    Default Bendis' Legion of Super Heroes

    legion-of-superheroes-1-cover-dc-comics-reboot.jpg

    Here is one of the covers to Legion of Super Heroes #1

    I think this is not the final version , beacause they will correct it to make Lightning Lad white ansd Bouncing Boy black!

    I had to look closely to even find Bouncing Boy. Even though Bendis is writing this I’m looking forward to their return.

    I believe Lightning Lad is correct.

    For all the Legion stuff, you may want to catch up with the other thread: https://community.cbr.com/showthread...is-and-Sook-An

    Note: I just saw the Bleeding Cool article. Guess we'll see what we get when it releases.
    We've seen more art with LL being black and it's now been officially announced as a reboot, so that's the version I expect to see.

    Whether he is or isn't doesn't impact my interest, however. I could care less.
    I'm still indifferent.

    Seriously, you can’t even see bouncing boy on the cover, so I don’t know why it’s such a big deal.

    It's nice to see the Legion smiling and happy, at least.

    Most of their redesigns and costumes are awful. Cosmic Boy looks less like the Legion's Captain America than he does like Magnetic Kid, Ultra Boy's suit colors are all messed up, Star Boy's golden skin looks just plain damn weird, I hate Triplicate Girl's three different hair colors, Timberwolf looks less like a wolf than a bear, and poor Element Lad looks like a Bizarro! And does Lightning Lad have two differently colored eyes?

    But I can't even pretend I'm not still excited. It's the sprocking Legion. Of course I'm excited. Of course I'm going to read it. It's not every day that DC puts out a Legion book these days. dammit. So I'll pick it up.

    He’s there. The furthest away. The most obscured. The hardest to see. I wonder if he’ll even be in the book.

    Weird they choose Lightning Lad to make black. There's so many lightning/electric themed black heroes you'd think they choose someone else like maybe Karate Kid or someone just to be different. Meh.

    They jumped on the cliche of race-changing a redheaded character into a black one on-top of the electricity-based black hero cliche.

    Seriously, what is it about electric types and redheads that make them the first choice to racebend? It's just odd how predictable it is.

    Lightning Lad is still a red head at least.

    Im definitely looking forward to the legion coming back, hopefully some of these costumes don't stick, Bendis has been on a roll lately, and maybe he can stick the landing here.
