Here's the cover in question. But isn't that supposed to be Green Dragon (jo Nah) and Cosmic Boy (and maybe Saturn Girl) along with what appears to be the Rebirth Lightning Lad on the Alan Quah cover?
And that appears to be SW6 Saturn Girl with the ponytail, vaguely defined but still obvious, behind Steel and Green Dragon. Plot Twist: The Bendisboot Saturn Girl is also here, on the left-most part of the picture behind Batgirl. Maybe the two Saturn Girls used their telepathy to convince everyone that Hal Jordan's hair was never grey.
This isn't the first time the current Legion has been used accidentally in place of the classic team for covers and other art recently, is it? Wasn't the Bendisboot Lightning Lad on a Blue Beetle cover alongside members of the classic Legion?
It actually makes me depressed about the Legion's viability as a property. A lot of the creatives at DC now seem to have no idea who the Legion is, and when they do use them they can't tell the reboots apart and just use the first image they find off Google. They didn't grow up with a Legion. Didn't read a Legion. No guest appearances or cameos in other books. No connection to other properties anymore. It's an obscure property now, even to the creatives.
There's a mix of costumes from more recent years on that second cover - current Donna Troy, Wally West, Nightwing & Beast Boy (at least, wouldn't be shocked if the rest of the curent Titans are there, even if costumes are more ambiguous - there's definitely *a* Raven & Cyborg), current Jade, Burnside Batgirl, and OYL Tim Drake. And the first cover (with the Fatal Five) has a classic [pre-Crisis] Batgirl and weird suits for Supergirl (black costume w/trousers) and... a Donna Troy in a blue version of her NTT suit with WW tiara?
My views are my own and do not reflect those of everyone else... and I wouldn't have it any other way.
I see Dreamy-Eyed Twunk Mordru is still there. Maybe he's the result of Mysa absorbing all of Crazy-Eyed Mountain Hermit Mordru's dark magic to become the Black Witch.
Speaking of Mysa, she's here but I don't see her signature eyelid tassels. How is she supposed to distract enemies in combat? And didn't Ultra Boy have long hair by the end of the retroboot, or am I remembering wrong?
