That is such a classic looking Grell cover! I think I've died and gone to heaven.

OK, something I was thinking about and a nagging little irritation.
The Founders say to Clark "Oh you have never seen flying kids before." Yet in this Post-Crisis Earth, we have the Justice Society that fought in WWII. So flying people, although probably not common, would not be unknown. Kind of takes away the whole alienated Clark vibe.

From the story, these Legionnaires are only slightly more than six months removed from the Lightning Saga. So it seem weird that Dawnstar's and Wildfire's looks would have changed so much. I hope they don't change every Legionnaire's look after using the silver age looks to convince the readers that this is the same as the pre-boot Legion.
Or are the new looks a hint that maybe this is not the Lightning Saga Legion at all Maybe this is another universe Legion that knew about the Lightning Saga and used that to trick Superman into coming to the 30th century.
My theory is that these adventures take place much later than the lightning saga stories and that Earth's sun is that way because of what probably happend during The Crisis. I would say this "original" legion stories take place in after the battle with The Infinite Man.

Oh, I thought it was Element Lad in the middle but it's so danged hard to tell who's who. Assuming the guy Dawnstar is holding is Mekt (I took it to be LL at first), is this a clue he's the dark guy in the black robes -- because it sure looks like she's "unrobing" him. (But why would Mekt, an alien, be part of the "go home, aliens" Justice League?)

I just went by the force field belt for Brainy. And it does seem an odd look and situation for Mekt; maybe it's actually a shapeshifter.

You know, I was trying to find a villain who is connected both with the Legion AND Superman and who might have something to do with stellar powers that would explain the change in the sun. And there is one
Pulsar Stargrave!
Here's an excerpt from the entry in wiki:
A native of the planet Colu, Stargrave originally claimed to be the father of Brainiac 5. In later comics, Pulsar Stargrave was believed to be the original Brainiac[i], but this was never confirmed.
In appearance, Stargrave looks like an ordinary Coluan with no hair. At some point before the 30th Century Stargrave's body merged with that of a star as it went supernova, giving him [i]the ability to harness and control stellar energy.
Stargrave is an extremely powerful figure, on par with other Legion opponents such as Mordru and the Time Trapper. In his quest for galactic conquest he teamed up with Glorith, and often manipulated the Legion, especially Brainiac 5.
And the robot Brainy used to contact Superman is reminiscent of Brainiac. What do you think?

We're notorious for it.
So, I got my copy of Action late but at least I the got it. There's something wrong with this Superman. I'm betting that this is one of those alternate Earths. The origin's off, the coloring's off, the art's off, are these guys Qwardian or something?
Could it be that "The Three Legions" will be alternate Earth Legionnaires we've never actually seen before? That would be disappointing, I was hoping for different eras or "restore points" for various LSH versions. It would make us all happier to see the DnA Legion fight alongside the WnK Legion as well as filling out the story with pre-Crisis Legionnaires.
The "thousand years in the past" bit confuses me too. What does Superman's history have to do with a planetary civil war? Are we going to find out more about the farmer and the alien baby? Following Jor-El's example may not be such a good idea. I mean, I may love the stories about King Arthur but I'm hardly going to bundle up my child and ship him off to England.
I almost feel like I'm reading a random issue of last year's Supergirl series...wtf?..
