Legion didn't encounter them.

Lets hope not as both those stories turned out to be the ends of their particular series.

Let Giffen do layouts, but get Steve Lightle to do the pencil finishes. That's how they worked in the first deluxe format Legion series -- and the characters looked great.
Giffen can do amazing layout work -- but his characters, especially the ladies -- tend not to look very good.

Keith Giffen is definitely an idea man with lots of creative energy, his current art style on the other hand takes away from my enjoyment of anything he might draw, Layouts would be a great help to younger artists on a book with as many characters as the Legion.
It would be great if Steve lightle were willing to work with Keith and Paul on the Legion again and be able to contribute more than just pretty pictures, I still don't know if he could keep up with so many characters on a monthly basis?

LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #17 Written by PAUL LEVITZ Art and cover by KEITH GIFFEN and SCOTT KOBLISH On sale FEBRUARY 20 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US • RATED T • The legendary LEGION team of Paul Levitz and Keith Giffen are reunited and ready to put The Legion through hell as the Fatal Five make their deadly intentions known! • The Legion faces the FATAL FIVE for the first time! Is the team ready to go toe-to-toe with the most destructive force of the 31st century?
Certainly not the most feminine PG's ever looked, and the solicits are again doing the "Fatal Five for the first time!" nonsense, but I'm willing to give it a shot.

OMG Tinya AND Jacques! That looks rather explosive. Can't wait
I just had a thought, wouldn't it be grand if Tinya and Jacques were stranded somewhere and had a *moment* now that would be an interesting love triangle. It certainly would lead to some character development.

quote: Arguably the most popular creative team the 31st century has ever seen, Paul Levitz and Keith Giffen are reuniting once again to tell the tales of DC Comics' teenage heroes from the future. As revealed exclusively to CBR News, Giffen joins Levitz as the regular penciler on "Legion of Super-Heroes" with February's issue #17.
"Working with Keith is as exciting as reading his work," Levitz told CBR News of his and Giffen's reunion. "We'll be back to changing the technology of the future, the lives (and deaths) of Legionnaires, and connecting to wonderfully obscure pieces of DC mythology. Buckle up...it's a wild ride."

Tinya's costume is SO boring IMO. People may say the bell-bottoms are out-dated but at least they give the eye something interesting to settle on. Other than the obligatory boob window, there is nothing about Tinya's costume that elevates it above that of a random background character's in a crowd scene.
Other than that, I don't mind the drawing of her here. People don't tend to look their best when they're jumping in pain/fright. Nice to see Jacques too.

Actually, I'd rather see them develop a friendship without it having any kind of romantic connotation (the long-term couples straining/breaking apart has been done enough lately, imo). It would be a nice throwback to the never-really-developed friendship between Tinya and Lyle. Maybe she could be the "big sis" that gives him advice on approaching Glorith or whomever?

To this non-fan of Giffen, it's some of his best art of the last few decades. I'll take it over his 'everyone has square faces and botox lips' phase any day.
