I think it's a backwards "2"

I originally thought it was "Earths" too. but looking again, I would say it is a 2

It's written upside down in order to confuse your eyes into seeing an "S" I think.

If it is a "2," then more evidence the LS Legion is from the new Earth 2's future. That would be consistent with Starman referring to Superman as "Kal-L." We also know from 52 #52 that the Kryptonians are missing from Earth 2. Is that because their Superman is dead, per Infinite Crisis, and Power Girl is on New Earth? Or is the LS Legion involved? What if the LS Legion had contacts with all the multiversal Supermans? Maybe they had sort of a revolving door of Clark Kents popping in and out. "Quick, get rid of Clark from New Earth! Earth-2 Clark just arrived for a visit!"
...but you don't have a moment where you're sitting there staring at a table full of twenty-five characters with little name signs that say, "Hi, my superpower is confusing you!"

I hope they're from new Earth-2, if only because it makes it even more likely that there's a new Earth-1 out there with a Legion even closer to the original!

What kind of a dismal Legion has no time for a cynical and depressed bug-Legionnaire? Would pay also to see that Thom-Thom-Thom tea-party, especially if Reboot Thom's there!

It was said that none of the Lightning Saga Legionnaires (with the notable exception of schizoid Starman) remembers much about "The Legion of Three Worlds" episode, which must have occurred *before the first Crisis* or else Clark would have no knowledge of it at all. It doesn't make a lick of sense, therefore, that the years younger 2boot and 3boot Legions were involved in a long ago, forgotten team-up (the 3boot Legion is only 2-3 years after formation and didn't even exist until Infinite Crisis!). A more likely scenario is that Starman came into contact with XS and the two other Thoms when he was bouncing around the Multiverse on his most recent trip to the 21st century, and is the only LS Legionnaire to recall meeting parallel earth doppelgangers.
If some semblance of the post-ZH Legion does exist on a parallel Earth, I wonder if Element Lad is back with all his marbles?
This is the second time Starman has mentioned making black holes, and I'm beginning to sense a strong fatalistic vibe around him. If Thom, not Val, is the Legionnaire marked for death in Countdown, it's just as well, since Geoff Johns obviously prefers this maudlin and damaged caricature to the original personality. Let LS Thom die with some dignity before he begins soiling his pants in public. The sloppy joe scene is just, ugh, gross. I am not amused.

I wouldn't say that. I understand what you mean, but: - it's easy to fudge the time element. What's the harm in having all three Legions run parallel to each other? - the threeboot Legion's existence precedes their issue #1 by a significant amount of time. I don't recall if it was a couple of years or six months or what, but it's enough time for a lot of interesting stuff to happen.

I don't think the time element's going to be that big a deal, since the timeline of the Lightning Saga Legion seems significantly different than that of the "original" Legion.
I'd be more worried about what sort of Starboy-esque changes the creators are going to inflict upon the postboot Legionnaires.

Gah! I'm SO behind on picking up my comics! Thanks for posting this stuff, Nighty. I'm not sure if I'll be getting all the KK stuff, so I appreciate being able to come here and see it.

My first thought was... Gates? but nyaah, these have feet...
Exnihil: Novelty, if he had a power, the obvious one to me would of course be "The Power of Grayskull"

I believe this was to be the event that led all of the magic off of Earth and over to Gemworld/Sorceror's World. And that that is supposed to be a version of Mysa.
