    Justice League UnitedAnnual #1 just came out and it's a doozy. The Legion is back and so is a new incarnation of their old foe, the Infinite Man. It gladdens my heart to see the Legionnaires' return, as they're such an integral part of the Superman franchise and mythos, and Jeff Lemire seems to be pulling out all the stops for old continuity buffs as he seamlessly weaves this into his thanagarian cult plot.

    Very promising issue for what promises to be an exciting arc. Here's to hoping there's more to come from Superman's friends from the future after it.

    Long Live the Legion!

    I give it three years before DC sends the Legion through another reboot.

    You missed their own comic, in which they were unceremoniously left hanging.

    Love them plus they are under a way better pen than Levitz's.

    Their title was cancelled way back and they weren't featured into anything after that so they were dropped for a year pretty much.

    It was a very good comic, and I'm not going to lie it really sparked my curiosity for the team. I know Geoff Johns, Jeff Lemire, and Jimmy Palmiotti have been talking a lot about them recently. Maybe after GI Zombie gets canceled (because we all know it will) Mr. Palmiotti could write it.

    Also while we're on the topic of good Annuals, everyone should check out the JLD Annual that just came out. Bad art, but a very good story.

    Also this seems like a topic that should have been started on the Legion's forms.

    @captainmarvel4ever: I thought about it, but the Legion is an indelible part of Superman's franchise, so it's no less appropriate to start it here.

    @self-dceit: It seems much much more appropriate to start a Legion topic, in the Legion forums.
