That's a lot for such a slim volume. I guess they're not going to put in the "lost" flashback story, the clone story, or an origin story.

Just how often is Legion of 3 Worlds coming out? It's not really following a monthly schedule is it?
Issue #1 August 20
Issue #2 October 15
Issue #3 December 3
Issue #4 December 24 (but I'm not holding my breath. I fully expect to see it bumped into January at some point).
Based on the solicits it sure doesn't look like the current series is going to be ending at 50. You can't very well begin a Universal Annihilation War in #49 if you're going to wrap everything up in #50.

Wow, I thought No #4 of Crisis in the 31st century would be Brainiac 5 and I was right. Hell tats even the simulair image I'd image it would be too. Though its not as good as the one I had in my head.
I'm also curious, since the Threeboot as meant to end with #50. Don't tell me... Cliffhanger... Please no... Unless it continues.
Don't forget it has not been confirmed that Legion is ending at #50. So far it's only been rumoured, and only by one source. With any luck the series will stick around (with Shooter) for a while to come.
