FINAL CRISIS: LEGION OF THREE WORLDS #3"I like to know the individual character from the inside out instead of just drawing superficial body types. When I'm drawing reaction shots, I want to know these characters, and have a sense of how each would truly react to the situations. It helps me stay in the story and tell the story."
"[Editor] Eddie [Berganza] told me he's surprised with three versions of the Legion that I'm trying to give each of them a sense of distinction," Perez continued. "I take the challenge of three Legions and making all the alternate dimension characters -- like three Cosmic Boys -- different, stylized characters. I didn't want them to appear as the same character at different ages -- like a dual role type thing. I didn't want it to be like the Mirror, Mirror episode of Star Trek, where there were doppelgangers played by the same actors."
Perez said, "When I was working on the different eras of the Legion, I would evoke the artists who were the most established ones at that point in time. These three versions of the Legion are very different, especially the current one. Barry Kitson and Francis Manapul are totally different artists, so distinctly different that I had to find a middle ground to make this 'present' version of the Legion diverse."
NRAMA: There's just so much detail. It's really fun to look at.
GP: I had a great time on it. And I'm having a great time on this whole series, really. I've been wanting to do the Legion for so long, and now I get to do it, so I can't complain. And I can already tell it's going to be a lot of fun. This teaser image just proves it
NRAMA: Now that you've gotten started on the story, are you enjoying finally getting to draw the Legion, George?
GP: I'm having the time of my life. It's a lot of work. I'm spending a lot of long hours on this book. But again, as I've told you more than once and anyone within earshot, I've always wanted to do the Legion, and it's criminal that I haven't. And finally -- finally -- justice is being served, as only a superhero comic can bring it.
