I thought it was completely unexpected... never would've put those two together. It does make me curious about how they got together...
...I was pretty underwhelmed by this concluding volume, ratcheting down my impressiong of ANOTHER NAIL. This was a year's worth of story thrown together. I liked that the plot zipped along, but the 'guest' appearances got to be a bit much, for me.
There *were* some good ideas, though-- lots of them. I just wish we'd actually got to see WONDER WOMAN AND THE LEGION OF SUPERHEROES as the solicits tantalized.

What was really cool about seeing the Superboy's Legion in the 2-page-Crisis-type spread was that Flash was with them, which may be the adventure the adult Ultra mentioned to Aquaman and Wonder Woman. He said he had met the Scarlet Speedster in his youth.

Oh y'know, Tinya had probably died again and Jo was in such grief that Projectra had to create an illusion of her to keep him stable, but she eventually developed feelings for him, yada yada...
Regarding the book, there wasn't really much Legion here, for those who haven't read it. They were kinda tossed in there with the kitchen sink (literally - check out that kitchen sink in the big splash page!)

To me it seems that the seeds were planted by Alan Davis and Mark Farmer for a sequal to Superboy's Legion. Maybe some time travel, alternate timeline kinda of stuff.

I believe that a sequel to SUPERBOY'S LEGION has already been confirmed by TPTB at DC, and is currently in the works.
Based on ANOTHER NAIL #3, I should expect Flash to figure into that story.
As to the Ultra/Projectra relationship, it actually makes sence to me. Given that Apparition is royalty in this timeline, it follows that her consort would have a great deal of exposure to other royal famalies, such as Projectra. And given her relationship with Karate Kid, Projectra has already displayed a propensity for hooking up with worthy commoners.

I think Davis is Marvel-exclusive now (and, even if he isn't, he has his hands full with Unanny X-Men).

While the Legion didn't have a big role in the last issue, it was a nice homage to the Legion that the climax was very reminiscent of the Sun-Eater story.
