More Classic Legion of Superheroes on the Way

Newsarama has a fantastic post-Lighting Saga interview with Justice League writer Brad Meltzer and Justice Society writer Geoff Johns at THIS LINK.

Why is this especially interesting? Check this out:

"But the Legion of Super-Heroes, the team that Superman spent time with when he was a teenager, have retreated back to the 31st century. What happened to them? Why are they reluctant to tell Superman? Why won’t they ask Superman for help? These are all questions that’ll be answered in "Superman and The Legion of Super-Heroes," which is Gary Frank’s first arc in Action Comics, beginning with issue #858."

Unfortunately, that's eight months away, which is pretty damn long to wait to see Superman finally get his explanation and we possibly get an explanation of whether that's Barry Allen in the Lightning Rod or not. The good news is, given the timing of the story, my guess is it will lead into the next big DC Event, meaning the Legion and/or Barry might play a big role.
