Comment(s):

The title Legionnaires changes focus from the SW6 Legion of Super-Heroes to the "Post-Zero Hour" or "Reboot" Earth-247 Legion of Super-Heroes, though they would not be identified as "Earth-247" until the Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds mini-series.
Legion characters will be indexed with an "(Earth-247)" descriptor. Aside from a few exceptions, such as Earth-247 itself, all other profiles such as planets, alien races, technology whether or not they originate in the Earth-247 reality. Notable differences shall be addressed in the profile articles themselves.
This series' continuity becomes intertwined with the Legion of Super-Heroes Vol. 4 series, allowing in effect for the Legion to be published bi-weekly. While the DCU Guide will index both series with "triangle numbering" for easier navigation, the triangle numbers themselves did not appear until January 1996.

Synopsis:

The fledgling Legion of Super-Heroes gets in way over its head during its first official mission, investigating the assassination attempt of its mentor, R.J. Brande. Even the Legionnaires cannot prevent a second murder attempt - not without the help of some mysterious new recruits.
