It showed both in art and writing. Looking forward to your "DCnU" project!

The mini series has been revealed!! Here's a link to new thread with another link to the Newsarama post regarding "Legion: Secret Origin" written by Paul and drawn by Chris.

Chris, I LOVE that cover (or whatever it is) in the Newsarama blurb!
...but you don't have a moment where you're sitting there staring at a table full of twenty-five characters with little name signs that say, "Hi, my superpower is confusing you!"

That piece of art is gorgeous. I'm looking forward to this- will it have some lasting bit that changes a Legionnaire- like when Cham was revealed to be Brande's son in the LSH's first mini?
I gotta admit, though, that another retelling of the team's origin wouldn't be in my top 10 (or even 20) desired storylines to get this treatment- especially considering the Saturn Girl/Cosmic Boy written by Levitz in the most recent tales of the team's history.
I wish Chris and DNA or somebody would get a crack at the New Wanderers...
Still, that art makes me look forward to this more than the prospect of the story does.

Levitz posted on FB that the emphasis is on secret, not origin. It's about the larger forces bringing the Legion together, not the kids save Brandes life on a star liner.

There are going to be very cool revelations about the Legion. It's not a retread at all.

I must say Mr.Batista out of all the artists who worked on the Legion after all the boots, your art stands out to me as the most energetic and suited for the Legion.
I tried to rip their soul out.I tried to make them forget Superman.
But they won't.

Got to ask - are you, as the cover seems to suggest, using the postboot Cosmic Boy costume (i.e., the same costume he had in your The Legion run with DnA), rather than the Silver Age costume?

actually it's a combination of his classic, giffen's and Sprouse's. I took the best from all.All of their classic outfits are getting reworked to make them feel not dated.

Just don't get rid of the Grell outfits. I'm pretty sure the internet would crack in half if you removed the amount of fan service those outfits afforded.

they are for the most part, updates of their classic suits. I think Cockrum did the best costumes period!

After that I have to pick between 2 projects involving the Legion. Unfortunately I can only do one of them..... Originally posted by Chris Batista:
They are both minis, one at 6 the other at 5. I am leaning towards one more than the other but there seems to be a roadblock or two in the way. It could be very cool but a nightmare to draw. I don't mean to be cryptic but I don't think I can mention them here......hopefully soon... So was the other one that you decided not to take the Star Trek/LSH project that was just announced at Comicon? If so I can see why it was a hard choice!
Still "Lardy" to my friends!

The Star Trek Legion mini was indeed the other project. I really wanted to do it but I did'nt fit in the final budget. It just seems like such a cool idea and I love Roberson.
