"Brainiac and the Legion of Super Heroes"?

DC Comics Blogpost

and kara's gonna be part of the story...hmm will she and brainy meet and have cupid stike...

Sterling's writing the 31st century part but I guess its not out there that more could arrive in the 21st century

Where has the front of Jeckies costume gone? It looks awful!

Probably just mis-colored for now. It looked right in Superman # 692.

Oh good grief, the new Sensor Girl costume is HIDEOUS!!!

Boobs out and a mask? Not a good look...

I don't think it's miscoloured, it's a redesign. The boots, gloves etc are different.

New Sensor Girl costume aside, this actually sounds pretty exciting! I think this is a groovy idea and hopefully--just maybe--this could turn on some new readers to the Legion.

I'm glad to see Adventure syncing up with the Superman books so both Superboy and the Legion can interact with them. I'd prefer if afterwards the Legion (in Adventure or wherever) then can move away from the Superman books and be on their own, but I think this is a decent marketing attempt to draw attention to the Legion here, to regain old fans and gain new ones as well.

It's a minor redesign, but all you need to do is color the cleavage area white and the arms red, and it looks exactly right.

And I'm sure that what we're seeing on the blog there isn't the cover professionally colored, it's just a thrown-together rough draft to tease.

and a tiara!

WHAT?!?!?!!?!?!?!

Great Hera!

I'd missed that!

It sounds nteresting. I wonder if it'll be wrapping up the Legion in the 21st century plotlines to clear the deck for Levitz's new run. The ongoing Legion plotlines have been my favorite parts of the new Superman books, so I'm glad everything is coming to a head.

Argh! What's with them redesigning Legionnaires' costumes to make them uglier! Oh well, I'll hope it's a coloring error (but the way DC has been going lately that's probably not the case). Anyways, the rest sounds pretty cool. Still some trepidation about the Johnsboot but they are at least giving it a big push by tying it in to the big Superman event before Levitz takes over.

Wow, that has to be the worst destruction of a great costume, ever.

I'm stunned that that came off the pen of Manapul, laughing as I see it. What was he thinking?

The story has potential though I might have to cut and paste over that uni. lol

Gotta be a miscolour...Look under her arms, there's cloth creases.

Looking at the pencils gives me the same impression as the final version. I'm putting money on this was intentional.

Besides, without Legion being published, we need a good reason to riot.

Wow, I hope that was a coloring error. The whole point of the costume was to hide. The tiara is doubly ridiculous. The whole cover looks like something of a rush job.

Like others have said, though, costume aside, it sounds like a good read. Hopefully, I'll have enough money next summer to pick up this big crossover Superman event. (Actually I really hope it is just a lead-up, and the Legion is out by the time the event starts, even if I can afford it. I hate "events.")

Okay, yes, now there is a new costume I do not like.

Strange miscoloring going on with Brainiac's sleeves as well, it seems. Or he's wearing a purple jumpsuit with grey sleeves and a black coat.

Why don't we just rip the sleeves off of all the male characters and make sure that every female character has a boob window? That seems to be the trend.

Brainy probably wasn't miscolored, he'd ripped off his sleeves to join the new sleeveless look, but then was embarassed by his puny biceps (compared to Garth and Brin) and quickly threw something over them...

LOL, Jeckie probably just forgot the concealing part of her costume in the 31st century

I have to say that I'm pleased to hear that the Legion is about to be "reborn" - again - in a major storyline including Supes and Kara (which means publicity).

This probably will be leading to Levitz' own Legion book, tying up danglers like Bedard did for Shooter after Waid left the Threeboot. As there has not been that much story been told (ten pages per issue!), it should not be too difficult to streamline the Retroboot for the next decade.

Cool!

I think I'm one of the few who never liked Jeckie's Sensor Girl outfit (it's a striking costume - just not right for Jeckie IMO) but that update is hideous!

I would much rather see her in the original Sensor Girl outfit - or better yet, an updated version of her pink and blue Adventure-era costume - than that mess.

Oh, hooray. :rolleyes: I was just thinking the other day that comics don't have enough boobs sticking out everywhere! Thanks, DC!

Jeckie is one character who CAN'T have a costume too outrageous. Dave Cockrum's design pretty much saw to that, and this is clearly an homage to that ...uh...seminal design. I do hope that the sleeves are miscolored, though. Clearly she plans on becoming a Luchador, and more power to her.

What would be a bigger Superman event than "Brainiac & The Legion," though? Must be that New Krypton War or something. Kinda sick of war, for my part.

The most significant part of the cover for me is that Wildfire isn't right next to Dawnstar.

It's worth reflecting how amazing it is to have Legion characters so prominently featured in the Superman books. I'm really enjoying Mon-El in "Superman." I am excited to see where his story goes. I know he had his own book and all in the 1990s, but that feels like another life. This approach has more potential to fit into a cohesive Superman/Legion mythos.

aside from the bad costume on Sensor Girl (which IS bad), does this mean that the new title in march is... The Legion of Super-Heroes?????

That's what I thought.

And let me echo the sentiments of Sensor's Girl "open window"!

I also do not like Sensor Girl's new costume. But, at least it distracts from Element Lad's poor choices. Wide bands at the elbow and hipboots? Costume update fail.

I'm guessing the title to be named later is a new Superboy title.

I'm looking forward to the story, though. I wonder if the Legion has to help Brainiac or some twist like that.
