I take this as a sign that the Rebirth Legion (ReLegion) will be the Reboot one. I mean, Mark Waid's Flash run is being collected, and was solicited around the time Rebirth first started. And Cassandra Cain's Batgirl stuff is being collected, no doubt to tie-in to her reappearance in Batman & Robin Eternal.

It's not a sure fire thing, since as far as I know Linda Danvers hasn't reappeared or anything to tie-in with PAD's Supergirl being collected -- though that might just be because it's one of the few good Supergirl runs and can tie-in to the show -- but I'm definitely leaning towards the Reboot Legion being the one that's returning.

While I love what I've read of the Reboot Legion (most of what's in this trade, Legion of the Damned), I was hoping for a fresh start, tbh. I dunno, I think a completely new version of the Legion is more new-reader friendly, which the Legion definitely needs.
Legion Lost (reboot, not New 52) TPB coming, including both Damned & Rifts (tho not the DnA/Moy Robotica setup):

Legion Lost: The Complete Saga Paperback – June 13, 2017

Now collected in its entirety, the entire LEGION LOST saga is here!

The Legion of Super-Heroes finds itself stranded in a distant galaxy, on the home planet of the vicious alien race known as the Progeny. While some of our heroes struggle to repair their damaged spaceship, the rest attempt to forge an alliance with the peaceful Kwai. But can the Legion help the Kwai defeat their oppressors and still make their way back home to Earth?

Collects LEGION LOST #1-12, LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #122-125 and LEGIONNAIRES #79-81.
The LEGIONNAIRES TPB Dave mentioned is in this month's PREVIEWS for people who preorder.
The Super Pets Collection has reportedly been cancelled.
Amazon removed the date on the Legends companion, which usually means it's cancelled.
Ha ha. I loved PAD's Supergirl, but I'm picturing Supergirl fans getting their parents to buy them this, and it winds up being about a blob of bubble gum that merges with a Satanist to become Supergirl.
According to Bleeding Cool, there's going to be a DnA Legion series starting with the Robotica prelude, SF&O #2, Damned & Rifts. Presumably this is instead of the Damned/Rifts/Lost book above, which Amazon have removed date/etc info from.

A good collection, it includes everything DNA did before Legion Lost.

It's interesting also, if true, in that this would give us the start of complete runs of both major postboot eras (call them the Moy years and the DnA years) in 2017. Legionnaires Book One is due out in less than a month, and The Legion by DnA Vol. 1 (apparently) in September.
Excellent. I saw the Legionnaires Book One ad on Facebook, and they picked a pretty good spot to cut the trade - after Tangleweb's capture, after Triad is stabilized in the hospital, but before the Composite Legionnaire and Saturn Girl's mental "injury", and Kinetix's depowering. And if I remember right, before the White Triangle story started to kick into high gear.

Did anyone get the Legionnaires TPB? How's the quality? $45.00 is a pretty hefty price tag for something that's I already mostly have in TPB form in "Beginning of Tomorrow".
I picked it off the shelf. Then I had a skim through it. I got a reminder that this was when I dropped the book after a long time. I've probably got the issues in it (picked up after I eventually got the issue when Andromeda, Vi and Kinetix joined which is also in this). But I didn't feel the urge to buy it at full price. Something else else about the paper quality seemed a bit odd too, but then I don't buy loads of TPBs, so that might be me.
The Legion by DnA vol. 1 is in the August solicitations for a DM release date of Sep 20th. (Advance-solicited, I suppose). Same issues as the Amazon leak, but the solicit reads:

Happy that this new collection includes the inductions of Kinetix, Violet and Andromeda. The last one cut off JUST before those three joined.

Also includes the end of the Tangleweb arc (with Leviathan getting much-needed closure), and Triad's origin.

Good move cutting it just before the Composite Legionnaire two-parter, that ended with a catatonic Imra... not a good cliffhanger.
The Induction issue was a good one, for anyone here who is tempted and hasn't read it.
