Damn.
The Legion is truly a contender for most beautiful book out there. The only ones I find better looking are Naomi and Far Sector (The Last God also, but it got a very different vibe).

New Bendis interview - in terms of immediate 'what's gonna be in the comics' stuff:
* Kevin Maguire's drawing the finale to the Mongul story/Lois dealing with Cameron Chase with #22, and specifically told Bendis he wanted to do an all-timer Superman fight in it.
* #23 and #24 are Superman visiting Doctor Fate, who is Khalid Nassour; while it starts off making sure magic wasn't involved in his decision to reveal himself, it turns into essentially a mystical therapy session with Superman working through the major events of the last couple years of his life (specifically including the Jurgens/Tomasi stuff).
* 25 is a double-sized issue where Ivan Reis returns, and he and Bendis introduce a new cosmic villain. This is also where the tease of Lana doing the Daily Star's story on Lois and Clark is going to really start to manifest.
Buh-bye
So one new magic villain and one new cosmic villain...Bendis' track record with those archetypes is spotty, so not sure what to expect.
'New cosmic villain' feels like a crapshoot - Red Cloud's and the Invisible Mafia are good, his Zod and Mongul reinventions are as interesting as those characters have ever been, but Rogol Zaar.
I really hope if they're dipping back into Rebirth territory while on the couch there's a panel where Clark just says "My kid accidentally lit a cat on fire. It was mega %^(#ed up."
Buh-bye
If he doesn’t bring up Reborn I’ll consider this a misfire . A new cosmic villain eh? If Reis is designing him looking forward to it.
I wonder how Bendis looks back on the New 52 era? Be interesting to get his perspective as a Marvel guy.
"It's fun and it's cool, so that's all that matters. It's what comics are for, Duh."
Words to live by.
Lana's getting a job at a rival newspaper and is doing a story on Lois and Clark? She's going to end up a hated character again, isn't she?
"They can be a great people Kal-El, they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you. My only son." - Jor-El
Not necessarily,lois is entirely biased towards the concept of superman. I would welcome any instory voice that critics the character and the concept itself. Its the need of the hour in my view. Superman shouldn't have it so easy. As long as the character(lana) is written with sound integrity and fights for the truth. I would welcome it. If the character is made into strawman like Manchester black. I got nothing. This would be bad.
