I picked up the Comics Buyers Guide with the Legion. Among the articles is a Levitz interview.
"Only the pre-1990 series and the first two Johns stories--and whatever still-unwritten bits happened in between--will 'count'.
...
"But what about 'Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds'? That was a third Johns-written story with the 'original' Legion; it guest-starred the 'Zero Hour' Legion and the 'Threeboot' Legion. Many important things happened there that would greatly affect any Legion story, such as the death of Legion founder and financier R.J. Brande. Are those things not part of the new Legion continuity?
"'Not necessarily', Levitz said. 'Or at least they may never be mentioned again. Only time will tell.'"
I've yet to see this bombshell mentioned either on this board ot the DC board. (Although in the specific case of Brande's death we do know that that still counts, since Adventure #11 is about his will.) (Edit: The Brande's will story was not written by Levitz.)

That's good news for me, at least. Never read it. Probably never will.

Oh, and my mistake. The Brande's will story was not written by Levitz, so this doesn't mean that he counts Brande as being dead. The use of Gates and Sodam Yat, however, do seem to be L3W elements that Levitz is using.

Perhaps he's only using elements of the story he finds useful or feels he can develop further.

This good news about Legion of Three Worlds no longer being in continuity possibly. However it does make the series even more pointless then it was already.
However I do think Brande is still dead because if he is not the solicit for next weeks Adventure is really, really wrong.
quote:ADVENTURE COMICS returns to its historical numbering with this issue just in time for Paul Levitz to retell the Legion's origins! Everything begins on a somber note reflecting on the past with "The Last Will and Testament of R.J. Brande"!

I have the feeling she's gonna "pop out" of the Black Witch along with Mordru one of these days.

I agree and it cannot happen soon enough for me
When she does if they can find a way to turn her back in to the cat girl she was for awhile that would be great too.

I saw this in CBG too but didn't find it all that exciting. I think that's going to be Paul's general approach to anything continuity-mess related from Crisis to now: Paul will cherry pick all the best stuff that works for him.
We'll just have to keep that other thread going as each issue comes out and we can confirm what's what!
