I'm going to the Wizard World Philly Convention on Saturday, and will be attending the DC Nation Panel hosted by Dan DiDio.
As they usually have a Q & A at the end, is there any Legion-y question that you guys are just dying to ask him?
I'm hereby volunteering to be the mouthpiece for one lucky contestant (chosen at random), and will report back with your answer.

Is R.E.B.E.L.S. DC's solution to the Legion 'problem' because it fits 'better' into DC continuity, and will the traditional Legion characters become Superman Family guest characters from now on?

They would probably just let whatever the next writer wants to do. Which is a mistake!
Whatever

They may have already scarred Dev-Em forever. With the 52 Dev-Em and the criminal 21st century Dev-Em.

It's probably past the cut-off time for questions, but I would like to know what the criteria would be for the Legion to get its own comic. Fan support? Sales of the Adventure book? Gut feeling? A creator begging to do the book?

OK... heading out... let's just fire up the Planetary Chance Machine (AKA a random number generator) and see who the lucky winner is...
Well... the last shall become the first... Fat Cramer! (though personally I loved Tim Drake's question )
OK, FC, I'll try to pose that to DiDio today, though if past performance is an indicator, he tends to be a slippery one.

Wow, what a boring convention. Hardly any DC presence, and very few creators whose names I even recognized. I did pick up a slew of back issues in the quarter bins, though, and had a very nice lunch w/ Shark Lad, so I'll mark those in the win column.
DC Nation. Just a vicious panel at times. Philly is known for being outspoken, and people there made no bones about letting DiDio know how much they thought certain titles "sucked".
Anyway, I did ask Fat Cramer's question, and was told that fan support is essential to bringing the Legion back to the forefront. DiDio likened this period to the post Adventure period, where the Legion played backup to Superboy until enough noise was made to give them their own title. He said that although he always sees the Legion as having a presence in the DCU, this "second feature" status will continue for a period. I followed up, asking how long he anticipated that period being and he said... very discouragingly... "could be a year, could be infinity".
Someone else asked about Legion of 3 Worlds, and he said that if you like Conner Kent, you'll love LO3W #5.
Not directly Legion-y, but someone asked about the severely delayed Ambush Bug #6, and DiDio got, to my eyes at least, somewhat evasive, saying that it will be out soon, as soon as the "dialogue changes" are made. Hmmmmm....
All in all, not a very positive panel for this Legion fan. Although I can somewhat understand the approach of slowly building a new fan base with the backups, I just hope that their strategy pays off.

Well, if that's not a call to arms I don't know what is.
Do today's fans have enough passion to make the same 'noise'? A better question might be if there's any possible way to get enough unity to make the *same* noise?
I know I've been waiting to see what the Legion looks like at the end of Three Worlds... I'm really hoping that the nature of the team(s) and setting(s) left standing by that series' last panel will be something that can somehow unite the Legion's very fractured fandom.
Start thinking of creative ways to make that 'noise' for DC's ears...
