Playing with the logo for an issue or two I don't have a problem with.
And as long as Supergirl's being back happens in the same way as Blok and Dawnstar's being back, i.e. as part of the "greatest heroes of the multiverse" idea, I don't thing I have a problem with it.
I hope we get a better idea of what the "master plan" is supposed to be before too much longer, though.

Well rest assured it the Legion at the center of the plan...as to whether you'll get an idea of what it is or not.... wouldn't that spoil the surprise?

Well, one thing's for sure. Supergirl and Light Lass are going to have to have a little throw-down, a battle of the bare midriffs.

This has obviously been planned since the get-go... the bare-belly motif is a dead giveaway...

I loved pretty much every Supergirl appearance I ever read in the Legion. In fact, aside from her death in the original "Crisis," the ONLY Supergirl stories I liked were Legion stories. The Great Darkness denouement(sic?) scene between Supergirl and Brainiac 5 is one of my all-time favorites. The Legion always seemed to give Supergirl some gravitas that she lacked until her death in Crisis. Here she was, as powerful a being as you can imagine, but still always in Superman's shadow. Someone whose only family was a super-serious overgrown boyscout. The Legion allowed Kara at least 2 very wonderful things. First, it gave her a chance to be just one of the club, but a member well-respected for role in Super-history. The orphan had a place to feel at home in, a place where she could be "just one of the gals." Second, she could pal around with her surrogate father when he was a boy. Who hasn't daydreamed of knowing her parents when they were younger, cooler and more fun? I sure hope Supergirl's new appearances with the Legion are as fun. I have to admit that I am not sure I "get" the new Supergirl. Maybe her appearances with the Legion will change that.

To be honest, this makes a great deal of sense to me and has right from the inro of the new Supergirl. She needs a place to learn how to be a hero and be away from Superman's blatant supervision (no joke intended...okay, maybe a little one )
What better place for her than in the Legion, where she can be with others like her and they can all do some growing up together.
Of course, I still hope that she is only one of many new faces we will be seeing as members shortly. The cover with Blok and Dawny gives me great hope that we will see the rest of my favs in short order.
Barry, how long do I have to hold my breath?

Hopefully Barry has reassured those of you completely freaking out... .
At this point, anything that might get some new readers is okay with me, short of Batman and the LSH. I want new readers! New minds to warp here at LegionWorld. Brains! BRRRAAAAIIINNNNSSS!
But seriously, how many people bought LSH just because of Superboy being in the title? Every little bit helps.

Barry's calmed me down. I guess. But what's the fun of reading those kind of teases if we can't run off the handle with crazy speculations, portents of doom and pulling out of hair?

Taking a big "wait and see" attitude to all of this. Not sure what to make of it all, so I'm just going to try and ride it out and see where it goes...

So by the preview, does Barry mean the survival of Shikari? Something from the short preview featuring Invisible Kid or some other preview? Anyway, the current team hasn't led us down the wrong path yet, and I have faith that Supergirl and the Legion won't either.

Portfolio Boy may think he's joking but I think he makes a lot of sense. I've been wondering for a while if this Legion wasn't in standard DC continuity. Check out the caption of the start of the final Brainy-and-Theena scene in #11 and compare it to the caption at the start of the backup story... something weird going on here.
