How do Tyrocs "sonic" powers manage to function in outer space, which is airless?
Otherwise, it looks like its going to be a good issue.

I love Brainy's comment about "likable morons." It feels like the first positive vibe we've gotten from him, however backhanded it is.
It's going to be very interesting to see what broke up Mon-el and Shady. They seemed like one of the more stable couples.

That was my first thought too! Oh well, I'm glad to see him back in action anyway. I'm guessing that Paul will be able to do better by him this time 'round.

And Tyroc has a "real" uniform now. About time they updated his '70s look!

Excuse me but can you please direct me to the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles?

Uuuummmmm, I actually kinda hate Tyroc's new look! What's with the Brainiac tribute pattern across the shoulders and down the middle of his torso?? Is he secretly working for him? His new look is hideous, despite the awesome pencil work of Mr. Cinar, and sort of makes him look like one of those old fashioned Manhunters. I just hope Cinar wasn't responsible for this new design. Yuck! But if he was, oh well ... noone's perfect.
Monel on the other hand looks great AND his costume makes him the old retro Monel too. What a bonus this is!

1st panel, Tyroc's bald. 2nd panel, he's got hair, just on the side of his head (or some sort of black wraparound accessory?). 3rd panel, he's bald again?
He got jealous of all those threads about Imra's hair and has gotten his secondary mutation of changing his hairstyle in each panel!
The red costume is okay. The black man has to be bald thing is so 2005 (Luke Cage, Black Lightning, etc.), but I guess it was already called by just about everyone. The shouting in space, whatever, Sun Boy can shoot fire and Lightning Lad can shoot lightning in space, so I'll accept space-sound, too.
Mon and Shady broke up? Meh. My favorite Legion couple, and it already looks like Garth and Imra are being broken up on-panel, instead of having their character development fait acompli'd off-panel. Brin and Ayla mysteriously re-unite, Drake and Dawny throwing around the 'L' word, and Mon and Shady are splitsville? Maybe Shady will hook up with Lydda, 'cause hawt girl-on-girl action is totally kewl, and stuff. :/
Brainy's behavior continues, and it's explicit enough that other Legionnaires (Tyroc in this case) are actually making note of his messed up (and decidedly un-heroic) priorities. Nice to see that his callousness is being noted and remarked-upon by the other heroes.
So nice to have access to the thoughts of the characters in those boxes. Some comics have been experimenting with less and less of that internal information, and I find it makes the characters feel less accessible to me.

Haven't read the preview but have looked at the page with Tyroc on it.
HATE his new look! Boring bald head on a black man which, as Set mentioned, is so overdone and passe in comics. And a costume that Jack Kirby rejected on his way to designing some background Fourth World character. Plus, not keen on the colour scheme. Red is so boring. What was wrong with his signature 'white' look?
And people complain about the Frank designs!? They blow this one out of the water IMO.
I was so looking forward to Tyroc's return but this has bummed me out.
On the plus side, I'm not seeing any silly OOYYEEII or whatever speech bubbles so hopefully that aspect of his power has gone.

I disagree. Tyroc is not making note of Brainy's unusual behavior. In fact, he's indicating that things like that are what he hated about being a Legionnaire--that is, he's acting as though Brainy was always like that.
Also, Tyroc's costume is ridiculous. It looks like Celeste as a Darkstar; bald head and red color scheme with white highlights.

Odds are it may have something to do with Billi Harper and the fact she carried Mon-El's child a thousand years before...

Props to Levitz for hopefully getting rid of that stupid ice arm thing on Polar Boy!
Put me in the camp of not liking Tyroc's costume. While I like that he's being treated as a powerhouse, I'd rather see him with something other than boring old "sonics". I'm going to assume that there's enough residual atmostphere of Titan around to allow his powers to work in space. Or something.
Brainy is slightly less annoying than last issue.
