Oh and the article in wizard this month basically explained that the JLA/JSA crossover is really a JLA/JSA/Legion crossover with no pussyfooting around. I'm just wondering where in Silver Age legion this takes place and how are they going to deal with the silver age supergirl issue?

Seems I am reading the wrong DC books right now - I had NO IDEA that there was so much 80s Legion going on in JSA...
Are there certain issues when this all began? Do I have to subscribe to JSA to find out more? Or will these just be tasty cameos with no relevance whatsoever???
Somehow, I never did get into JSA in all it's incarnations... kind of a blind spot in my team superhero book collection...
Can somebody tell me what's going on there???

Also you will want all of this upcoming crossover with the JLA
The Wizard article explained it as a 3 way crossover with Legion.
Well I guess that's a typical case of "Wait for the trade to come out"... :-)
I guess I'll check out the current issue, though. I hate it when I miss something important... last time that happened was "Identity Crisis", but I got the HC for cheap on German ebay. Nobody bids for the comics on German ebay - you get your trades and hardcovers really cheap there if you keep looking :-)

More on this JLA/JSA crossover: recently in JLA there's been a minor villain named Trident (so called because he wields an electric trident) who, with Plastique and Dr. Impossible, was acting as Professor Ivo's flunky. Black Lightning disposed of him without much trouble and I figured he was just cannon fodder.
But in this week's issue of JLA, #7, Batman is examining the still-unconscious Trident in the JLA's (very spiffy indeed!) new headquarters, and runs his DNA (I think that's what he's checking) through the JLA's computer. And it recognizes Trident as a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes!
WTFF?
I mean, I can buy a disoriented Star Boy ending up under Dr. Mid-Nite's care. I can buy Dream Girl having some misadventure that makes her end up in a cell in Arkham. I can buy Infectious Lass showing up in whatever metafictional escapade she's on. But for a Legionnaire to become a loser supervillain fetching and carrying for Solomon Grundy... what's going on here?
Three questions, the obvious one first.
1. Which Legionnaire is it? (I'm gonna have to go back and reread the first arc of Justice League looking for more info on Trident.) 2. How do the 21st-century heroes know the Legion well enough to have their DNA on file? 3. If this is - and it must be, mustn't it? - one of the Levitz-era Legionnaires, then the 21st-century heroes must be familiar with the Levitz-era Legion. So just what kind of connection does the Waid/Kitson Legion have with the current-day DCU? Especially if the Waid/Kitson Legion is seen reading actual DC comics. But then there's Supergirl and Mon-El, travelling from the current-day DCU to the Waid/Kitson future... How does this work?

I've seen a spoiler on another board that 'reveals' which Legionnaire Trident is. I won't repeat it here, because I have no idea about the source or reliability of this assertion.
But I wonder, does this whole thing make JLA #1-6 necessary for Legion AR collectors?
