With the real (for people my age) LSH appearing in JLA and JSA these days,
and the real Fatal Five in Brave and the Bold, will this book end with #30
or 32?

And why is Star Boy drawn as nonhuman at the beginning of 29?

Waid is leaving the book, Tony Bedard is coming to write six more-or-less
solo-spotlight issues, then... well, "then", nothing, far as I've heard.

This certainly has a whiff of "impending cancellation/reboot" to it in and
of itself; factor in what has been a less-than-ecstatic reader response to
Waid's vision and the more mainstream success of something much closer to
the classic concept in the cartoon series (not to mention the sheer volume
of old-school-Legion-enabling stories post INFINITE CRISIS) and I'd put the
odds we're seeing another End Of An Era at 75-25.

Since I haven't been following most comics nowadays, does anyone have a list of
the new comics which include a Legion similar to theoriginal LSH?

The most recent two issues of _Justice League_ and _Justice Society_.
_Justice Society_ has had a member called "Starman" from the beginning
who has dressed like Star Boy from v3 but with a hood over the head.
It turns out he really is Thom Kallor.

What issue numbers are these?

Also, what was the issue with the Superboy reference in it?

All of them. #1-5. For JLA, it's #8.

Superboy was never referenced by name, but Superman (in JSA #5) has
statues of the Legionnaires in the Fortress of Solitude.

As mentioned elsewhere, Superboy was never mentioned by name. If DC
has decided not to have a Clark/Superboy or are waiting for the
hostilit... uh, legalities to resolve, they could have the Legion
recruit Clark as they have in the animated series.

I'd rather they avoid writing any Legion comics with Clark in them until
the Superboy issue is resolved. Any references to him could be as
"Kal-El". Though, actually, that could easily be his 31st Century 'code
name'.

32 appears to start a new creative team, Written by Tony Bedard; Art
and Cover by Dennis Calero, and a new arc the Search for Cosmic Boy

Interviews with Tony Bedard suggest that the current Legion will remain.

Where was that? He looked human to me, though I can't say I like the
art very much.

The real question is this: why did it say that Inferno's powers were to
nullify gravity? I suppose this is the same sort of error that told us
Lightning Lad was from Trom.

Bad art. He looks no less human than any of the rest of them in the
banners.
