When was the last time that the Legion got the cover of a magazine about contemporary comics?

Doesn't Tinya kind of look like she's drawn by Lightle there?

Imra's Mia Farrow haircut doesn't hold up well.

I've been subscribing to CBG with my Dad for like 20 years. When I get it, I'll read it and tell you about it.

Then someone will ask me to scan it and I'll promise I will and it'll take me six months to get around to it [Big Grin] [Razz]

There is a pdf there with a run-down of LSH characters and, what I don't like, the whole run between Crisis and ZH is being ignored since "Johns decided that is not canon anymore". I could say the same thing about Archie Legion.

Who's that ugly woman wearing Tinya's costume?

Look at it this way...a lot of people who died during the 5 year gap are still alive. ANd that's a whole lot of characters....think Blok's alive...that should help put things in somewhat perspective

Sgt. Bilko. See? It says so right next to him on the cover. And he's got a big "S" on his chest! Do you need them to spell it out for you?!

It was sarcasm.

Actually, St. Bilko might be preferable. I try my best to refuse that Legion needs Superman/boy/girl/dog to be viable, I find Legion the better overall concept. I'm fine with S-teens as teammates and the occasional guest appearance by Superman but for the most part, I like my Legion, pick a Legion, as top dog, even if it's only in my mind.

You can say you're picking up continuity from a different point, but in a multiverse, what is canon? I just don't like that any one writer can be allowed to decide such things about any comic series (at least, any writer who didn't create said series).

Out of all the Legionnaires they could place on the cover, I find it interesting they included a topless Monstress in the upper left corner
