THE CBR COMMUNITY STANDARDS & RULES ~ Know them. Follow them. Love them.
Not only imagine -- I felt the same way. I recall looking at the art in Superboy and the Legion 203 -- and thinking something is way off. Then I checked the credits -- then I saw the page introducing Mike (who had actually inked one of Cockrum's stories in the previous issue -- and did a great job). For some reason, 203 was one of Grell's best as far as Legion goes. His work was a bit too stiff thereafter. I didn't warm up to his work until years later - maybe around Longbow Hunters, but he had improved significantly over the years.
I did like some of Grell's character designs -- especially Dawnstar and the short-lived one for Chlorophyll Kid. The Night Girl bikini was a bit embarrassing -- as was Cosmic Boy's. Those two looked like they were ready to make a porno.
What are some of the funniest insults in Legion history?
Although I love Dream Girl, she was the butt of two of Wildfire's funniest remarks:
Wildfire: "As usual, Dream Girl's power left something to be desired - namely accuracy"
Wildfire (at realizing Dream Girl was serious about running for leader): "next thing you know, Krypto the Super Dog will be running"
What are some of your favorites?
I gotta he honest, I don't get the hate for Chams new look
The others I get but I'm not seeing the problem with his.
Also I forgot to mention him but I hope Tyroc appears in this.

Have we already gotten a glimpse at Bendis' Legion in Superman #9?
I do want to see some new development with the characters -- especially as far as powers. I mean -- it would be cool if Phantom Girl could stuff that a poltergeist could do -- instead of just turning intangible. But I hope the characterization is somewhat familiar. I'm not happy with how wimpy Brainiac 5 looks in that Sook character desgin.
Definitely looks to be the Legion as there are some rather distinct character shadows there like Bouncing Boy, Lightning Lad, Dawnstar, Gates, Cham and who could possibly be Mon-El on the left and Sensor Girl/Projectra at the top. There's also Saturn Girl's new hair making it's debut just below LL.
Chameleon Boy only takes on a human apperance to better fit in with his teamates, and usually stays as close to human as he can to make it easier. His true form is very alien unsettling. This new version just looks weird when compared to his past versions, and when the whole point of him taking a human form is to fit in why would he choose to look so odd.
This is the true form of a Durlan.
