I have to read the solicits for this one. Has most of my top 10 fave members on the cover (Blok, Brainy, Wildfire, Dawnstar, White Witch)!!!
And the Superboy Blackest Night tie in. Interesting! That's his clone right? (or whatever the bizarro superboy was)

Guys, I've just thought of something about Wildfire's new suit.
The old one pretty much was a stylish hazmat suit when you get down to it, so when people give a first glance they don't think he's really made up of anti-energy. But in his new one it's so obvious you'd have to be blind not to realize he's made of energy. What if it's a statement that Drake has, I don't know, moved on from his desire to gain a flesh and blood body back and has accepted his state, no longer caring about it. And yes I have thought about the whole Dawn/Drake relation. You think it's possible?

That would be a nice bit of characterization for Drake IMO, agree with his moving on or not. Exploration of why he as a ball of energy still has conscious would be a difficult story to write I think, but it could tie in with that decision.

That's the best variant cover so far. I hate having to buy them both, but a Legion fanatic's gotta do what a Legion fanatic's gotta do...

That's a pretty neat observation.
I'd be leery of assuming that the writers put that much thought into it (since the've decided that his containment suit was built out of Red Tornado...), but I like the idea, as it suggests character growth on his part, and the least attractive part of the Wildfire / Dawnstar relationship, to me, was how the characters seemed incapable of moving forward in anyway, just going through the same angsty stuff over and over.
If they really felt the need to connect Drake to the 20th, I think I would have preferred a tie to Firestorm, somehow, with Drake being some sort of elemental avatar of destruction or something. (Sort of like the antimatter universe version of Firestorm.)

Guys, on the DC Comics page for Ad #4 they released a preview with more pages. Including the Legion. And guess what? The SP story is called "He Primed Me". Oh and Blok's outer shell is falling off.

Click Here For A SpoilerPrime is attacked and given his armor back by BL Alex Luthor in order to provoke him, get him angry like he was. And to help do that, Alex is aided by Black Lanterns Charaxes, Bushido, the Blood Pack members Prime killed in IC and, oh yeah, Sun Boy and Element Lad.
In the Legion back-up, it doesn't end as you think. And we see mention of Glorith, Evillo, Kid and Blue Devil, and Zatanna.

Interesting comments from Brainiac 5 about the irrational behavior of Legionnaires in love, considering that in the revised history of this Legion, he probably had neither a Supergirl nor a Laurel Gand to get emotional over.

Yeah. The outer shell fell off when Strata matured into a girl.
I wonder how THAT will effect Blok's and Mysa's relationship?
