So was the little "reveal" in the Fortress from the Action Annual all a setup to this issue?
What if it goes like this:
Superman heads to the 31st century to bring back Supergirl. He meets the current Waid LSH, and says "hey, wait a minute, you guys aren't the Legion I know. Where are the pink bikinis, etc? Kara, I knew we should have made that left turn at Albequerque - we're in an alternate timeline/universe/hypertime bypass/whatever!" The issue then paves the way for the cancellation of the Waid series and the return of the classic Legion being hinted at through JSA, the Action Annual, etc.
Just for the record, I actually enjoy the current Legion quite a bit and wouldn't like to see it go. Actually, I've been collecting the Legion for about 25 years, and have enjoyed almost every version of them.

I think they're definitely setting up a "this isn't the Legion I know!" type problem. What the payoff of it is going to be... I don't know.

there's one problem with that scenario, Waid has always said that this Legion is the future after IC. editors and the powers that be can always change their minds and/or deceive the readers.
also, Mon-el is here. and based on the Action Annual he is the same Mon-el that superman put in the phantom zone.
I am going to stop now, time travel stuff gives me a headache.

There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.

I prefer the original team, but I remember reading both JLA and JSA back in the day, with Earth 1 and Earth 2 versions of Superman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Green Lantern, etc. At around the same time, I was reading Avengers comics with Captain America, and Invaders comics with WW2 Captain America, Namor, etc. without a problem.
I'd be perfectly fine with 'earth 1 and earth 2' Legions. Something for everyone.

newsarama usually runs an early preview with 3 or 4 early solicts. but yeah, the full one won't be out until Monday.

I don't agree. I think this is just a set up for a way to showcase a clip show as it were. SG looks in on what is coming up in action by visiting the local library.
but to make things more confusing. I think they aren't canceling the current run, they are bringing back the silver age and the SG in legion is not the same SG as in Supergirl... I also think the part of Superman in the future will be skillfully played by Reep Daggle in an atempt to test Supergirl.
