Tangent question: Did Wally Wood ever draw any Legion issues? I know he did some JSA during the 70's.

with the Lightning Saga/Action Legion coming back (hopefully permanently) where does that leave the Superman/Batman adult Legion and the Saturn Queen etc featured in that arc and Supergirl #7?
Are these from Earth xx or gone for good?

There's a Geoff Jones interview over on Newsarama that mentions Rainbow Girl - sorry, I'm not sure how to create links - and he also says that there are only two GLs left by the 31st century, our man Rond Vidar being one.

I just noticed that DC lists Action #863's on sale date as April 2nd. The banner here at Legionworld says that it goes on sale on March 19th. I hoping that DC's info is wrong.

I'd tend to believe the DC site. I'll change ours soon.
And for posterity -

quote: NRAMA: [laughs] OK, but despite the fact that this interview is concentrating just on Green Lantern and not your other DC titles, it's hard to talk about the emotional spectrum and not mention that we saw a character in Action Comics last week who seemed to tap into this emotional spectrum for her powers.
GJ: Yeah. [laughs] Rainbow Girl. But not very well. She's managed to tap into a couple of colors. But she doesn't understand them. To her, it's just more for fun.
NRAMA: So we know the emotional spectrum has power even into the future.
GJ: Yeah. Where there is no Green Lantern Corps.
NRAMA: There isn't any Green Lantern Corps in the future?
GJ: Not in the 31st century.
NRAMA: So... there's nobody left from the Green Lantern Corps?
GJ: Uh... in the 31st century, you have two Green Lanterns. That's it.
NRAMA: Who are they?
GJ: One's Rond Vidar. And there's another one.
NRAMA: Uh huh.
GJ: ...
NRAMA: And are you going to tell us the other one?
GJ: No. [laughs]
NRAMA: [laughs] So I guess we're going to find out who the other one is in some upcoming story?
GJ: Yes, we will.
NRAMA: Is that something you’re writing?
GJ: Uh... maybe.
Another revision to the established Pre-Crisis DCU. The Corps was intact and there were several other Green Lanterns (notably a Durlan and Xenofobe in or around sector 2814).

But the real question is... are they still banned from Earth on Mondays?

So, what of Brian Bendis’ comments on “Final Crisis" last week, "in 2012 when final crisis is done, we'll see what's what" interpreted by many as stating that the book is very late.
This seemed to be confirmed from a number of sources. But one had more details.
I’m told Grant Morrison turned in the issue one script back in November. However, it was not exactly what has been previously discussed and didn’t bounce off from the end of “Countdown" as intended. It also goes off on what can only be described as Morrisonian tangents. You know, what readers call “the good bits."
So Dan DiDio flew to Scotland after Thanksgiving to discuss possibilities further. I understand the script is unchanged, but it was from those discussions that the 50 cent “DC Universe" #0, shipping the week after Free Comic Book Day, emerged. Co-written with Geoff Johns, it will keep any "Countdown" continuity issues out of the “Final Crisis" series and prepare the way... very much the John The Baptist of comic books.
Geoff Johns is also writing a Final Crisis-spinoff "Legion" mini series drawn by George Perez that will slot into all of this very nicely.
Artist JG Jones is currently working on issue two. I've been told that if there are production delays, rather than throw in "Countdown"/"Infinite Crisis" style fill-in artists, or cause "Civil War" style sales-harming delays on the book, expect the pages by JG Jones to reduce for subsequent issues with back up stories with the DCU #0 artists Scriver, Pacheco and Daniel to replace them. Which means the book may extend a couple of issues to fit in all of Morrison’s story, the retailers get their fill, and everyone wins...
Apart from Brian Bendis.

Kent, I was speaking from a pre-pre-boot Crisis-related standpoint.
Naturally I couldn't be happier about the pairing of Geoff and George! You take my favorite writer, one of my favorite artists of all time working on my favorite team (period!) and I'm there! We'll get to see George's version of all 3 Legions (which I assume is preboot, post-ZH, and threeboot?)!!
Forever etched in my brain is George's cover to Legion of Super-Heroes #278, with the team trying to prevent Grimbor's chains from crushing the earth, with Garth blasting them with lightning, and Saturn Girl telling him it is hopeless. Ah, good times, good times...
