Hope you don't mind the small edit to the subject TL. I just had to say this (since its something we have to live with at home) and didn't want people ticked due to spoilers.
What comes after "Eat it, Grandpa!"?

NP Scott, I usually remember but i forgot to put the warning on.
Jeepers some folks are gonna hate that line, but the people who love the Turner Supergirl design jumping aboard this issue will probably love Ultraboy for life.
So we have a new colorist? I of mixed minds about that, I like Sno-cone's work but at times Barry's art seemed overwhelmed by their colors. I actually prefered the pastels look of the early issues.

Speaking of colorists - what's Tom McCraw doing these days?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I don't like the whole teens vs. adults thing anymore - it comes across really ... childish here. Like a Home Alone movie or something.

It is getting a bit monotonous. I was hoping we'd moved on by now.

It almost seems to be written as a parody of Adult-Teen conflict. Like the song "Officer Krupke" in West Side Story. That would require some concious effort though. I can't imagine giving Waid that much credit. I think he's playing it straight and overdoing it.
Hopefully this is just to bring the Supergirl bandwagon up to speed and the last time we see it for a while. Her readership is probably a little younger than the LSH readership and this might play better with them and hook a few of them.

So, is it just me, or was the kid "Joseph" on one page but "Jonathan" on the next?

KLAR is no doubt a play on Klar Ken, the Superman of 2965. Notice the "S" curl.

Abusing newly-granted authority already! Tsk tsk. Forcing grandpa to hand over his specs seems like illegal seizure of private property. If they can't play nice with their new powers, somebody might take them away. Go Klar! (my new battle cry )

At some point I am definitely hoping that the whole Teen vs Adult thing goes away. I wasn't outrageously thrilled with the premise when the book relaunched, and it's only growing tedious over time. And even though there appears to have been a method to their madness in these preview pages, I was really turned off by the Legionnaires' attitudes. They were like the snotty brats that I wanna pound whenever I see them at the mall.
There are times when this Legion feels familiar to me, but sometimes they make me want to drop the title altogether. Back in the day, the Legion used to be role models. Now I wonder exactly what sort of message that this era of heroes is sending...

The art and colours look great - and Klar organising a protest was fun!
Am I the only one who thinks of the swinging sixties with the young vs old theme? (Am I the only one who remembers the sixties?)
Legion Worlds NINE - wait, there's even more ongoing amazing adventures? Yup, and you'll only find them in the Bits o' Legionnaire Business Forum.

I was born in 1968, so my memories of the 60's are minimal at best

Some things about the 80's are best left forgotten

Ah the adults v. kids trauma.
I'm pleased to say that, IMHO, this preview is actually doing it right. Yes, it feels like we're beat over the head with it when the legionnaires simply keep repeating the refrain. But when the story actually shows that it isn't just adults the Legion is after but an uncolorful, impersonable status quo, then I'm all for it.
