There are a couple cute details in the artwork, but overall this preview is boring and trite, and fails to make me want to buy the issue.

I've said it elsewhere, but the rendering of Garth's costume makes it look like he's wearing a giant diaper (or nappy, for those across the pond).

I like the artwork. The futuristic Metropolis looks great, too.

I agree about Garth's diaper. It looks pretty bad. So does Imra's hair. She looks manly.

And if we are only gong to get eight pages of story every month, do we need a big giant splash page that tells us next to nothing?

Okay, I'm saying this about Saturn Girl. Her hair should either by short like this or long. I hated those flip bangs she had in the 1980s when Giffen was writing.

looks good to me!
Garth and Imra don't act married though.
glad the Mekt revelation is something sneaky like a trap.
Cockrum's Lightning Lad costume is far superior (Black Lightning even ripped it off). (re: diaper comment- even L.L.'s Forte costume looked like diapers, so it has a long tradition! lol.)
let's get this story moving now.

I love seeing Legionnaires casually waving in flight coming and going to HQ. It is so brilliant and obvious! Is this the first time we've seen this?

I looks like the various artists are trying to gradually wittle away at the worst features of these unfortunate uniforms. I have to admit, it's getting better. Imra's hair reminds me of when it was burned and hanging out in clumps after the Time Trapper battle.

Is Cos Leader now, or is the Legion being run by committee?

On page 2 (the splash), I don't know how close Imra is standing to Rokk, but her hand is in an interesting place.

Who's the guy being waved to by Dawny and Drake?

I think, sorry, that the costumes just get worse and worse.

And usually there's some tradition about being married, rings or necklaces or something.
Imra and Garth don't seem to have anything to indicate their marriage.

I don't know how the rest of you feel, but something to do with Mekt was about the last thing on my list of Legion Adventure stories I wanted to see.
I'm pretty sick of Mekt.

I believe that's Colossal Boy. Of course, it could be Yera.

I hadn't noticed the hand placement, but I have noticed all through the Lo3Worlds stuff that Imra seemed to be agreeing more and more with Rokk, and looked constantly tired of arguing with Garth and trying to keep him from flying off of the handle.

Imra and Rokk are acting a lot more like the increasingly exasperated parents to an unruly child, than like Garth's wife and best friend...

With Garth's current hothead interpretation, it would actually make sense for Rokk and Imra to hook up.
