I'm trying to be open-minded but some of these revisions will be a real struggle. TimberWolf just looks off. I'm not sure what's going on with Blok, Projectra, Dream Girl, Phantom Girl, and some of the others.
Then again, maybe I'm not open-minded. Maybe I just want my Legion back.

Bring back the REAL Legion

Agreed! I don't like the art and designs with this preview.
After months of only seeing group shots of the team, I'm ready to see how they're actually written. (that brief appearance in Superman was not the best)
I love that blonde girl's "I want to speak with the manager" haircut.
Ryan Sook's art is always a treat. I'd even be open to the character designs...if it didn't come with the whole erasure of the classic Legion aspect. I have a feeling this is doomed before it really begins...
I want to be excited about this book, but the character designs and my expectations for Bendis just leave me feeling lukewarm about it.
Plus, it's yet [I]another[/I] rebooted Legion...

The art doesn't feel as polished to me here. I don't know if it's the coloring or inking, or what.
Before Bendis came in, I was interested in the Legion at least a bit. Since, I have NO interest in it.

I feel the same way.
I am going to pass. As much as I love the Legion I just can't get on board with Bendisboot. One of the main draws of the Legion is its rich and long history, and Bendis just chucked all that out the window. Waid did the same thing and his reboot died a slow sad death just like I predict this one will. Fans of the Legion are a loyal bunch is you respect the history, but when you don't we turn on you pretty fast. Bendis fans will eat it up because they always eat up what he puts out be it good or bad, but I have no idea what non Benids fans will think of this book. I know going by reading a lot of Bendis previous team books that they are not his strength.
The art is beautiful.
Too bad it’s wasted on this absolutely sure to fail in under 5 years tops version of The Legion.
The Legion by nature is always going to have continuity issues. It just kind of sucks that for this new team to exist they literally erased the old one.
The art looks great, and I can't help but wonder if Bendis is gonna try to make Imra x Superboy a thing.

I'm the absolute reverse. I find the whole history of the Legion such a headache to even glance at that a clean start is for the best to me. Plus, I find most of the old design ugly.

Ditto. Give us back the LSH.
