The only one I could do without is Hawkgirl. There's just a lot of other female characters who would have been a better choice, IMHO.
Glad to see Dinah in--I just hope that doesn't mean she has to leave BoP. She's the main reason I buy that book, and if the Big 3 and GL can be in the JLA and their own books, why can't Dinah be in two books?
I've never been much of a fan of archer superheroes, but Roy has lots of history with the DCU, so I'm not too bummed about him being in. Think it's great to see Red Tornado back in action, and it's REALLY great to see Black Lightning's new look. I think it'll be really interesting to see him interact with some of the other guys.
I am just now sure about the female character lineup. I know they each have their own powers, but all four of them are primarily "fighters"...I would have rather seen Zatanna or Starfire.
All in all, a good line up. But I will agree that cover is HIDEOUS. I totally don't get the Michael Turner love.

Okay I have to say something nice before I say something Critical.
What the? BLACK LIGHTNING!?!?! Finally. Respect. And... Vixen? WHAT WHAT WHAT?!?! Dinah Made the cut! Brilliant! Kendra. Fancy.
Okay Im going to say something critical.
Mike Turner draws aweful covers. All the Time. Icky. Hal "Whitebread" Jordan. Well thats neither good nor bad. But then I'm a Kyle Rayner fella myself. Roy. Hmmm. This can go either way, but I am willing to love it.

Love Black Lightning, hope they do the character justice (pardon the pun). Canary, Tornado, Hawkgirl, yes, hello!!! Roy should prove interesting, a source of friction, maybe. Hal was a mediocre choice. Kyle, or better yet John, would have been more fun, IMHO. Vixen? Never cared for her and don't really see her appeal. (Maybe someone could explain it to me slowly. I catch on quicker that way.) This grouping is so well-rounded and thought out that the omission of some of my favs seems trivial now. Can wait to see what in store for Reddy and the rest!

The revised Ed Benes covers are available over at the Comic Bloc forums. There are a number of changes to the original drawing that we saw way back when.

Looks like the book is no longer on the Legion AR list. Not if those are the published versions of the cover.

Those covers make up my dream line-up (sort of). Too bad they don't use a Justice League Unlimited approach to the series.
The only ones I want to add are Plastic Man, Aquaman (Arthur Curry), Atom (Ray Palmer), Blue Beetle (Ted Kord), Phantom Lady (Sandra Knight), & Nightshade. Yeah, I know some are dead or whatever, but I would have put them in.

Please note the removal of Booster from that lineup......
!@#$!@#%#!@#%!@#%!@%
Seriously though, it's an interesting lineup but the two people I have beefs with are Kendra and Dinah, mainly because I enjoy the team books they are currently in.
And I hope Roy doesn't take the name I suspect he will....sounds lame to me.

I don't think there's anything they can do at this point that will satisfy Tony Isabella, who has already expressed dissatisfaction with the character's look.

For all the Legion AR completest, there is a mention of a Legion flight ring in this issue when the Big 3 are discussing Red Tornado.

Read through it last night and I enjoyed it. I don't think this is going to end well for Reddy but it's a strong start, IMO.
The only thing that bugged was something that bugged me when this was previewed. The big three don't want anyone else involved putting back the JLA because they broke it. Guys, that arrogant attitude is what broke it....

Interesting that Power Girl isn't in the image that was posted. And it didn't seem like they were going to vote in Vixen. Maybe the Big3 don't exactly get their way when things shake out?

RE: Animal Man, we know from Teen Titans that the space heroes haven't made it back yet, OYL, so it seems like there's still hope for him.
