There's a pretty important Legion appearance in IC #6 -
Click Here For A SpoilerThere's a page that deals with "Snap Shots" of the different Earth's in the new multi-verse, and on Earth-247 we find the Reboot Legion, complete with Shakari shouting "I've finally found you." On the same page we see Bizarro Earth, "Generations" Earth, a Western Earth, Earth-S (Marvel Family) and an Earth featuring the Tangent Heroes.
At the end of the issue, all Earth's are rolled back into one. So does this mean the reboot Legion (including Shakari) are now off the table permanently?

It WAS kinda awesome! I actually couldn't wait to get back to the office to post this thread but rouge beat me to it!

Click Here For A SpoilerWhat this means is that we won't be seeing Shikari in the Threeboot. *BUT* they still exist somewhere. Kind of a cool appearance.

I get the Adventure Comics joke and all, but Earth 247? That is WAAYY down the list of important earths, if you ask me. I bet even Captain Carrot rates at least Earth 183. Powers that be really felt that bad about the reboot Legion?

Well, I'm going to repeat my complaint that the Adventure #247 reference makes no sense, since that particular Legion did not appear in Adventure #247.

I won't comment until I've actually seen it but can someone please tell us which characters appear?

Click Here For A Spoiler This has to be the lamest resolution to the team-lost-in-the-timestream-Shikari-in-the-threeboot dangling plot that I could have imagined. As such, it gave me a good chuckle. Also humorous was that I did not even get the 247 reference. Note the legion outpost, not Legionworld, looms in the background.
One could only hope for Superman when he was a boy, & appearances by the Legion of Super-Heroes!

Click Here For A SpoilerNot just that but as Garth (pre-Lost), not Jarth. Makes me wonder if there are some Tales of the Time Lost Legion to tell or if the pencillers just screwed up. With Andy Lanning listed on inks/finishes you'd think he'd catch a major mistake like that.

The "247" was just a nod to Legion readers, it doesn't appear to me to have anything at all to do with the "importance" of the Legion. What sounds better as far as Legion trivia and history, Earth-12 or Earth-247? Is Earth-97 (Tangent) more important than Earth-154 (home of Superman Jr and Batman Jr)?
I'd chalk Garth's arm up to a pencilling error ("screw up" is way too harsh a term for this). And Andy Lanning might not have inked these pages, which look like Perez art.
Captain Carrot was on Earth-C.
My interpretation of this panel in regards to the Legion's last appearance is that somehow they made it TO Earth-247 from the void in which we last saw them, where they had left their time as the future of Earth-Post-Zero-Hour. During the time when all the Earths were in the sky, Shikari made her way from Earth-Post-Infinite-Crisis to Earth-247 and found the rest of the Legion just in time for this panel.
Finally, you'll see on that 2-page spread that Alex Luthor only picked two Earths from among the multitudes to smush together in his "petri dish": 154 (the Super-Sons) and 462 (a JSA/All-Star Squadron thing that I don't recognize). All we can see by the last page is that all of the Earths are apparently back together, as New Earth.
