Man, I love the art in this book...!

Also love how WILDFIRE is being treated. He's always straddled the line between "leader" and "bossy" so the "I-told-you-so" attitude is right in line - as is the protectiveness he feels for Dawny.

The art does look pretty good. the fact that one of the 2 Legionnaires that appears to be sick is NOT one of the 2 we have been led believe 'dies' by the second issue is interesting. May just change my mind and check the issue out after all.

Again with the ludicrous concept that time is flowing simultaneously in the present and the future, and that a time traveller can 'take too long' in the future and 'not get to the past in time' to stop something.

Oy!

It's friggin' time travel! Superboy can spend *years* in the 30th century, and be home before Ma Kent realizes he's left! (Indeed, if he's not careful, he might come back *before* he left!)

Still, yes, the art is neat.

I always wished they would explain that time travel thing. It could be as simple as the time bubbles being extremely hard to program so they keep it at exactly 1000 years to reduce deadly dangerous mishaps.

I too like the art in this book (from what little taste we got from this brief preview).
Very clever of them to pick an artist that will surely appeal to a younger crowd, while keeping us hard-to-impress veterans happy too. wink

What I think I'm really going to enjoy is having Yera's character fleshed out a bit more with this series. I want her to really hit that "main character" status instead of the background supporter that she has been all this time.

I also cannot tell you how happy I am to have Gates, Quislet and Tellus get their fair share of the limelight (FINALLY!!!) in this new book.
I hope they don't go and do something rash like kill off any of these Legionnaires!

As for the rest, I have always liked T-Wolf so having him be the "Wolverine" type character (which he's destined to become) in this mix is ok by me.
Dawny and Wildfire were never my all-time favourites, but they never bothered me either! The extra space this book will allow, apart from the regular series, is sure to make ALL these Legionnaires really hit their mark.

Total agreement with this. I'm stoked to learn more about Yera, Gates, Tellus and Tyroc.

Also not the biggest fan of the Timber-Wolf-as-Wolverine characterization, but he's was once a favorite, when his primary power was super-acrobatics / super-agility. I love dynamic characters who are all over the place, like Spider-Man and Nightcrawler.

Thanks for posting the link, Paul. The text pieces have my interest much more than the preview pages. Fascinating stuff.

Nice!
I have to say I like Tyroc's jacket thingy that's he's got on now. It makes his new hideous costume a bit more tolerable to me.

Ok I'll stop now about the costume!

The text pages certainly add a lot to the story. You know immediately what's going on, why the Legionnaires are there. I'd like to see them do these text pages more often.

It really looks like a good story with very dynamic art.

*squeal of delight!*

Hmm, it sounds intriguing.

I skipped "Flashpoint," so I don't know what the Flashpoint Breakwall is. Does that mean the Legion is still from old DCU, and they know they're crossing into an alternate timeline to the DCnU?

Maybe that has to do with why they cannot get back...a one way ticket.


Active LMB character is still Beast Boy.

Is the pathogen specific to humans?
That would seem to be Alastor's goal.

So, it should follow that Yera, Tellus and Gates are immune and Wildfire would be anyway. Dawny's DNA might be different enough, too, given the new Starhaven history established in dotREBELS this last run. Wolf's might be enough as well, since he's from Zoon.

Tyroc might be immune too, depending on how long Marzal was in insolation - 20 thousand years might be enough.
I don't know how long it might take their genetics to become divergent.

And how did Alastor get to the past?
Did he steal a time bubble before Titan blew up or did the Institute make new ones immediately after they moved to Naltor (IIRC.)
He seemed surprised to be where he was, confused.

Is this contagion going to show up in the rest of the DCU 52?

Preview looks great but wouldn't Dawnstar be the Legionnaire least likely to ralph in the bushes because of time travel sickness... I mean her power revolves around super speed maneuvering in outer space after all... unless she has caught the pathogen... and I'm fine with that

I think Dawny's queasiness here, much like in the issue last volume where Gates teleported them to Naltor, could be from having her surroundings changed instantly and her pathfinding senses overwhelmed for a moment as they adjust.

Is anyone else having trouble getting the preview pages to open? I can see the main page, but clicking on the individual pages does nothing. And I've tried in IE and Firefox, as well as with and without my firewall enabled.

It drives me nuts that DC gives these random websites "exclusive" previews and then I can't open them. Put them on the DC Comics website also.

I thought her throwing up was a sign that she was infected with that pathogen.

It looks like Gates was teleporting to safety willingly; does that mean he'll be captured and thought dead?
