DescriptionOne ofthe most common questions that I get asked about the Infinite Timelines series is a variation on the following " Is there really a plan or ending ? Do you have it all plotted out ? and how much longer can you do this for ?"The answer to those questions is YES. YES. And As Long As I Have To." I wanted to give you a taste of what is to come. Mentalla is now beyond time & space and so we turned the original Batman's Rogues Gallery into an upcoming showcase. Anthony Castrillo has been very kind and helpful throughout the process . I am so glad that Anthony has embraced the Re-Legion project by taking on more than a few commissions for me but..this one was one of his most challenging pieces. So here we go.. XS , Kid Flash & The Tornado Twins and other fast footed heroes will be featured in Infinite Timelines : The Quick & The Dead. Shadow Lad & Crystal Kid along with Light Lass, Element Lad and a host of Legion Academy folks will be showcased in Infinite Timelines : Light, Darkness & Death. Cosmic Boy, Wildfire, Matter-Eater Lad and Thunder to name but a few find themselves in the epic Infinite Timelines : Crimes & Consequences event. John Watson has done an amazing job on Infinite Timelines : A Multiplicity Of Murders featuring some really dark & delicious twists for Duo Damsel & Bouncing Boy. As a fellow Legion fan. he has not just been the artist but co-editor, co-director and a very active script-writer. We have reworked & scrapped whole sections, including some amazing art that did not meet his high standards, all just to make for a better story. Trevor VonEeden has had a very similiar role To John, in Infinite Timelines : And A Child shall Lead them , where multiple incarnations of Saturn Girl & Lightning Lad ( along with allies both living & dead) battle Darkseid And last but by no means least we have Legionnaires large & small, time-twisted romances and danger galore in Infinite Timelines : In The Shadow Of Giants. Believe it or not most of these series are either totally completed and just waiting patiently in line for posting or in the final stages.Russ is doing some amazing digital work and so I will post very soon a "variant cover version" of this and instead of the faces in the portraits..we will actually give you a glimpse of a cover from each story-line. Russ desrves the status " Honorary Legionnaire " for his epic work this week alone. Mentalla is going to be popping up when you least expect it and the grim task that she now undertakes will effect the Infinite Timelines main event to it's very core. So enjoy and thank you to all who have helped, those helping behind the scenes and stay tuned to see what the future holds. Aidan Social/Sharing |

He previewed "The Lightning Saga" with a small image of Dawnstar holding a rod and I practically jumped out of my chair squealing in delight. Folks have asked me why his/her favorite Legionnaire has not been featured so far, this gives them a taste of the good things still to come.

I always look forward to checking in my old favorites and learning new ones here every week. Kudos, sir, and Long Live the Legion!

Sensational The original cover this is based on has always been a favorite of mine. This is the kind of stuff that has me anxious for Fridays and has been a key inspiration to my own commission cover fun with Nova. The Legion will live long as you keep us entertained with these covers Aidan!

Wonderful Cover! With promise of things to come. I's looking forward to the variant cover. Can you give a hint or Number as to how many issues each series will be?

Maybe 1 cover from each series a week or 1 from 3 of those until finished than do the other 3.

Fascinating cover with a very interesting an unique layout, just as interesting is the description describing your modeus operandi for the infinite timelines.
