Cool! With a Dave Gibbons backup story! I love Dave's work, this is gonna be awesome.
but...
Could somebody get the images for us here? For some reason PopCultureShock won't work for me (I think it's my firewall)
-thanks and stuff-

Natch! My firewall must me preventing me from downloading, too.

PCS has been having major issues the last couple of days, as have a lot of comic news sites. I'll try and grab the images and post them.

Tried to revisit the site but I'm timing out. Perhaps its because of the traffic the site is getting with DC's "Countdown to Infinite Crisis" and "New Avengers" previews.

It's a great preview though and it seems like the Legion is becoming more and more a bunch of outlaws than a positive movement.

Darn! I hope you guys can see it soon! It's pretty interesting. We get confirmation that

not all adults hate the Legion (much to Dirk's chagrin )I'll be really intersted to see what everyone thinks!

Hey LL, if you can get the legion, do you think you can grab Countdown too?

Thanks!

got it going...i'll see if this works...

shoot! couldn't get it to go...perhaps you can try this link:

LSH#4, page 1

Here we go:

darn was trying to add spoilers to my second post in this thread...ended up adding a new post. I'm reeeally embarrassed. Sorry bout that.

Agreed! Dave's recent covers for JSA (Mr. TerrificS, Atom and Atom Smasher) have been lovely. I'm excited to see what he does with WaK's Legion.

At least Shadow Lass looks bluer than blue...

Oh and thanks to whoever added spoilers to the thread title, in my excitement at finding the preview I forgot! Agggh! I would edit this into a previous reply but everytime I try to edit I end up making a new post. Gosh I'm an idiot! *runs weeping into the night*

This is the first time we have seen the new incarnation of the LSH drawn by anyone other than Barry Kitson! It's always cool when you see another artist's interpretation for the first time!

That's okay Drura. I edited the title of the thread to add a spoiler tag since I posted the pages.

Kewl beans .

*is as excited as a Bismollian in a rivet factory**

#4's coming out month's end, right??? i so cannot wait!!!!

RTVU2, I've posted the Countdown preview here .

Magnificent work Scottie! Thankyewlots'n'lots! This preview looks great, I like seeing other's interpret the new stuff too...too bad there's not a page of the Gibbons work to look at.

Could we be seeing a reworking of "The Outlaw Legion" or "Legion on the Run"? I wonder if we'll they'll be seeing Nardo pretty soon?

...and I want a cookie too!!

I added the spoiler to your post and then deleted the second post

I tried to resist, but I was weak and I looked at the preview. Igee, I don't think this shows the Legion as outlaws; rather, I think it shows that the SPs are fascists.

It is way cool seeing a Legionnaire's parents ACTING like parents (i.e., making their son self-conscious and uncomfortable!) Dirk's parents are clearly aging hippies, living vicariously through their son's "rebellion."

It makes Dirk's character even more interesting. Someone who might naturally be heroic and non-conformist is inwardly conflicted because it's what his parents WANT him to be! Triplicate Girl was right: Dirk is acting loyal -- to his parent's vision of him -- rather than genuinely FEELING loyal to the Legion. So, Dirk's personal story arc will be whether he develops true loyalty to the Legion or resigns/goes to the dark side to annoy his parents. I LOVE THIS!

Thanks Cru!

I really hope we see more adults who sympathise with the Legion. One of the few misgivings about the new Legion that I had (along with many others) was that it seemed too black and white, too simplistic. It's good to see it confirmed that there are indeed shades of grey.

Dirk's embarrassment was absolutely priceless!

I'm such a relative newcomer to all things LSH that I feel a bit unqualified to even speculate, but...

... I don't know about Dirk. I think Triplicate Girl was right on the money about a desire to be admired. He didn't seem to be motivated by the need to rebel against his parents initially, when he was talking to her. I also don't get the sense that he's in any way devoted to the core ideal/dream behind the Legion at all, nor does he seem like the type who would be. It would be easy for me to write him off as vain, spoiled and overly impressed with himself... but actually, he reminds me a lot of someone who's calculating and presenting an idealized 'image' of himself to the world. He seems to be too socially adept to *seem* insecure.. but who knows? No one's really 100% sure of themselves at 17-19.

Heh. Yeah, his parents came across as 'aging hippies' to me too. I've read that the youth of today are increasingly conservative in rebellion against their hippie parents. Everything old is new again.

And it's pretty cool to me that Waid, being in his 40s, is managing to write teenage characters that ring (more or less) true to me, someone from a different generation.

Definitely enjoying this series as well. If this title is given space to work and develop, I see no reason why it won't be a great success.

Lots of information in those panels. Looks like a really exciting story as things heat up!

Plus....
50-year-old hippies!

There was a "Mom bakes cookies for the Legion" scene in a past story - was it Star Boy's mother? Maybe the recipe is at the end....

There seems to be no shortage of crinimals for the Legion to fight - and the sci-cops always look like they're geared for serious battle. So why is the Legion seen as the big anomaly? There appear to be other things out there posing threats on a regular basis.

I SOOOOOO want a full-gear SciPol action figure!
