The actual previews are just be in a matter of days. Until then, Ryan provided a sneak peek on Instagram last night -

Some epic futuristic action rounds out year one of the Legion leading into @rileyrossmo amazing future state issues! #legionofsuperheroes #dccomics #dcuniverse #longlivethelegion #wip #comicart #pencildrawing

He also is an armored roly poly that is nearly indestructible when rolled up.

So Radius Lad is basically Antennae Lad as an armadillo?

I'm not liking much about this run, but I dig Monster Boy, X-Ray Girl, and Radius Lad!

I think Monster Boy has great potential.

So, that's super-weird detail about Colossal Boy. Does that mean that he was just recently born?

We don't actually know his home planet in this version, do we?

Hey so Legion #11 is it for me.

Yeah that one line from Zod was too cringy and too God awful for me to brush off. That was Tom King-level bad. I'm out. I'm not even gonna comment on the issues for the sake of making a joke about how bad I think it is.

*muttering* Could've had freaking Marguerite Bennett or Magdalene Visaggio, pain in the ass

(Also guys Riley Rossmo mentioned Antennae Lad and Infectious Lass will be in Future State. They're his fave Subs)

A Drura appearance is a plus point.

The team are going to have a lot of moments mistaking Monster Boy visits with deadly shadow dragon things.

Being born as a grown up makes birth a bit difficult.

Sook art is still a big plus for the book.

I still think the opening page is a waste of limited space. Lar has left the team, and huffed off. But only to nip into a Post-A-Thon booth, to keep the readers up to date. With things we already knew. At the least the page could offer some new snippets, while acting as a glorified previously paragraph.

I?m really not a fan of how much dialogue Bendis puts into books; the word balloons block so much of the art.

I have... so many mixed feelings about all of this, but I will say that I am happy that I called which Zod that was lol.

I like dialogue, it's just so much of Bendis's dialogue feels like it doesn't say anything.

I may be in the minority, but the opening monologue from Mon does seem to give some new insights into why he had problems with Superboy AND why he eventually left. Of course, I've forgotten most of what actually happened earlier so I can't say how much is new...!

I agree with you Ibby. (So a minority of 2. Yay!)
The only thing we seemed to gather from all the previous appearances was that Mon-El felt weird working with his great-whatever-grandfather. This more suggests that he feels slighted as already being a "Superman" on the team and then the leaders getting Jon from the 21st Century. He wonders if he's needed. He feels slighted and excluded. A bit more understandable, particularly if he has a heroic history as he suggests, but he stills comes across whiney. His attitude at least does not fit with the classic "Superman" he seems to think he should be. So at least a little more than a two-dimensional character.

That could actually be used as part of a pseudo-scientific explanation for their size-changing ability, though. So the giant mother gives birth to a normal-sized adult human.

And that's about as much thought as I want to give to that problem.

Gim's story sounds like a variation on the Mork & Mindy baby, which was not the high point of that series.

I am disappointed in this version of Mon-el. Maybe it's set up so that in 3 years he'll develop into the stoic hero he's traditionally been, but I don't much like this guy. There was a podcast interview with Bendis just before the series was launched (don't recall which one) and he said "people hate Mon-el". I thought he was talking about the tv version who dumped Supergirl, but maybe he had this character in mind.

Just from the artwork, looks like we may have a Dawnstar-Ultra Boy coupling.

I also don't like this version of Mon. I wonder, did Bendis intend this? Was he trying to make Mon more different from Supes? Funny how Bendis is so good at making characters UNlikeable, and has trouble making any truly likeable.

As I've said before, it seems to me Bendis is strongly influenced by the spoiled, selfish irresponsible playboy growing into a hero depiction of Mon-El from Supergirl, even down to the beard last issue (which seems to be mysteriously gone now?). Apparently the assumption is that more people would be familiar with that incarnation? I don't know. But I didn't like it on the show and I don't like it here.

Beard Lass is just one of the many members who didn't make the initial group shots along with Entropy Lad and X-Ray Lass. All of their origins will be amazing, when they are revealed.

Not as amazing as Gold Lantern's origin, though. Nothing can top that!

I seem to recall an interview he did a few months ago where he specifically mentioned Mon being 'a completely different character' to viewers of the CW than he was in the original comics, so this wouldn't surprise me at all.

EDIT: It took me a little while but I found the interview!

For anyone who doesn't want to read the whole thing, this is what he says about Mon:
Quote
Yeah. It's Mon-El and it's a mixture of? Mon-El's perspective is my favorite of all time.

I thought you were going a different way with that question. Sorry. Mon-El and his legacy and his connection to Krypton and Earth is going to be an enormous curtain pull back on a lot of stuff about the Legion of Super-Heroes and I'm very excited about that. Also, because that character's got a different legacy with different audiences. For the Supergirl TV show, he's a rascal. Even when I first said we were doing Legion and people went, ooh Mon? Their response to Mon-El was different than mine and I got very excited about that.
