I just read the latest issue of Justice League Adventures, and was pleasantly surprised to find a guest appearance by the Legion. The plot is simple: Kilg%re attacks the JLA, and, during the crisis, some members get sent to the future, where they meet the Legion. There, both teams defeat Kilg%re (who traveled to the future with them), with the help of the unlikeliest of allies.
Kent Shakespeare, as a 30th century reporter. C.O.M.P.U.T.O (original form) Shvaughn Erin
Cameo appearances by:
Ultra Boy Chameleon Cosmic Boy Saturn Girl Live Wire Spark Triplicate Girl Bouncing Boy Shady Dreamer Dawnstar's Costume (Worn by Hawkgirl) Colossal Boy's costume (worn by fan)
Bits of Legionnaire Business
C.O.M.P.U.T.O had previously tried to kill one third of Triplicate Girl.
Brainy and Laurel are a couple. Laurel wears the pants.
Their HQ is a stylized version of the original upside down rocket ship.
Mordru and the Fatal Five rate mentions.
Laurel's loincloth gets replaced by a full body costume.
Most of the Legionnaires are away dealing with a breakout at Takron Galtos
Final comments: and excellent selfcontained story. The Legion and its world are excellently used. Buy it now.
Edit: Yay! Hundreth post!

I asked my shop to make sure to hold me a copy but they didn't know if they would have enough. This is a title they usually only order to cover holds and like an idiot I forgot to order it in advance.

I also quite liked it, it has nice touches for 'longtimers'. For example, Wonder Woman gets to wear Laurel Kent's red costume, Hawkgirl Dawnstar's. There are also mentions of Computo and Triplicate Girl, of Takron-Galtos and of Mordru and the Fatal Five. I also liked seeing Andromeda with a prominent role. Quite a nice issue, actually.

Sis's yellow outfit makes a return appearance? That's a start, I guess ... I'll have to pick that up tomorrow.
This Hawkgirl does have natural wings, by the way, which is a departure from past depictions.

I'm sure I could find a couple of copies around here. I've got dozens of Comic Shops within a few miles of my home, if mine doesn't have the copies next Wednesday.

I thought it was a nifty little story. It had lots of little bits. I saw Starfinger, too, and a couple other things in that one room. And who's statue was that? It had a short cape. Speculation?

No idea; I really hadn't noticed the trophy room before you mentioned it. Hey, has anybody been able to translate the interlac in the newscast yet?

Going from memory here... It looked like the first one spelled "Kent Shakespeare" and the second one was Legion of Superheroes. I didn't confirm it, but I think the letter count was right and the "e" and "s" symbols in both interlac captions lined up where they should have been to spell those two things out. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Reflecto
That's what I thought too, but I couldn't remember for sure if he had a short cape.
