Coming Distractions: Nov. 2008

Coming in November: some Starman/Kingdom Come/JSA stuff, some new Legion stuff (Night Girl, Gazelle, Sizzle and Turtle), a new trade paperback (reprinting LSH v3 #7-13), a couple of old TPBs (Brave and Bold, Superman: Past & Future), and the final issue of "Legion of Super-Heroes in the 31st Century".

Looks like "Legion of Three Worlds" is taking the month off, or maybe it's just slipping a week into December where we'd have two issues. Hopefully.
