Um, I really am liking that first cover, and Mon-El's costume. No matter what everyone else says.
People who dislike it can always take consolation in the fact that his 31st-Century incarnation might well end up back in the "old" outfit anyway.

^^^ I'm sure he probably will, if Lo3W is anything to go by.
I don't have a problem with them changing Mon-el's costume for his 20th century adventures - in fact I wish they'd changed it more.
My big problem with it is that they all they did was make his fairly unique 'loose' original outfit more generic by tightening it and then added on a little Superman symbol. It seems so uncreative to me.

No Legion???!!! And more Superboy Prime? Bah!
I hadn't really thought about it, but Mon-el's costume could have been changed drastically, different colors as well as form. It's not as if there's an identification problem. But I suppose Superman family members have to keep the Superman look. Maybe Krypto could get a new cape.

And what's with the gray hair? Is it because he's dying?
I hate the blue shorts.
Anyway, I love the dotREBELS cover. I'm so sorry to see that Stealth is dead, I really cared about that character.

Surely the prime story should have been a Blackest Night:Superboy Prime Special so that no-one need buy it?
5 issues in and the Legion is dropped for this!!!!

At least Superboy Prime will never again appear in a Legion book, if Levitz is smart. So, let's all help REBELS this month, because a great book it is and it deserves to continue publication.

Here's a hypothetical - what if the Legion don't replace Kon as the leads in this book? What if the Legion keep their back-up spot and Prime takes his place?
/quickly changing subject while dodging flying vegetables/
Re: R.E.B.E.L.S. - When did Stealth die? I don't remember seeing it anywhere and that's a fairly big death to just occur off-panel.
Kinda crappy too. DC needs to develop their 20th Century space characters - not keep killing them off.
/angrily remembers that shitty Omega Men mini of a few years ago that stupidly killed off 90% of the team OFF-PANEL - including all of the cool new members that Andy Diggle had JUST introduced in his awesome Adam Strange: Planet Heist series/

I owned and read the last dotREBELS issue and I don't remember her dying! I sort of remember Lyrl as a real acting baby and Vril & Stealth discussing taking care of him.
I makes me terribly sad to think that I don't remember, or didn't catch, Stealth's death.
How did she die?

Thanks NC. I guess one thing to remember about Stealth though - hasn't she died before? And isn't one of her powers the ability to come back from the dead? I vaguely remember reading that happening in one of the earlier issues.
