From the Q&A with Jeph Loeb in Wizard #154:
Wizard: So it's safe to assume Superman and Batman aren't the good guys this time around?
Loeb: That's a safe assumption [Laughs]. I think what will surprise people is who the good guys are and what their actual mission is! We didn't make a bunch of villains good so that you'd think you're in some bizzaro world, that's not what's happening in this story.
Wizard: Are there larger villains behind the scenes pulling strings?
Loeb: What happened to the world didn't happen by accident. It's not a mystery who the villains are; you'll know at the end of the first issue and they're three characters that we know. We don't know them from Superman and Batman stories, but the idea was to bring them into their lives and to really give these two guys new foes that will hopefully be around for a long time as part of their rogues gallery. The mystery is how to fix the problem. I can tell you that at the end of every issue it gets worse.

As far as I can tell, the series takes place in normal DC continuity -- which has been a bit surprising recently, considering the fact that some major events have occurred in the title that affect the entire DCU (re: Luthor, etc.). Of course, Hypertime or whatever passes for "alternate timeline" characters could still appear.[/b] so this is "real" as far as it goes. Until the heroes (who ever they are) turn up to put things back to what we know and love? If thats the case then maybe these are not the LSV as we know them but are actually the Legion of the future and that was Garth, Imra and Cos (that would also explain the magnatism powers shown) Only by "stealing" the kids can they hope to put things right?

Well then who are the three villains that Loeb is hoping will become part of the rogues gallery? I still think its the LSV but maybe they'll get help from the Legion.

How do we know the "re-imagined" Cosmic King doesn't have magnetic powers?

Besides, it seems improbable that the LSH founders would be shown killing the Kents...

Yeah, its just the Superman/Batman series that is currently on-going. Issue #14.
But if you want the name of the story its "Absolute Power".

Sorry about being so naive, I just thought those were thumbnails attatched to larger covers, I didn't know they were links to threads. Thanks for the info.

I'd guess it's an alternate reality Diana wearing the mystical fabric (or whatever it was) that Donna wore.

You'd think that me who also happens to be a HUGE Wondy fan would've made that suggested Donna connection with that there cover too, ah. (seriously never even crossed my mind Donna possibly being Wondy here)

And yuck to the news! No problem, Nightcralwer. So much for counting on this to ease the two months of LSH absence.
