Or the current Kara is going to join the LSH in her future but in Brainy's past? It's time travel and she's still pretty young, I don't see why it couldn't happen...I think Kara meeting Brainy from after he's already known her all her life is kind of an interesting road to go down actually..
On another note, those covers are terrible!!
The Superman/Batman and the Superman ones are the best, but they are ALL pretty uninspired IMO...

What a... variety of art styles. It makes me lament for the days of house styles.
So, they are going to deal with the crazy continuity they've created. Can't say I really care.

There is something seriously wrong with Superboy in the Adventure cover. I mean really wrong.

so... when the Legion flashbacks to an old adventure, we'll see Supergirl in her current midriff baring outfit alongside Saturn Girl and the rest in their old silver age numbers? hmm. that would be hilarious!

So what is the "devastating loss" for the Legion? I still think part of DC's overriding strategy for trying to reintegrate the Legion into its 20th century books is to provide a steady stream of bodies, since DC has already killed most of the Teen Titans.

It always confuses me how Durlans and the Time Trapper all seem to use the same tailor(s).
At least Supes and Batman are fighting and not just lying around looking supinely hhhhhhhhot amongst the tentacles, which is exactly what we'd get if it were Supergirl and Batgirl.
As covers go, I've seen wayyyy worse than this batch.

Not me. The more there is to help distinguish one book from another, the better.

Brainiac has the remains of Braal, Winath, Tharr etc so if a bottle goes so does its population and its eventual Legionnaire. Does this tie into Paul Levitz's death of a homeworld? ie it died 1000 years earlier.
If they kill anyone it will probably be Tenzil - who PL seems to hate - or Tellus. Nightcrawler predicted Tellus would end up Sushi when he first appeared in the Jimmy Olsen Special. I hope he's wrong.
Or as a late thought, how about the supposedly incurable schizophrenic?
