I don't like super-skinny Saturn Girl. If anything, she should be the opposite. Being an 'iron butt' and all.
I like the image of Superboy racing Red Robin featured on the ADVENTURE COMICS cover. Don't like Tim Drake's current direction much, but I do like the costume. Every time I see it, I think Dr. Midnite's getting a guest star turn, only to be disappointed.

Of teen female heroes, Courtney in JSA comes closest that I can think of as being drawn like most fit teens that I see running around the high school. Skinny wouldn't be unusual at that age though. Those Frank eyes add to the emaciated look IMO. I mean, look at Superboy? Downright malnourished.

A cover and we're up to two legionnaires in the backup story. You figure with a menace destroying the universe, we might get half the team by the finale.
I wonder if Star Boy and Polar Boy will be played for comedy a bit - bickering - it's the Odd Couple reference. Polar Boy all by-the-book and Star Boy fast and loose.

Don't worry. This one has 'writer returning original version down the road' written all over it. I can almost guaranty it happening by 2016. Willing to give 3 to 1 odds even.

I've never seen Starro before but I've heard of it. It's a talking starfish from space or something like that isn't it?

Actually with Star Boy and Polar Boy it'd go for a more awkward, "Of Mice and Men" type thing with Brek having to handle Thom's crazitude.
