Given that S-Prime claims to want to roll back the clock to the old days but winds up killing and dismembering truckloads of people in the process, I’d day he has more in common with Johns himself than with fanboys…

Well, popular internet theory is that S-Prime is Johns’ personification of the “whining fanboy,” who “likes things better in the old days” and so forth. If it’s true, then presumably he won’t get redeemed anytime soon.

Superboy-Prime takes it further than the nerd you speak of; He goes straight into Misery territory.

I am getting further away from DC (and Marvel) each week.

I love the Legion and would definitely buy this were it not for the Final Crisis tie-in. A major Legion project like this is sure to be a boost for the Legion and the team of Johns and Perez should be all the draw it needs.

Attaching it to a major crossover event could draw even more people. However, keeping it a special event of its own would be necessary to get my money. Another 5 issues of Final Crisis will only push me away.

Don MacPherson shows his geekness. :)

Superboy Prime is that annoying nerd who is always hanging around getting on everybody’s last nerve…you know, like (fillintheblank)! {{Pick your favorite target of the week}}

I thought L3W was okay, once they got past the Superboy-Prime parts. I do have a fear that all of these multiple versions of characters are being setup for cannon fodder for Superboy-Prime. (I don’t really see the need why the LSH who has so many members, would need even more from other universes included)

This adult LSH still confuses me though. There are pieces in there from v4, v3 and other times.

Don’t forget… Monstress went from being green to red as well. :)

Heh… the Legion creators beat Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness to the punch years before their new Hulk run. :)

That’s Kinetic… after undergoing an unwanted metamorphosis. :)

Oh, right, I remember Shikari — Dawnstar as Dragonfly, wasn’t she? Thank you for clearing that up. But what about the yellow with spots one in the upper left?

The three “bug-looking women” are:

(1) Shikari (upper right corner) – an alien tracker/walking GPS introduced during Legion Lost.

(2) Sensor (bottom left corner) – This is the snake-like Sensor after undergoing an unwanted metamorphosis.

(3) and Gates (bottom middle) – xenophobic teleporter.
