The one that sounds most interesting in terms of the Legion is the Annual, with the history of Daxam. Otherwise, kind of thin, Legion-wise. Legion as a team, that is.
However, maybe these stories with only one or two legionnaires will provide more depth to the individual characters.
That's a SWEET cover on Adventure #1 and the Monel storyline has been great. Not much of s Supes fan though. Shrapnel? Of the JLA, Supes has the lamest villian list (to me). Can't get into it.

Really?!?!? When is the Streaky issue out?! I MUST KNOW!!!
I agree, the annual does look the best.
It's a shame it's been confirmed that Daxam is a Krypton colony, I always liked the Levitz 'mystery' that no one knew which came first...but at least it looks like my favourite Legionnaire Tellus has a starring role in this story.

Agree about the Daxam colony thing. If only because it destroys my own favored "ancient Llorn-seeding program" theory.
