Here we go.... 1.Stone Boy for sure. I always meantfor Blok to be his own charcter. Thought it would be cool if this Stone Boy had some kind of power over earth matter. 2. For this alien I had no idea. Maybe he or she is a thinker. 3.Kent Shakespeare of course. Maybe give him his hero name Impulse. At least I think that was his name in the 5 year gap. It's been awhile. I think he was just going to be really tough. For old time's ske he would be real tight with Ultra Boy. I think he may have had a journalism background as well. Gotta take advantge of that Clark Kent resemblance. The fox would definetly work as a female. Good suggestion. Get us a team up with Timber Wolf.
I want everyone to keep in mind that there was very little time to create these characters. It would have been nice if they had all been mapped out in advance. I tried to get a few classics in there for the fans but the book had to get done. I'm glad that they were received well in spite of the rush. Thanks a lot Kid Prime. Coipel left some big shoes to fill

I loved your Micro Legion gallery Ultra Jorge! Any chance you'll put in Princess Projectra's Cockrum outfit?

Welcome aboard Chris. As you can see we just love it when a Legion creator interacts and generally try not to be too fanboyish (for anybody but Mark Waid...he's such an easy target ).
I hope you're comfortable here and get lots and lots of hours of enjoyment out of our slavish devotion to all things Legion.
(lots of cool art threads and fanfic too if you want to blow a little free time surfing around)

Steve Wacker is one of the few good guys in the biz. I have had some awful experiences with two faced,egotistical editors. Steve was the exception. Loyal, understanding, passionate about the characters, and most importantly very fair. He always looked out for me in ways no one in comics ever had. I'm not sure I would have my contract at DC without his support. 52 would never be so far along without him and will continue to do so from the system he implemented. At the end of the day, this is still a business. Steve has two beautiful kids and had to make a decision that was best for him. I will miss him when I drop work off at the office. He's gonna do great things at Marvel and I'm sure we will work again someday.

Speaking of "52", I have a Question question:
Why in the name of all that is good and holy, do you guys not put Vic in his fedora? (except covers and the bio page) I miss that classic look.

That's a very good question Drake. Unfortunately I don't have an answer. I never got a chance to draw the Question myself but he should definetly have that fedora. I did just finish up a particularly brutal issue starring Captain Comet. Very brutal stuff in this issue and I hope you guys enjoy it. The writers really deliver on this one. I think Grant gets most of the credit though.

Here goes Mystery Lad 1. This one never had a backstory. Just filler unfortunately. 2. Never had a name but was definetly going to be aquatic based. Got that shark/dolphin hybrid look. 3. May have been a valley girl Negative Man. Similar powers without the drawback of leaving your helpless body behind. As far as 52 is concerned, keep in mind Captain Comet's new book.

That is indeed the Cockrum Projectra I was referring to. I love the cadet page. They kick ass. Very nice work Jorge. BTW...I was reading the Infinite Crisis hardcover and there was an interview in the back with the creative team. Geoff John's original idea (instead of the Titans dog pile on Superboy Prime) was to have Kon El show up with an all star roster of the Legion from every era. The idea was nixed because the Legion was off limits. I would have loved that idea. Imagine pre crisis Mon-El being a part of that team. I guess it would have ended the series right there because that version of Mon-El was even tougher than Superboy Prime. Oh well.....I can dream.

I think I may have just pee'd a little.

I knew you guys would have to get around to this sooner or later, given that Mystery in Space was advertised as spinning out of 52. At least now I know it'll look good.
Click Here For A SpoilerI hope Comet goes out like a soldier. MiS wasn't too clear on this part, possibly because Jim Starlin didn't have the details.
