I like the cover and can't wait to see how it happens.
Off topic here....but the solicts for Birds of Prey, Supergirl, Robin and Teen Titans all had blacked out characters. That gives me a collective WTF man. Can't wait to see all that happens from OYL. ...Back to topic...
Can't wait to see the new logo too.

Note the fact that the solicitation was listed between JSA and Outsiders (in other words, as beginning with "L", not "S"), and not with the Super-titles. This seems to indicate the title change is only temporary.

Also note how good this Supergirl looks when drawn by an artist.
My guesses: Top Row - Sun Boy, Star Boy, Timber Wolf, Phantom Girl, Next Row - Shadow Lass, Colossal Boy, Saturn Girl, Element Lad, Next Row - Brainiac 5, Cosmic Boy, Dream Girl, Shrinking Violet, Bottom Row - Triplicate Girl, Lighting Lad, Karate Kid or Ultra Boy (meaning one isn't shown ), & Chameleon. Also among those you can't tell, I assume Light Lass, Invisible Kid, & Princess Projectra.
It appears by the cover that none of the time-lost Legionniares make it past #15.

Yes it is exciting. Yes she looks great. While I've read the first few issues of her series...I didn't care for it. But I loved her in the last JLA.
The costume is cool but the yellow trim on the cape is a bit Marvel family for me...for some reason.
Now the bitter old man and cautious Legion fan. DC is crazy. I think it's totally not needed. The Legion does need a boost in sales. I'm an all or nothing guy at this point. Guys like Waid, Geoff, etc are very careful around continuity but it's things they never expect that totally screw things up.
Now where are Tyroc, Blok, and Dawnstar. That cover had more buzz than this one. I hope that tells DC something.

I believe the costume is a hint. This is the costume (based on the trim on the cape and costume) of the current Supergirl. Does she become time-tossed because of the Crisis?

Don't read to much into the relative posting volume Jorge. I think there appeared to be more buzz only because people that post to Legion Boards are generally Legion fans from the old days.
A prominent Supergirl cover won't generate the same number of posts other than from the usual "Waid's off his rocker" crew because most Supergirl fans don't want to have anything to do with us. It's safe to say that Supergirl has a much broader appeal and is much more recognizable than Legion.
So the one-two punch of the two upcoming issues (pre-boot cover and now SG) could introduce (or reintroduce) people that haven't bought the new series to LSH.
1) Recapture the wayward former customer 2) Expand the base

1001 years later? Does that mean a 1-year gap from last issue? Did I know that already?
Maybe that hand it Phantom Girl's? Danwstar's? Dream Girl's? *hope*
Barry, have you no mercy? Other people have to draw Supergirl too, you know.

Presumably, this Legion has always been 1001 years ahead of the rest of the DCU, since it has always been set in the post-IC world.
