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 - Originally posted by Harbinger:
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.
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?

I'm shocked that this isn't over here yet... FINAL CRISIS TALKS [Yellow Light] 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.

I dunno about this. IIRC, the last time Perez drew the Legion, we lost Kid Psycho...

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...

Well, the preview images from DC Universe 0 only show the LS Legion, but we still have the 3 legions story that's supposedly coming, and it could be it.

Great new issue the latest Action was. I really love this run more and more. The story develops quite nicely, and there lots of space for characterization.
I really feel with this version of the Legion, and I'm aching to finally see the whole team free and kicking the Justice Leagues butt! The Subs crashing into the space station was a great beginning, the Legion sneaking in was a great addition - but the plan to split up instead of first freeing the whole team was lousy... come on, this is 12th Level intelligence Brainiac 5 planning, he would never come up with such a lousy plan!
But okay, for the pure reason of a greast thrill, I'll let that one slip :-)
All in all I'm very satisfied with the Action run and consider this to be the best Legion story since TMK. I really hope the characters will survive the Final Crisis, no matter the cost.

Re-reading the whole arc thus far in one sitting, I'm still quite pleased by it all, and I see elements hinted at beofre they were actually intro'd.
Brainy's comments in the prior issue, regarding not having done anything with the lightning rod: he says that someone is missing thus far who can activate it until the Crisis of the 31st Century.
If the Crisis of Three Legions has already happened (or partially happened) for this Neo-Retro Legion, as I recall being implied back in Lightning Saga, then perhaps that Legion witnessed their future selves using the rod... along with XS, perhaps? She would be a likely candidate if both Barry and Bart are trapped in the Speed Force.

i'm waiting to see if there was anything to read into Brainy's comment to Supes about getting him back to his "proper" time. The word "proper" just seemed too intentional in the context, as if he wasn't taken from his proper time line.

I've enjoyed following this series. It's been nice to have the Legion I grew up with back (or one closely resembling it). I don't remember the last time that I've re-read a Legion comic so many times.

I have the notion that he's supposed to be back home on Trom but I may be wrong about that.

I believe Matthew is correct; that was implied, at least.
It makes sense, given how powerful he is; he'd more easily tip the scales for Kal's team or make Earthman that much more omnipotent.

Question: Could Jan undo any damage caused by Golden Boy, or would he only be able to turn the gold to another element? Talk amongst yourselves...

Omni-Craig: I don't think it's so easily undone. Given a lot of time, Element Lad could probably reverse all the changes Golden Boy made, but he couldn't, for instance, bring anyone back to life that way.
Askanipsion: Crisis on Infinite Earths is when Superboy was replaced in Legion continuity by pocket-universe Superboy, not that anyone noticed at the time. Original Legion continuity wasn't completely swept away and rebooted until Zero Hour, which was in, I believe, 1994.

Omni: I believe Jan should only be able convert the gold to another element, or possibly, with extreme concentration, into a combination of distict elements. It was only after a near-infinite period of practice, at the Progenitor, that Jan was able to get all the requisite building blocks working together in the molocules, cells, proteins, etc. necessary to actually create and/or manipulate life.

God I hate Countdown. Don't want to spoil it but one the timelost LS Legion members aint coming home again. And since their are only 3 (Karate Kid, Una, and Starboy/man) it kinda narrows down the choices.
