Well, I should at least try to get that original page to add to my others of Legion World. That way I'll have its birth (reveal) to its death.

I just wonder what the fate of those onboard is? Chuck (and maybe Gear) were there at the time.

Yeah...like Gary is saying, that seems really odd to me to blow LW up with all of the tech and more importantly people inside. Unless they're going for a huge sense of loss here.
...no offense to Mr. McKone, but that is one scary-looking Kid Quantum II in the page above.

Also of note, "A dozen Legionnaires are already hurt, maybe worse." The Cadets and Chuck are confirmed to be on Legion World. "Mon-El" [their mistake?] and XS are on Earth in battle.
The others who were not depicted in this issue -
Live Wire, Invisible Kid ([HOPE]maybe he's invisible?[/HOPE]), Violet, Kinetix, Gates, Sensor, Ferro, Gear, and Timber Wolf.

That has to be a reference to Legion #38 where we saw several Legionnaires down.
Just so the others know though, we've got Star Boy, Ultra Boy, Superboy, Starfire, Cyborg and Brainiac5 all are pushing for all they're worth to keep Legion World from breaking up. Maybe LW will survive? (the prospects don't look good though)

I should have figured it would be more of a 'guest starring' or 'cameo' bit for the Legion in the TT issue instead of a full-on crossover. It's kind of upsetting to know so many people can get left in the dust and yet they'll go and do something major like blow LW and possibly all of the major players on it up.
I'm a little pissed of doing big stuff like this, just because it feels like a, "We're not going to see this reality ever again anyway, so let's mess everything up for shock value"-type thing. I wouldn't be shocked to have a few Legionnaires killed along the way (a la Universe Ablaze) and then be left for dead as we lose this reality. I'm actually upset about the Reimagining for the first time now, just at how rushed and carefree such big events to the Legion are becoming.
I should probably take on the mindset that "The reboot Legion ended at Legion #33 (or #38 for me)" and just enjoy the tale for what it's worth.

I hate to even think this let alone say it but maybe with the reboot coming they are just killing off a lot of Legionnaires (not to forget at least R.J. and various SP members and those of Shikari's race manning the Threshholds) for the shock value.

Hopefully, some of the Legionnaires who are currently unaccounted for (including some of the injured) are on Earth with Mon and XS. A ray of hope: all of them, including Gear, are on next issue's cover. The worst thing Waid and Johns could do is piss fans off by turning this into a bloodfest. It's supposed to be fun, dammit.

I think I'm going to sit this issue out. I'll wait for reviews of the special before I decide whether to pick it up.

Fun? Ah yes - the employment of time in a profitless and non-practical way.
Remember Waid wanted to 5YG this story, just for the hell of it, and was stopped only because of what it'd have done to Kon.
Fun? This is a clear-the-decks, no-one to be left alive so we can flush it all away story. No room for fun.
