Hickman's chance has come and gone.
My Top 3 choices for new Legion writer:
1. Jude DeLuca, our own Sarcasm Kid
2. Kelly Thompson
3. Hope Larson Love ya, doll.

Oh wait! Guys, there's one point in this we've overlooked.
If they were willing to do another Legion series spinning out of JSA, then it does prove the editorial chokehold the Bendisboot had is mostly gone so the potential is there.

Action Comics #1061 - Bizarro turns up on Zerox - Sorcerer's World in the current day. As we all know Superman is vulnerable to magic - but this is Bizarro, so ...

Did anyone see the cover for Blue Beetle #7 and all the Legionnaires on it?

No I hadn't. Thanks for the tip. That's a lot of heroes. I spotted Saturn Girl, Cosmic Boy, Chameleon Boy, Shrinking Violet, Phantom Girl, Brainiac 5, and maybe Timber Wolf? Not sure. Bit hard to tell from the black & white image I could find (League of Comic Geeks).
I feel like I've seen this cover before. I imagine I've seen one very like it. Not sure which though.

I think it may have been posted here? Not sure.
Anyway, nice Keith Giffen tribute.

Do the Legionnaires actually appear in the story, I wonder. I think I saw a Facebook post saying they didn't.

Pretty sure they don't. The point is just to stick a bunch of characters associated with KG on the cover.

I mean... think about what an amazing tribute it would be if we actually had a *story* that featured all these characters that Keith worked on....

that would certainly have been epic. I mean, most could have just appeared at the end as a cavalry of sorts!

Been catching up on some reading, and in Green Lantern War Journal which focuses on John Stewart, there has been an alien antagonist from the new Green Lantern Corps which is now run by the United Planets. He's a jerk, apparently a political placement , and it doesn't go well for him.
But in issue #4 we start on Durla and the character's design clicked as the same alien Durlan design from the Fourboot. As we saw in a Superman comic several months ago the current leader of the UP is a bigwig from Durla and he's a power hungry jerk too.
So not a Legion sighting but interesting to see that design continuing. Of course since they are Durlan their current form is maybe just a fashion trend which will one day fade away ...

kind of like real-world politics, where nations rise and fall. Durlans have a leadership position in the 20th century UP; in the Reboot's 30th, Durla was once vilified because people were afraid of their shapeshifting

Guys, the Blue Beetle issue isn't just featuring the Legionnaires on the cover.
Josh Trujillo tweeted that it's going to feature different ERAS highlighting the works of Keith Giffen.
Now we just have to wonder which Legion they're gonna highlight...

Now we just have to wonder which Legion they're gonna highlight... Given the prominence of GDS era Legionnaires on the cover, that seems the most obvious. Maybe 5YL as well? Probably not the retroboot.

Probably not the retroboot. We actually argued about that on Twitter. We figure it likely won't be featuring the Bendisboot, because it would seem weird to honor Giffen's memory by focusing on a Legion he had no involvement with. We weren't sure because before the colored cover was finally released, we couldn't tell if one figure was Bendisboot Garth or Black Lightning as some small nod to the brief time Giffen was writing Outsiders. After the colored version's release we could tell one of the characters was Garth in his Silver Age costume. Huh I wonder if this will also reference his Doom Patrol run.

FYI, apparently Josh Trujillo posted a list of comic recommendations to read in time for the Keith Giffen tribute issue of Blue Beetle.
He put LOSH #25-28 (1989)
