The mystery continues: what are members of the classic Legion doing in the present of the current DC universe? Each of the amnesiac Legionnaires has had their memory restored with the Interlac phrase "Lightning Lad." The last page reveals that the Legionnaires are equipped with lightning rods, and Dawnstar says, "We're here to save him, aren't we? I know where we have to go."

Is Lightning Lad dead again? Are we headed off to the planetoid of eternal lightning, to raise Garth from the dead?

Only time will tell....
