Really? I thought the LSH Annual was far superior.
I know that LSH Annual has it's fans here so I wasn't going to bring it up... but since you made me - I hated it!
It's been so long since I've read it now that I can't quite remember why I didn't like it but I have vague recollections of not thinking much of the art or the designs or personalities of any of the new Legionnaires.
And it probably didn't help that it starred Wildfire who at that point (pre DnA and Olivier Coipel's awesome redesign) was my least favourite Legionnaire of all time.
Also - at least this Legionnaires Annual was at least kinda tied to what was going on in the main books since it was about XS bouncing through these alternate timelines while she made her way back to the 31st century. (Not to mention it had a Gary Concord/Ultra-Man guest appearance AND a nice meeting between Jenni and her grandpa Barry Allen - back when it was still exciting to see him in a book!)
The LSH Annual, on the other hand, was a total out-and-out Elseworlds with no bearing whatsoever on what was going on in the other books. As a BIG fan of that era in Legion history I felt cheated that I was missing out on another installment in their adventures to read about some uninteresting nobodies that would never appear again.
I disliked those 'One Million' issues for similar reasons.
One day I'm gonna give the whole Reboot a re-read though so I'll see if my opinion has changed then.

That's probably the issue there as it was a pitch-perfect Wildfire and a breath of fresh air for those waiting for him. I remember waiting desperately for Peyer to bring him into the team after this Annual. Instead we got...something else.
Not to go much further off-topic, but I liked the Power of Shazam! Dead Earth Annual as well. But I'm one of the few people who liked Thunder.
